Evenings Like This (#2) On evenings like this… when ‘life’ seems so lovely…and hopeless, (with epiphanies tapping at the windows) the prehensile mind sparks to consciousness in the glow of inestimable ‘truths’: that it likely takes a lifetime to really ‘listen’ to the wind, or query a cloud and ‘see’ what it ‘knows’… that there is far more ‘meaning’ in a deserted meadow by twilight or one trembling blade of grass, than in all the ‘sacred’ tomes of men… that none of our ‘raging differences’ matter in such a scintillating cosmos of ‘Deep-Time’ potentialities and noctilucent ‘poet-dreams’! |

You could hear the winds moving through those blades of grass, the frogs in their ponds, and owls hooting, summer crickets chirping. Yet all of this goes on in the bankground, there is still silence, beautiful silence and the magic of night and that we all share one common bond. ~ARH |

I thought this poem exceptional, "noctilucent poet dreams"..... that's quite a line. Beautiful. |

The vivid imagery and verbiage, as well as your apparent intellect and talent, are factors that draw me to your poetry. I am never disappointed. This particular one is now one of my favourites of yours.    Linda |

It must be nice. We have a big red firetruck up the street. It makes me feel secure. Bobby |

I have had "evenings like this" but do not have the inspiration or energy to write them out like you do, so beautifully |

Nothing constructive here - only enjoyment. I loved the image of asking a cloud. Just wonderful! |
