Thanks. I’m glad you have that memory, one that makes the past much sweeter.

Oh, I understand. Sometimes a kid’s just gotta do what a kid’s gonna do. And it’s always worth it — especially when you look back at it from the distant now, and realize how much more we had then. I have to think I knew it then, or I wouldn’t have done it. The only way it could last was in my memory.

Live in a building where they have locked the roof. But I would gaze out the window and dream. Lived on the top floor.

What a shame. I suggest you move to someplace with a roof. Or maybe just find a friend with a roof. Of course, you can always go to the country and find a hill with a good view of the sky. Or vacation in New Mexico or Utah, or some similar “Outside.”

hello dearest poet I feel the plight of humanity in and on my own body…we are not all so blind and unfeeling… great write ❤️

Thanks for the nice comment, but I’m uncertain of just how you “feel the plight of humanity on your body.” Tattoos? Scars? Burns? Something else? I’m insanely curious.

hello yes I have constant internal torure about the plight of humanity I cry when I see the homelss I pray God makes it warner for them and if they need drugs to give it to them…I feel their pain I’m schizophrenic and have been homeless in the past…we are all connected we all feel the despair some are just better at blocking it out…

That’s very interesting — and scary. It must be very difficult to live this way. I wish you peace and thank you for sharing.

Thank you, M. It’s funny, but I think of that time often, up on that roof. I can still feel the scratchiness of those asphalt shingles and smell the honeysuckle wafting up from our back yard. Wondrous times, wondrous nights.

Wow! From the roof, gazing at stars and beauty, to gazing at minds and blackness. I love it. I am still gathering material to my “roof” poem. I enjoyed reading your roof poem. Well done, FD “)

Thanks, M.E., I look forward to reading more of you — and your “roof” poem, when it comes.

I have always seen fog as a kind of veil, wrapped around secrets and mysteries. Now I know that it can also be a good hiding place for evil spirits. My confidence is shattered. 😉 the repetition of out of the Fog! is masterfully spooky!
A magnificent piece, my friend!-

I live near the bay and my neighborhood is one of the 1st areas to witness the fog rolling in. It’s quite eerie and intriguing. This is a classic film. Check it out when you have some time. Thanks Elke. xoxo

I was way too chicken to get on top of any roof. lol
But I would lay on a trampoline at night which was so cool.
Mostly because it felt like I was floating while gazing at the sky. Night or day. Didn’t matter.
A nice escape – good for adults and kids.
We all need them to stop thinking about reality sometimes.
