If last night was portend Of beauty to be seen in skies That grow colder with each turn Of this wobbly earth on an axis We draw in our imagination Just as we draw our own faint images To mimic that which would Be beyond mortal capacity to capture Then I am filled with envy For those who see through un-jaded lenses. My own vision being colored red By the sting of cold against skin That would bring blood to my eyes In protest of such uncomfortable climes As the past has written in logs Average temp Precipitation Pressure bars All defined As the warmth I crave continues Decline Still the stars are brighter without such heat As might make comfort And when lightning would streak to win the race For dominance in heaven, Knowing that it nothing to compare to Summer’s cracking storms I am forced to see Even my blurred bias towards this season Is misplaced Perhaps as is my expectation Love should be more than tepid. |

We draw in our imagination Just as we draw our own faint images To mimic that which would Be beyond mortal capacity to capture Then I am filled with envy For those who see through un-jaded lenses. perhaps this is why we as mortals put limits on our mental abilities....if we didn't perhaps we'd see things like looking through a microscope magnified 1000 x's more. Meaning the beauty and ability is beyond our conception???? I dunno? But your words are most definately food for thought. Good good morning and thank you for writing and sharing your proverbial thoughts with us once again. Your incredible. smiles and hugs. |

Our masks tend to hinder us from some of the simplest things. This was great to read this morning. Crystal |

HUGSSSS.....

(sigh) The stratosphere and barometer are never everything when it comes to the weather, it is beyond all layers and surely the stars are all what those reports are missing! (big hugggsssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love this, 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 I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
