View from the window: Calm


Although the lake wasn’t there the other day!
My Mansion’s at it again…

A Surreal Mind
Living in a surreal world means I can visit the impossible
Things I see vary between the very real and improbable
Some of the things I come across are utterly laughable
But not yet have I experienced anything unimaginable
The mind can take us to places in a manner that’s methodical
Finding answers to queries we first thought unsolvable
Filling in the blanks, incorrectly, is sometimes typical
Yet the power of the mind I find is completely phenomenal

    I couldn’t agree more, Sir Aquatom, hear hear!! methinks the mind is a wonderful gateway to the unknown, just keep it fed and watered and you never know what can happen… (are you planning any paddling in t’lake? ’tis gloriously sunny here,… ) … xPenx

      I may take a paddle later, Lady P… if it’s still there, that is; I’ve lots to do this bank holiday Monday afternoon!
      Should really have done it this morning, but I felt like snoozing!!!

    Never a dull moment at the mansion, then again, never a dull moment anywhere, anytime, if we keep our imaginations alive and well. There are no limits, we are free….Thanks TL…VK

    Not only does the lake look surreal, it looks bottomless. Inviting yes, but deep and dangerous if you’re not careful.

    Deep thoughts, too, Tom, delivered in the poem.

      Nice and refreshing but best not to go too deep, Tess? I can imagine swimming far better than I can actually do it anyway! 😀

      It feels that way at times, Hook.
      I remember the House of Mystery comic book from the late seventies… but don’t think I ever read any…

    You’ve got quite an inspired view, Tom. When I look out the window, all I’m trying to figure out is whether or not I need to pack an umbrella.

      We haven’t needed an umbrella the past few days, LA… it’s been glorious sunshine all over the weekend.
      However, umbrellas will be needed later in the week. There’s always something to put a dampener on things, isn’t there!

        That’s very true, Tom — and my mind shot straight to that #1 and #2 dampeners: death and taxes.
