Haruumph… life so far huh? well, there HAS been snow
- a bit. And a lil sun - on occasion. Rain by the bucket,
measurable cold and S H O P P I N G! Even window shopping is - IS -
allowed, if just to draw the eyes to the faces of others looking on in desire
and wish! Eating out is an adventure in affording and hopefully not
disappointing in reality. Reading is as always a diversion best left to
lightness and zombie apocalypses BUT music! Music holds thoughts of
sharing during the silences after. Hmmm… life - continues… the
alternative is unacceptable.
the older I get , the more I appreciate everything, the little things I never noticed are now wonderments to my eyes.My imagination dances to life's music and and i savour the moments instead of rushing through them; but of course we only do these things when we realize time is not on our side ..

We had snow and MORE snow and still MORE snow... on days when it was more than 40 degrees come evening these past weeks. The current storm track pattern missed us here - to both our south AND north... but the cold and wind remain as reminders. I STILL keep the shovel in the "mud room" hall.

yeppers... faster over all... better reach as well.
Just because you can all is possible f you want to- taking the first step to discover hidden wonders that weren’t so hidden after all it was us that was hiding not seeing not being seen unaware of the inner dream - wonderful words- live the way uve written it - and I ask what are your answers? 🌹
What a beautiful piece of magic, Chris. Feel as if we've just sat sitting across a table, catching up, learning anew.. thougths, ideas shared.. You start in a general way, looking at others, inviting them to share.. then come the final stanza, your vision's narrowd and you're in a perhaps reality where and when words become bolder yet, gentle as can be Magic.
Chris, your originality, skill and creativity are second to none. I absolutely love the title and introduction that set a worthy stage for the awe-inspiring free- verse that follows. Then- the musicality, the form and flow, the questions, the nuances, the invitation to dance “for me-because you can”- all beautifully terpsichorean. A delight to read and feel deeply.

Was good seeing you... and listening to your thoughts.
as I gaze over a fog-filled ridge and breathe in the freedom of the woods while sipping coffee, I have so much to remember and thank you for the beauty of this poem.
i taste the music, always...sometimes its flavor is love...and i feel i have definitely been the rain in the past...now a cloud full of memories...
heading into my sunset. and i always dance, because i can...and when i can't...i want to sit that one out forever.
this piece made me ask myself so much...introspection is needed at times.

Chris you've put into words here thought and questions similar to my own when I'm out, off the mountain and look at other people milling around "in public". Are these even thought and musings people make anymore? As my time goes by, less and less of these feelings are reflected in the eyes of passer-bys. Haruumph is possibly an understatement as so often I see that the "unacceptable" is more and more "acceptable"... terrific statement and observation here Chris, and well expressed.

I wish you had chosen to live nearer... I would have bought the coffee.
Questioning, that provokes introspection..
causing hearts to consider why and how they beat. thanks !
Am I for me, alone.. or is most of me for others.?
Not sure what "dance with a farire" means.. unless
it means to entertain a fantasy .. .. a lot of ideas there !
Must admit at this stage , I am constantly wondering what will be..
how will it be, will they be..? where will I be till.. .. .......
Luckily .I remember, dates, my SSN, Bank Account Numbers and such.. Ha .
Lovingly, and longingly and painfully I remember Little smiles, Little hugs, caring..LOVE
Sadly I remember deaths , abuse, frowns.. knockdowns , anger and even hate.
Sorry, I should be writing about YOU.... I get caught up in your words, thoughts
ideas.. and honesty .. you always take me away, and bring me back too !
Maybe Haruumph is a battle cry .. or the sound of a foot stomping
or a heart trying to start up again, and again ... ..
Perhaps it's a sound only made in silence .. or under still deep waters...
Thanks for being YOU, right out in the open ..lol.. for all to see and hear !
"Life is a terminal disease." All the doctors have basically told me so.
