slight comma amendment 27 01 2012

For a time I've been writing as the stream idles by
as dust storms are rolling, across a faraway sky
while sheep are a'bleating; as the cattle lie low
as I'm writing I'm watching, the white falling snow
it drops down in silence, from the dark coloured sky
I feel distanced, from the home that I'm holding
here in my minds eye..!

Lonely, yet beautifully serene it seems. What was on your mind for this one Joe ...I wonder.

Hello F J, past times and nostalgia were part of my thoughts, and yet man ever craves that perfect time/place either past or future, that will not be is achievable however.. my conjecture is people realise heaven is the only place happiness exists yet cannot be there so always are searching.'

Oh those snow flakes, how their seemingly innocent little opaque faces can make one "feel distanced", Joe! They're quiet, but boy, can they wreck havoc! They had certainly stoked your own "EMBERLIGHT" with this write! Best wishes, Love, Mikki
