Octobers’ winds have left their mark Upon my cold and bitten skin The tempest on the high seas roar But I am warm and safe within At peace I sit within my room My thoughts are racing back to you The walls encase me like a tomb To sit and dream is what I’ll do The raindrops on the window pain Running tears of stranded souls Who never will return …..again To taste the warmth of home fire coals The sailor who is lost at sea And lashed against the bending mast His family no more a thing for he Whose life is to the seabed cast Some poor souls accursed by bars A chain and key their only clock How’d they like to touch the stars? Or sit beside the deep calm loch The soldier fights the lonely war Blood and deaths the victories gain The futility of what…….. he saw His solitude adds to the pain The destitute upon life’s way In cardboard bed and dirty clothes What he’d give for warmth this day To give up on this life he ..Loathes It is quite true as I sit here Alone and cut off from what I love Its would be easy now to shed a tear And wear my sadness like a glove But a joy not dread fills up my mind You see your memory sings to me There are so few people of your kind And with this thought my heart is free When the day is here I’d quickly dive Would swim the seas of roaring foam For only then will I feel alive When I am there with you ………at home Jon Mewett a brief visit..............back soon JM |

Jon, when you write like this...as I read, I think, how could he know all this, yet in all this he knows. This is the type I prefer to read with my coffee on the porch swing. Well, if you haven't guessed, I think this is GREAT!! Wonderful writing and did you have a sip of tea or two? Marcy |

This is lovely, as always, Jon. Glad you popped in for a visit. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

You are very expressive, showing the lonely souls on both ends, while safe with the one you love. Like it. |

Jon, This is a terrific view of lives spent and misspent in the folly of LIFE and those things which seperate us from the things we love. I like your attitude to rejoice in your treasured memories rather than pity yourself for something that you didn't posess right now! YOU are a Master story teller, my friend!

Dear Jon; you are missed here at the pub. This poem, so beautifully written, so conveys your loneliness for home on your trip to England and your profound gratitude for the gifts of home and hearth that God has given you.
