Sweet and chaste White mist of dawn Tinseled dew glaze Blades of grass.. The day comes undone A pastel embraced rush Beguiling farewell to The silence of sleep. Midnight stars lull To the sun-struck lilts of birds Chrysanthemum clouds offer the moon A ride home.. On lyrical wings, gossamer. A floral wind takes shape In the green of leaves Air fills with breath of flowers I breathe into my dreams Feeling the unfolding of my soul I see your face draped by smiles Your smile warmer than the morning sun.
Very lovely, this has ‘atmosphere’, ambiance 🙂

It’s my chosen profession, you see.
Being a free-range anthropologist
(not a tourist), sweet Yassy.
It’s a job most dirty, but someone
must do it. I’ll let you know if there’s
a vacancy. For all you need is some
flair for poetry, Which you have in
ample abundancy 💛😎

Oh, this poem is so beautifully penned, Yassy, the force of nature that shapes our human existence, the role of the moon as the image of our dreams. Love this:
“Chrysanthemum clouds offer the moon
A ride home..”
I need these clouds to give the moon of my broken summer dreams a ride home too. I, too, need to breathe into my dreams no matter how sad I feel now. For me October 1, 2017 and October 14, 2019, will mark and are marking turning points in the history of Catalonia and Spain. How can the Spanish state send the police to beat up peaceful protesters, prosecute people for their ideas, imprison them and sentence innocent people to jail. In just one week, four people have lost one eye, each person, because of rubber balls shot by the Spanish police. I never thought this would happen. I believed Spain was a solid democracy, but no, the regime is turning more authoritarian each day. Our Catalan-Spanish conflict will never be resolved judicialising a political issue. We need international help, mediation. Please, watch this video and make it known to every one. We are not violent, we are not terrorists. It is the Spanish state that is constantly fabricating fake news. This is the truth: https://youtu.be/c04kj0nX688

But, please, do not believe those that are saying we are violent, because we are not. There might be a minority of us, sure, but not the majority. The main violence comes from the police forces.

Politics is powerful, you realize that, don’t you. It’s not easy for the righteous to win. I don’t mean to be pessimistic but the bad guys always win. That is the state of the world and most countries are suffering . Well, at hear tears are our own and we can unburden our hearts and minds. But you must not lose heart. I think you are most brave to be able to talk about it.
