Trying to paint
a seascape
a miniature
just something

I do yet
the horizon will
not meet the sea
nor will any ships sail here

Just something
I used to
know how
to do

Somehow, the image of you doing anything in miniature...is very hard for me to conceive. Ha! BTW...still waiting on FedEx.

My thanks for your reading.

Sunshine I speak what I see and am.I was something. I am unsure as to what I am now.

JR it may surprise you that one of my perhaps too many avocations is the painting of miniatures. Yeah the big guy with his tiny figures. A picture no doubt amusing. I even sculpt the landscapes and dwellings of such.

And if you want to laugh: some are so small they stand less tall, than the smallest knuckle on your little finger. Yes that is small.

Again my thanks to your reading.

And Fed-Ex is on the way. Tracking number 1121887346.

'Just something

These few words just struck a chord with me, for some reason, AT...I must thank you for sharing this thought-provoking write today! Great write!

do I believe we'd be better off apart?
can I see my world without you in it?
baby, not for a single minute...

Seems sometimes that our lives are filled with things we used to know how to do. Do we acknowledge them and move on or keep trying even when the ability has left us? A thought-provoking poem, sir.

(perhaps I'm thinking of the two hamstrings I pulled playing baseball for the first time after a layoff of many years LOL)

I contemplate the things
the ones I used to do
with ease
without a care

and your poem
has sent me there
to the day of when
but now
a bright new day
and time

An interesting composition, far more complex, I suspect, than its simple design. Thank you for it.
