[In Em's Wonderland]

I'm waiting for a tumbleweed to float on by, while hearing the caws of crows or vultures. Like a desert land, now that I think of it...this reminds of a scene or two in the movie "Fival Goes West", the kids movie if you remember it. Haven't watched it in awhile, but remember it was one of my favorites.I also used to watch some old westerns with my dad. Always enjoy a good western!

[Pete]

seems like in all the old westerns there was someone just sitting with their feet up watching the world go by - usually right before the shooting started! thanks for the kind share.

Be it sun or rain, we seek refuge just the same.
Fine brevity and song choice.

[Pete]

indeed. fine thoughts and any friend of the music is a friend of mine. thanks for sharing ap.

[Ken Simm.]

This is saying to me that the atmospheric thought matters. The description of natural causes for philosophy. Excellent.

[Pete]

thank you. the depth of your thoughts is well appreciated.

Sixteen words says it all, although thought invited - thoughts on the run, Pete. More than thanks galore.

(as to the music! )

[Pete]

like running barefoot through a field, free to go wherever thoughts lead and heart demands. music resuscitates the soul and changes its diagnosis! happy tuesday em! spring is in early recoil!

[emmajoygreen]

Running barefoot.. I can't wait for better weather -, love, love to do that. As to the music - oh yes, , can dance barefooted too! Tuesday and week ahead happiness to you too, my friend.

Noting the state of repair here, and also the gentleman's posture, I'd say little matters to him.

[Pete]

doesn't really take much to obtain comfort if you know where to look! i should think that he would be concerned with that which is taking place over his head and beneath his feet. life can be simple, we complicate it. thanks for weighing in j.

beautiful poem Pete. The 3 line simplicity masks an almost bottomless pool of thoughts the mind can follow.

truly enjoyed the read

[Pete]

[Thomas W Case]

Tremendous work Pete. You bring this brevity to life.

[Pete]

Rain scorched, makes me think of when there has been an extremely long drought and the earth is so dried it’s crack. When it rains the water runs off because the parched earth can’t absorb it quickly enough with being so hardened. Covered porches indeed to make a good refuge from such down pours

[Pete]

yes, extremes. where and what do we turn to under such pressure out of our control for refuge. good and bad always seem to know what to do. do we?

[Poetic Beauty]

Many times we don’t know what to do
