Far out on the bay, cloud and water mix in a weighted sadness way past the reach of where my words can go and yet finds reflection in your eyes the same as that which often carries a sorrow to tint the light of a setting sun. It is the look that comes upon a soul ensconced within the walls of its familiar abode, forever compelled towards a window to cast a longing gaze into a distant nowhere as if there was its home.

a slightly somber poem but was effective in its reflective nature. How often I gaze out my window for a long time into that 'distant nowhere' you mention...the lingering would make one think it was home. Brilliant, Paul!!! Faving it. Sara

Pleased that you identified with feeling described....rather a difficult one to nail in words as it is colored by sensing that which cannot be grasped. Thankyou Sara...again.

This is melancholy and makes me think of watching the sun fade, and thinking how it mirrors life... sometimes.
