somewhere on a blue planet....
filou
totally blue heaven
When the evening will call
and the evening is night
I Hurry to my blue Heaven
a turn to the right
a little white light
will lead you to my blue Heaven

couldn't find the Harry Connick jr version but I hought the illustration is in perfect harmony....and charleston s'il vous plaît-
G, 'perfect harmony' is absolutely right, a Great choice!
struggled to find anything for the 'Where I Am' series, still too concerned with the thorny issue of 'Where Am I?'
still feel akin to Atwood's Susanna Moodie in Disembarking at Quebec when she says:
"...is it my own lack
of conviction which makes
these vistas of desolation,
long hills, the swamps, the barren sand, the glare
of sun on the bone-white
driftlogs, omens of winter,
the moon alien in day-
time a thin refusal
The others leap, shout
Freedom!
The moving water will not show me
my reflection.
The rocks ignore.
I am a word
in a foreign language"
The blue planet
lights up
cold, its clear
articulation
in the air...
File--Wonderful day to post this. Before seeing it, as dawn came, the song in my head was "Winter in America..." (Gil Scott-Heron). Amend that to "Winter in North America,"then. A lovely piece of poetic timing, posted by a poet on what is down here (south of the border) allegedly a momentous day for a presumable New Dawn.
(And on that note my friend, let me save a trip by offering here many thanks for your kind response to BTP's delayed-reaction Election/Inauguration Day poem at the bottom of the comments on the Where I Am/"A Meditation Outside the Fertile Grounds" thread...onward then into the wild blue yonder, with held breath and crossed fingers, yet hopefully together...)
yes Zeph! "From a long, long time ago in a galaxy far, far away..."
you're welcome btp, it's an amazing piece well worth the trip for other Others.
Ever "onward into the wild blue yonder" however difficult it is to see underwater.I share your hope for many new dawns and that Mamma Oh Bama might lead her chickens to a brand new day...
ps/ just listened to Yo-Yo Ma's inauguration composition ... how beautiful it is, how prescient it may be, replete with echoes of "Dance then wherever you may be, I am the Lord of the Dance, said He"
Brrrrrrr
