Hi Paul, as always, your words sing most beautiful visions. Reading this work i find a deep piece. I do believe that we shall be able to return to the places we loved in life. The picture does compliment your wonderful words superbly. Moments sung so gently through poetic words. Finding peace in the vision. Have a wonderful Thursday. Your friend always....Mike.

I love the serene spirituality of this breathtaking write Paul. Your stunning words beautifully portray someone whose spirit returns to a place she still loves and loved dearly during her physical life on Earth. Enchanting imagery that is alive with sights, sounds and feelings.. Your last line is gorgeous. Warmest wishes ~Susan

Grrrrr...I know what it's like, Andrea!! I'm going to ask Soup if it's possible to have something similar to Twitter, where a colored sign enables you to distinguish between un/read. Regards // paul

oh wow, I LOVE how you put that last line there. That really tied it up beautifully. Also the picture is fantastic. This could perhaps be modified to a cinquain for that one contest if you never did it yet? Let me go see if I can find a cinquain by you.

What I love about your poetry Paul is how much you can say with such few words. I am stuck always using too many words. I envy your talent.

what wonderful imagery this really appeals to the senses Paul :-) I can relate big time to this Paul as a few years back we went back to a playground where we used to take our son and had fun on the swings and other kiddies play equipment lol - you are never too old to have fun!:-) hugs Jan

Thank you, Jan. I too have been guilty of going on swings, using Valentina as an excuse :) I hoped to use the wind as an accomplice so that the swing moves but nobody is visible to human eye...perhaps a ghost that keeps returning to its past!! Hugs // paul
