Stunning and so well-conceived: the imagery and metaphors are "out of this world"!! Great lines: "Tears of glass fall like serpent rain"; "Where we can reflect on our fabulous disaster Then dream some more and perhaps, map the metaphysical in the parliament of the sun". Wow! Outstanding! Iron fist in a velvet glove, sleight of hand like the Great Magician! Really like this, Paul! TY Kate xx

You know this does remind me of something that should be in a story about Merlin.

My Dear friend Paul,

Another one of your exceptional writes. A profound poem, giving much food for thought, how humanity believes that anything can be produced, but how often do things go beyond our control is there always an answer or cure? NO... how wrong humanity is, so full of misconceptions. Your third stanza is incredible, could those tears of glass be the test tubes in an imagianed alchemists laboratory?

Great write Paul, as always.

hugs and love
Elga

Dear Paul,
This is a magnificent creation. I read it a few times to fully grasp the message. Perhaps I stitched my own meaning into your words but I found it to be deeply philosophical, creative and incredibly expressive. Well done!
Love Chanti
