This may change...though I should doubt it. Oh, and Happy New Year to all in appreciation for always such my inspiration

There commands no sword unspoken

a land less traveled as before demands us

though we may bear such scars from God 

your robe upon the floor 

abandons

Make not the arrow as

our reverence demands,

when chalice fills us nightly 

questions come to tongue become quite certain

as we sow ourselves through time 

Should I

not seeing your eyes beneath me

understand the cause

or should these hands as vessels do

meet their curiosity as well

Let us wake from Rome together

both apple as lash stares upon our sill

and yet we are still as paint, wet and inclined

defined as no tomorrow 

and how it gathers us in mind by question

inch by length through mile 

to fondle marked as twain 

in depth of mystery

Hello, long-known wandering solitary mortal and poet! As ever you write a tale within words that flow time and place, cleverly laid, ripe and ready, ' how it gathers us in mind by question - inch by length through mile - to fondle marked as twain - in depth of mystery. Beautiful video, song unknown to ignorant me!

Hello, long-known painter of words as well. Appreciation and wishes for a prosperous and wonderful New Year. You get so many reviews I find it kinder to read and think only more would almost break your need for time so I will be a reader and perhaps a word or two although I just tried but unable so, no worries, you must be winnowing the chaff from the grain ...know that I do read and congrats on such a long history and success here...appreciated so best wishes for 2025! As for the song, well I would only assume being younger and of another country you may have missed but quite a beautiful song I do agree. As always, best in life and poetry for this coming year~

May I ECHO your final words to me, Joe, please.

Have made a large message about that song i my brand new journal. Will WATCH and listen to it very, very often - I see those beautiful creatures leaping for joy; the lyrics there to HEAR! Many thank yous.

"Paciano" if you don't mind, translates into "Peace" or " An ocean of Peace". "Joe " is the middle name used mainly for easing the burden of pronouncing Paciano, longer friends have earned the burden so surely by now? Take care and agree on both song and video and yes, of course you may ECHO, appreciated Emma~ ~
