Hi Michael my friend. You weave your metaphorical words to tunes I try to understand. I love the way you always make me think and it does take me a while to finally get the meaning. Sometimes I get there, others I don't. Whatever, it does not take away from the enjoyment.
I hope you are well, :) Jaq xx

Comment from Jumbo J
Hey Brother(((((((((((((((,
you know how much I love delving into the meanings behind your mind process... and the metaphorical twist you blend into your story... usually I'm just here reading-rereading and lingering in the moment.
'Jesus break my stone'... think that says it all... but stones turn to pebbles- pebbles to dust-dust to air... and so the cycle continues to our learning while the pain of our existence allows the truth of who we are shine through... you my Brother? Class act... you demonstrate it through your words and actions to be who you say you are... authentic, original and loyal, yes, friend, you're on track... the saying 'Life wasn't meant to be easy' teaches us our values and solidifies our code... loved your magic and loved the soul you injected with the music... big fan of Lisa Hunt... watched her magic for many a year... you know she's an honorary Aussie, right?
Keep the faith my Brother.
With our thoughts we create,
the purpose to knowledge,
James.

Hey Rick...-smile- thank you man- I was in the navy for a while. lot stuff happened that I'll always remember...but one for sure was crossing the bermuda triangle...big storm, though it was the fifth largest ship in the fleet, destroyer tender...big floating factory with both men and women aboard. anyway, I ah "found" myself Goldie Hawn stranded in the "bowels" of this beast...ah long story...but ah when I could , I would...often climb topside and disappear...for awhile in the vastness of deep sea, its scary you know...always, especially at first...finding yourself in the middle of so much. you "see" the insignificance of one life amongst so much. its scary when you first see that....and respected from then on. If you fell ...or jumped, or whatever....you're gone brother, no dout about it. the roar of the engines...are unheard in the roar of a worked up ocean...its mind numbing. Once....at night, its so dark topside...purposely...no artificial light...you cant see your hands, if someone where right in front of you ...you'd not know it by sight. anyway, in the middle of that storm, I was up there listening to Neil Young on head phones and smoking a joint...when the moonlight and my eyesight adjusted to way scary....this giant ship was so small Bro...I mean....when it would dip....I could reach out and touch walls made of ocean...and I did. not sleep well that night...-wink-....love Michael

Michael: your fabulous words continue to amaze and befuddle me. And, I have no idea where you come up with some of the music you play here. A mystery man; born of flesh and blood but a mind within its own jungle . . . take care. Linda (very soft thunder)

He's an Italian artist...very well known evidently...sought out by many artists here in the states i'm sure you'd know. He sings some in English...in fact this one...ah stevie ray vaughn plays lead in it.....I was going to use it....but I found this....and felt it more I guess...-smile- How are you...? Have you moved in with you're granddaughter yet...?....love you Thunder-
-
NO, I have not yet moved and I have paused in my packing. Some of the plans have changed like where we are moving to. Tayler (my granddaughter) has Friday off from work and will look for a place for us. Her four year relationship with the boyfriend is in a troublesome state, may be failing. But,
the entire situation will work itself out and then I'll know where I'm going, if anywhere! Thanks for asking, Michael.
Little bit 'o thunder.

There goes my Knight... I was starting to get worried. What else would I expect from you in the new but classic and raw, uncut poetry. How have you been? I have genuinely missed once of my dearest friend and mentor. I don't have any more gold to bless this with but you know this is a 10. Expectionally astounding. As usual your taste in music always expands my love for music.

Comment from AnnaLinda
Mike,
It's so great to see your poignant pen! How interesting that you say: "Jesus break my heart" and then later end: "Jesus break my stone" I believe you are speaking for all of us there...society.
"Just sands hurried from an hour glass" is an outstanding analogy.
"Rent veil divided in two" rings out to me.
I may not understand all of your meaning within this piece, but I certainly commend your voice and talent here. Interesting photo choice as well...
Linda

Let me help you out...most people are as touchy as you...hm hmm...its just that we dont take it out on everyone around us in such an obvious manner. for some its a learned process...but you dont seem to study snooker. so...if you cant control yourself and act like a half way decent human being...even when you dont feel like it. I will kindly asks you to refrain from any further desecration of my narcissistic need. Goodday to you sir-

Comment from Joan E.
Hello, stranger--welcome back and here's to a healthy and peaceful 2016! I hope I'm paying my dues for the rest of the year--I've been fighting a bad cold for a week.
The snarling picture you selected really established the mood for this dark poem. Your unrelenting scenes appear to surround us like the "spinning wind whiplash" and the repeats add to the intensity. Be well and stay well, my friend- Joan
