Along the long-walled, dormant field Where failing brambles flay the stone He stopped awhile to touch his thoughts And smoke a cigarette alone Then surfaced like a summer spring Images of yesterday When youth was wrapped in cotton peace And they so distant from the fray There, he held the birth of them Lost scents of hope and cradled dreams A mirage sent to cull the waste And tease that life's not as it seems Fleeting thoughts, semi-conscious stares Scanning years with longing sighs Searching back, too far, too deep Then coming round to realise That memories are not suffice To smooth the roughened edge of pain For all who fly the sky of life Shall kiss her sun and bear her rain |

So that is what you have been doing while you have been in absentia! ~ Reminiscing and writing a very fine poem about it!  Giving you a big, warm, welcome-back pip hug, EA  |

Osprey - "For all who fly the sky of Life shall kiss her Sun and bear her rain." So true and written from the pulse of the poet to the heart of the reader while stonewall dreaming. You did real good Osprey. Namyh |

"For all who fly the sky of life Shall kiss her sun and bear her rain" these 2 sentences are sufficient! Just beautiful! |
