Hello hh - Be it good or bad there will always be a new or rotating phase. Your words are vivid as always and as always you make us readers pause... Remain safe and may this day find you well. May any phase be for the good...

Global warming is bound to bring many changes along with it; that ailing ice could cause many problems in the not too far future. ~ Regards // paul

Good Morning Harry, hope you are fine this morning. I wanted to stop by yesterday, but I left to quick. You are definitely one of the poets I seek when I randomly decide to pop in. Can I please compare myself with your haiku. I'm actually going through something right now. However, I'm on another phase. I pray the numbness goes away. I like the imagery of a warm sea. The line here is beautiful. Always a pleasure to stop by. Forever A Fan ~LINDA~
