    The real culprit in the matter

    Walking alone one windless June night
    fear looked at the clock and asked,
    "So, was there love or no love,
    and what or who is to blame?"

    Ah - Indifference.
    Though born of love,
    it has no lover, circling slowly,
    patiently with dull eyes,
    peering below at the growing
    empty spaces between words,
    then plunging down

    scattering swirls of feathers,
    leaving hope bewildered and blinking back
    a million tears of rain falling on the
    upturned face of the sea.

    But so you emerge with quiet eyes and
    draw the curtains to a rain fresh morning and
    the surf smooths out the new pages of white sands.
    And the soft roar of the day
    begins.

    Enjoyed that poem a lot, Tony!

    So many phrases that are brilliant. I mean that. BRILLIANT.
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
