The Blue Pool
A young man sipped limoncello, in a bar in the village square,
He was lonely and heartbroken, you would often find him there,

Supposedly, if we look deep enough inside ourselves we’re bound to find the answers that haunt us. I for one have never had much luck with that. All I find are more questions and a murky shadow.

A lot of us find shadows instead of answers when we look inward. Your comment captures that feeling well, Tim.

Read MoreThe warning didn’t comewith sirens or lights. It came quietly,a shift in the air,a stillness settlinglike dust before a storm. The horses grew restless,pacing the fence line,ears toward somethingI could not yet see. Even the cowslifted their heads,watching the horizonas if it...

Thank you, Fia. Those kinds of storms leave their own mark, don’t they?

Animals have that sense about them we don’t. You’ll often see cats and dogs react moments before an earthquake. Great picture and poem here.
