Intrusion
Virginia Salter

Quiet clusters rest
as gentle strummings
reverb air waves
distant rumble intrudes

closer, closer
louder
thoughts tumble
answers sought
rails fill
box and flat cars

upset peace
solitude
with a call to roam
to adventure

too quickly
passing by
no patience
leaves
lonely, wandering hearts
behind

What an amazing piece of work ... I can't believe it went through the gauntlet without a comment ...
I do believe I'll add this to my library ... to be sure

beautifully written Virginia

I'm surprised to find this still on another page, it's wonderful, fresh and specific.

Thank you all. It is amazing how things drop down so quickly...but this is a very active place. Some things don't even get seen before they drop out of sight. Hmmmmm, if there is no one to see, is there still a vision?
