Morning has broken the still of the night and brought in the pain, anguish, and strife wrapped in a parcel of gorgeous sunlight and bound with the string of merry bird songs. And that gypsy well known for lonely vigils invites them all in for friendly debate in attempts to discern the merit and worth of this strange and peculiar phenomenon. She serves up her best from stores of wisdom and lays small-talk on a china platter but greeted by silence that gypsy resolves to not ever again be a hostess of note. She can’t entertain a group of strangers that simply have nothing in common but after the chore of clearing away she’s left with a beautiful day – and she’ll do it again and again, again, because the effort is worth the outcome!

Inviting our demons in for a chat doesn't seem to be a productive situation . . . After saying that I used to do it quite regularly. ~*~ I want to hear a Jim Croce song, but it will cut too deep, be too real. ~*~ |

No good ignoring them, Jerry, but put them together with the other things and then show them the door. Works for me. ![]() |

"of this strange and peculiar phenomenon" I seem to have missed it . . . |

Krawdad - Thanks for the read. Clear blue skies and singing birds together with pain, anguish and strife a pretty strange mix it seems to me. Sometimes we humans must go through the process of "entertaining" all and everything in our lives to end up with a beautiful day. That's the essence of the story. |

I get it. Seems normal to me. I didn't think of it as a strange and peculiar phenomenon. I was looking for something else. |

I like how the pain, and strife of living is wrapped in a parcel of sunlight. It brought to mind that in life we experience both the good and the bad, the joy and the pain. Enjoyed your poem. take care, Kerri |

there's a sweet universal sadness but it is uplifting to persevere and see the glory of the new day, each day, warm wise and wonderful |
