the sky is gray and gloomy trees stand still, they cannot sway small birds chirp looking for their mum they also long for the brightness of the sun the scenic spots I usually perceive day and night am I now blind that they’re out of my sight the squirrels who give their biggest grin I think they’re all busy looking for the best cuisine looking at the ponds and lake outside they are so stagnant that no one likes to ride a sound of one cuckoo seems has a message to impart does it want to tell me that you’ll finally depart so now, as I lay down on my bed I close my eyes but dread creeps my head I just hope I only have a nightmare that my eyesight is lost or my vision is not clear again, I want to close my eyes for the second time hoping for another dream that tomorrow will be mine a dream full of hope and joys which will forever abide like in the past when you and I stayed together side by side

Hi Leo,,, my sweet and favorite all time soup poet... I love this poem from beginning to end this poem does all the little things right. the flow is excellent and the imagery is consistent and imposing. you have so easily passed on what you see to the reader this is a most excellent poem that shows off your deep talents. I am happy I got to read this one again.. This time making my comment from my computer. by the way...love the lovely light your eyes expose when in or out of a dream.... always & forever...LINDA

Hi..Leo... hope you got my mail.... and read my latest blog.. Missing you on the soup. I was feeling gloomy yesterday, but today has been a good day. about your poem: the way you pressed the image in my mind is outrageous. I can visualize the gray and gloomy moment, and the way you lead my smile 2 frown for you. wishing you to fall asleep just to dream this dream... always your sis... xox~PD
