Dale (and Shona),

On reading your last post I started to think what to say back in response
and continue our talk. I realised you can already find out a bit about
how I think from the posts on this forum, so I sat back and allowed a 
figure to emerge .... and thought to offer you this poem

Blue Skys

The blue sky of childhood
Restores my soul,
Sheltered in sunlight,
Touched by sea breezes
Moving in the leaves.

Is choice so valued 
In the Harmony of all things
That the abuse of Innocence
Is a consequence?
The soft eyes
Show the pain
Of knowing Good and evil
At home,
In the storm of the Holocaust,
Seemingly forever.
It is this Age
Which says that God is dead.

The morning1s comfort
Is found in the gentle silence
As sunlight warms the wooden floor.
Somehow I am blessed
By the eternity of the mundane
A gentle breath of innocence
Pervading all things.
