A Sam Scott poem:

Listen to poem:

The landscape has been clouded by dust The skyline vanishes as the definition Between the hope of sky And the dismal reality of the ground Pervades and creeps The red luscious heart Is tempered, not fully destroyed Shadows creep in the debris Thoughts of that past life Flickering in the enforced dusk Memories of suburbia Laughing, chatting, walking Discussing nothing Meaning everything Breathing in the freshest air No dogs barking now Some humans weeping We have some work to do Time may still be on our side In the process of utopian restoration

'Thoughts of that past life' - reminds of the words of a song 'all so simple then' perhaps? Just saw a plane skimming some chimneys! Thanks for sharing ...

"Like the corners of my mind.." I know the one Patricia :) Poetry has to be an outlet for genuine emotion, no? Quite often it saves our sanity. Thanks for allowing me the privelege of entering into your consciousness.. :))
