Love this Tom. Music has always spoke to me too. From the womb, finding you. Such a beautiful visual. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you Rose, Don, and Adam. I appreciate you reading and your feedback. Silence is like our health, something we take for granted until it goes away. Then it’s all we can think about until we get it back. With all the noise of our day, I bask in stretches of silence. It revives me!

Tell her...or keep it in as long as you can stand it. I waited 10 years before I told my best friend how I felt about her. I had reached the point where the heartache of keeping it in was killing me more than the risk of rejection/loss. My “Fuck Fear” blog entry recounts the moment I decided to go for it! ?

Keith,
Absolutely beautiful. I find language to be wonderful. We do all speak the same language and all one has to do is listen to understand. Music is the heart and soul of our beings. From the first 'human' to bang a stick on a log. It speaks and connects like no other. Thank you for sharing this.

Hi Vautaw, thanks so much for your comment on Fingerprints. I've only been on the receiving end of a poem once (as far as I know) and it's quite a special feeling. ? Tx

Got a laugh from me on this one, Andrew! I think we all can relate to the dreaded "porta-potties" as we call them in the states.

The end of the rainbow
At the end of the rainbow there is a pot full of hope,
Head for it swiftly if you have a problem to cope.
Let the sun in your life shine bright,
The end of the rainbow will put things right.
Inspired by your poem full of hope

Forcing my writing to come to an end

I believe you’re right, Greg. I got confused with the one about the world being a great big onion. And thanks for the “Like” back in 2017.
I find the concept of “Young, Gifted and Black” awkward also. How would it sound if it was “Young, Gifted and White”? Mmmmm.

Point of information, John, from an old fart ... I believe 'Young, Gifted and Black' was by Bob and Marcia, not Blue Mink. I found the latter very difficult to listen to.

Yes, you are different
Yes, at times strange
But no, you're not crazy
Just little off-range
By that do you mean
Outside of the square
Outside of the ballpark
Out there somewhere?
We're looking, but can't see you?....
You're looking in the wrong direction.....

Thanks for your thoughts, Martin. Yes, I realised Wolfgar’s fate after I had posted my comment. I have some way to go to catch him up it seems.
The moderation process does seem shrouded in a kind of Masonic black-balling secrecy so at odds with its otherwise laudable service.
FYI as they say, “Old Racist and Thick” was a parody of Blue Mink’s “Young Gifted and Black” and was about an academic analysis of the demography of Leave voters.
You kind of suspect political intolerance, even censorship.
I’d be happy to email it to you if you’re bothered.

On maybe a related theme. Advice was given to a politician about what should they tell the people.? The advice was be open and honest because when things do come unstuck (as they always will) people will accept and compromise for you. I think this applies in any situation....
