RE: SPECIAL PEOPLE.
Yes, Niah there are special people in this world and they a rare to meet. Nice written piece.Read your comment about the storm you went through, glad you are safe.
Here in Florida, hurricanes are constant. Lightning here in Tampa is ever going, it is said to be the Capital City of lightning. I live on the 8th Floor so when that happens is very scary seeing the voltage power in the sky just meters away from your window. SM

RE: Shadows of Frost
how do you describe to a blind person the colors when the sun's rays caress ice and snow crystals ?RE: 2023

RE: Aging
Aging is a must, and does have a few benefits. However, if I had a choice, I'd either slow it down significantly or abstain altogether.
Thanks for sharing.
RE: Aging
I'm in denial.
RE: 2023
Unless those activities are part of your job, then that's a lot of wasted time.It might be very hard for you to date as the gadgets will get the attention.
Lonely people become complacent with solitaire activities.
Respect you? Respect me, too.
Thanks for you thoughtful comments, Yankee. They are much appreciated, and I'm glad my poem resonates with you.
RE: Red Hat
I met a girl on the East Dubuque bridge on the Mississippi River in 1988. It was fun for about a month or so, then she dumped me, luckily for her she still had two other boyfriends to keep her company.
RE: Respect you? Respect me, too.
Aretha Franklin has a song called Respect, "All I'm asking is for a little respect."RE: Special Friend
A true friend is hard to find. I have two right now, I had as much as three at various times in my life. The one I have I see every day, the other I see only once or twice a year, so far no visits this year, but I do get phone calls about every day.
RE: you
Oh, gosh, how to say how this work sounds? Well, here's my interpretation: This work brings to mind the poem (often read at funerals and graveside services) "Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep, I am not there I do not sleep". The rhythm and cadence is very much the same.I like this work very much!
RE: Red Hat
Shake, Rattle, and Roll ...... brother!

SPECIAL PEOPLE.
Southmaimi....thank you for your kind words, and I can imagine how scary that lightening would be.After watching the tall trees that edge my garden by the road sway, in what seemed like several direction at once, some branches dangled , before dropping, and even my cat seemed to know, not to venture underneath.
Today a specialist will come to see how they can be tidied, though I think a very tall silver birch, might need to be drastically topped. At least mine didn't topple as many did locally, and of course an area several hours drive away, is still like a war zone, so we were very lucky locally....Niah
