To me, these sound like lyrics lookin’ for home inside a song,

Sung by a voice who feels them

In the heart, where they belong.

My thought too as I was reading... This needs to be a song.

I have a feeling that Stone is so talented that if someone put a guitar in his lap he would nail it on the first take.

Ha! Is that so? What a great way to be thought of!

Stone and I are just beginning to get to know one another on here. I have no doubt I’ll soon be agreeing with you, Deb! ✨

Oh mercy LOL While I appreciate the very gracious sentiment, and while I may do okay with the words, I am NO musician ;-) That is a singular, unique talent - one for which I have far too much respect - that I have never mastered.

I'll just stick to scratching out written letters, and let the experts take care of the musical notes :-D

Well...it was just a feeling. It's not like I'm in any position to hand out recording contracts. You DO generate a positive feeling. ❤

Definitely needs a melody. That’s a song.

Thank you very much, Jenn - I definitely made efforts to write poetry with a lyrical bent. Happy that came through for you... <3

I’m not sure that

home’s a solid place.

Perhaps the thought of it

provides a trace

of solace,

a momentarily resting,

where cumulus gauze

engulfs

before life’s breezes

move is on.

I loved that poem and it reminded me of this song:

This is the sea by the Waterboys

They are a very popular band in the UK. Formed from travelling musicians who worked all the festivals, their music is very raw but skilful. Another track I love is You Saw the Whole of the Moon by the Waterboys. If you liked the first song, find this one.... xx

Wow Stone, that is like old sentiments that had been laid to rest (mine, mind you) have stirred, been re-awakened.

Like

‘Time flows further

Westwards, to sea,

What soon would be

was future then

and is now past.

The tide is rising

Time flows fast’
