The Forest Green....

As early dawns sunlight, of golden glass.... Now drips from the ambient forest of green Showers of light reflected, from across the pond Gazing amid the cabins threshold; these love laced thoughts A nightingale lingering; singing atop the windows ledge Faraway whispers, from the preludings winds of time.... Ushering these images, beyond the corridores of ones soul Still waters resurgent; resplendent, upon the silverish blue Alluvions resillence, painted in criterion before my eyes Lavishly renewed colours, brushed gently this heart of mine.... Fireflies and butterflies, floating through the turquoise sky Melodies atop this brilliant canvas', carousels of life ~ But, as the pendulums gravities of truth sway inside my mind I find myself within a fortitude of ponder; fortified By the realization that not all is fairytales and or, ice cream rides.... Pestilence of plights befalling millions and who's wrong or right? Thus in the referendum of self, one must choose and decide The ways of justice, balanced upon the scales of conscious Betwixt the pabulums dividing lines of love and hate? And a poet writes.... Peering across the pond unto the other side Beautiful faces beautiful eyes, beautiful hearts and beautiful lives Red Robins sing and White Swans they fly ~ Embracing them all; this knowing; these treasures inside!? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ The forest green....

i too ponder the things on the other side. the desolation the povertyover there. the selfishness and the greed and exploiters over here. stealing what is beautiful from over there and bringing it over here. the diamonds and the gold. and now they want to dig on our soil, a hole so deep in the gulf deep enough to find liviathone. we too shall be devastated and starving. our land striped of it's food for the silence we kept while they ravaged the poor. we should change while the forest is still gr

"The artist of the beautiful." Nice work, John. AS regards "Opinion," it is just that, an opinion, which, unfortunately, is not shared by the vast majority of souls on this planet. Love, Dave

Dear John, thanks for remembering "John's Aramis." I can't believe you remembered it all this time. Of course, I'll never forget the scent. Men are still wearing it and when one passes by wearing Aramis, it always takes me back to a special warm place in my heart. Thank you, John. Love, Carolyn
