Joe,
If this is one of your favorite trees, I can easily understand why have I been attracted to you that much.
I have learned in Psychology, beside other things, how important is the choice of paintings and drownings to understand or recognize (read), personality and all characteristics of one man.
What am I reading here?
You were an adult child, and now you are child adult. Ah, language! Hope, this make any sense in English :) ...
I was afraid you won`t have time to make a visit. Your absence could really cease my joy and happiness.
This morning I started with poetic posts, and I will continue this way, praising one of your poems (again snitched from Sara Blow`s forum Poet for The Month of May )
The Truth Beyond Obscurity
From long ago, a time hard to remember,
Thoughts appear as shadows and dreams.
The fog is heavy keeping everything a blur,
Yet still a few escape through the murky seams.
Dashing through the wisps of gray,
I can sometimes see a galloping white horse.
Disappearing along the path of a golden ray,
Through the meadow of space towards it's course.
The behemoth mist sometimes will reveal,
Glimpses of honor, respect and of the wise.
And one rare moment, there was a great shield!
Mostly it seems everyone wears a disguise.
Sometimes pearcing the thick great darkness,
Voices can be heard speaking of unknown things
Sounding as though it is a time to confess
Of matters of which only is spoken to Kings.
There are times when nothing seems to appear
From the depths beyond this bleary curtain,
Because of the noise from outside the internal sphere.
"Silence!" is commanded by the voice of which spoke the creation.
Moments of meandering whispers of nurturing vibes
Can be heard by my warm and receptive heart.
Ah, the blessings of which words cannot describe
With a power that one never desires from to be apart!
There must be a reason to have all these thoughts
Just beyond the grasp inside the opague haze,
Quietly I search for the things apparently sought
My awareness sending out a life giving praise!

Joe, I am pretty sure you are not aware how great poem this is! And look, I am not speaking from Branka`s point of view ! I have less hair on my head, and it`s easy to check if this is really my own head :) ...
I think Celestial Stars will become jealous on you :). This short life time, you already have received so much love,admiration and praises ... But you deserve all this...and more.
WISH YOU TO HAVE A GREAT TIME AT LAS VEGAS AND ... HURRY UP BACK!
BUDDY HUGS BACK TO YOU!!!
