Had a boil once. Didn't know you could freeze it. Seriously, a good rendition of thoughts that a frozen landscape can muster.

The poem is deep. You, sir are profoundly so.

In the profundity of a chilly universe

Froze a boil on the back of my neck, when I were a kid.

All looks lovely and peaceful on the exterior, yet beneath the surface a lot is happening.

Great images to blow my brain..

You speak of water, tonight I speak of land, together it would be interesting to see what we develop :-)

I loved this write. I enjoy the way your thoughts flow when you tune into nature and the universal ways.

Closer to our sun�s dynamic exterior
Closer to the womb of nature�s adventure

Love those two lines and how you separated the stanzas there. You are a true adventurer-philosopher. I especially like it when you draw on nature's imagery.

"Faith is a quest to remain alive
In the profundity of a chilly universe
In the depths of an all-consuming embrace '
Holds a massive power in this stanza.

I LIKE!!! Now, why can't I do that to ice??!! Must be because I am not living it; concentrating instead on the dead stuff and not the energy within and without. See what I mean? You always focus on liberation: hope and aspiration, spiralling upwards and not down. Walking on water here, Jude - both literally and metaphorically. WTG!! TY LOL K xx PS ??Title??: Makes me think of yuk rather than yum... pustules instead of 'puscles...

Sometimes that which we know to be commonplace becomes altered by our thoughts or perhaps by nature herself. The change can jar dusty thoughts from the archives of our memory. Reliving these thoughts is alot like taking a mind expanding drug (not that "I" would know what that was like ) in that it reawakens sensations and rearranges images in a way that bring us closer to our joys and our fears. Reality remains, but its alteration now remains as well. Another mind expanding moment brought to me by the pen of Robert Jude "Ace" Excellent writing.

Take care,

Sherry
