WHY

in this far away up-down world

there are faint sounds of a guitar

beckoning touches 'pon its neck..

where are the blues in 

my lack-lustre dream

star-gazing a crazed ocean crossing? 

in this far away up-down world

there is faint echo of distant drums

encircling a near mournful old moon.. 

where are the blues in

a palette of red, 

amber an' green - nowhere?

in this far away up-down world

there is the glorious sound of a word

kissing kaleidoscopic letters..

gold edged invitations

mailed into space, hope stamped

love scent -  muchly!

What is this up and down world? is it a dream? where are we going? You take us a an amazing journey of star gazing...a trip to the old moon, distant drums coming from nowhere....I love the mention of the colors...are hey mixed together to make a kaleidoscope?? a letter of hues sent somewhere in the cosmos....
Beautiful Em...
Hugs, B

I meant to put 'quiet'

[Ken Simm.]

Why?
Because there is no such thing as a destination. It is the journey through everything that takes us towards a completion never achieved. Although I have to say this comes as damn close as anything I have yet seen in this up and down world. And having said that no such thing as a destination in whichever direction, up down or sideways that we take.. Wonderful stuff Emma.

You, Ken, have known me longer than anyone else in the cafe.. (a century>!), thus and so, you know how I often see and have seen our world, the way it swallows its pride now and again or.. waves to its errors and says, 'what the hell, lets go with it'! Your review is a gift.

Why? Because, in this far away, up down world words are the vehicle of choice to express over the distances where our thoughts, hope's and dreams, fears and worries, successes and wins, taste in music and gardens reside. It is how we say what longs to be said, it is how we are...that is why. Amazing poetry from across the ocean.
