Insipid day why is your palette turned upside down in fall of sky that leaves no life in this breath exhaled from the lungs of yesterday? Is it your anger turned into charcoal grey that it might later smolder in heated night to scorch a careless touch? Or does God’s will deem those such as me who fare not well in states of grace, be denied the hues to understand the way of clouds or hearts? You are without while I am within Lacking brush fine and spectrum broad to paint vibrancies on tomorrow. |

Well. This is different from you. hmm...felt a bit more formal than I am accustomed to from your pen, but I enjoyed the switch of meter and style. You still have that somber tone of introspection, but as always you convey your theme with grace. A gentle write from a gentle poet. OH. And the subject matter made me smile, because your style DOES remind me of painting, in oils. You have the patience to layer slowly, and your work has the calm of an artist alone with his subject. I'll shaddup now. Good to see you, Cap. Enjoyed. |

The subtlety of this is to know the complexity of a heart... which you do...even when you say you don't. And still, you show us all of the nuances, and carry the weight away from us, so that we come in to read, once again know the poet has graced us, and then you leave us alone, with thoughts to ponder...and then we wait... for your return, once more. |

Enjoyed the heck out of this, my friend. Could be because I LIVE the heck out of it. |

'Or does God’s will deem those such as me who fare not well in states of grace, be denied the hues to understand the way of clouds or hearts? You are without while I am within Lacking brush fine and spectrum broad to paint vibrancies on tomorrow.' The sky will certainly clear and a flame may rise from the charcoal, tomorrow might even paint itself. If it does, you will have the words to color it in our minds. (Though I'm thinking that states of grace and understanding the ways of the heart are most likely mutually exclusive states)  |

Ron...Your pallet is the color of heart, not sky, though sky might wish to paint with as much heart as you. You're beautiful, my friend.  |

You just described a sizable chunk of my existence.... which I strive to repair but lack the tools to do it on my own. Maybe it's that this particular part of the picture can only be painted by someone else, no matter how well we paint the rest. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Rat Leader said it well. What an excellent write. If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

(Though I'm thinking that states of grace and understanding the ways of the heart are most likely mutually exclusive states) quoting DUNCAN here  Ron, you always hold a unique and beautiful paintbrush in your hand. |

  (big hugggssssss) I beg to differ; not one mere mortal is as artistically superior as Him but just because He provides the pallette to us doesn't mean we too can't be artists, and you are by far a great artist! (smiles) Yay, I love this, God Bless You and Happy Easter, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Ron, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton   And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. |

Indeed you are an artist and this is a profound poem, it's your finest and I'm saving it in my library. Have you considered submitting this for the book? If so, you definately have my vote. Take care, Melissa~ Intellectually I know that Canada is no better than any other country. Emotionally I KNOW that Canada is the best country in the world! |
