Knows lonesome well enough to sing it down.

This Night Vision is a very good vision over life...most realistic down to earth...the fragile glass and the gray music relate to old age and the past memories...the sweet sound- the reflective satisfaction the mind derives from bygone days and sadness- of course- never to come back those days... An artful imaginative write, Sandra...I like this poem very much the way I read 10+

You have certainly warmed my soul with this one. You have again made a sweet sound on my old roof. Two attempts I have made with nature's annual cycle are 'October' and 'Beyond October.' You have reminded me 'We cannot call back distant August Days'...'And yet...' Much Thanks For This One Tom

In your poems I always feel how beauty and sadness merge to create a melancholy mood that touches the soul. Thank you for that, Magda

Music, vision and mood - all delicately entwined in this reflective and soulful write. 'Let rain forever make gray music' - your word paintings never cease to colour the canvas of my mind Sandra. Loved it. Justine x

It is always amazing how you can fold mood, image, and sound together. One might almost touch the windowpane, to feel as well as hear the gray music. The August goldenrods are never lost, perhaps; memories pervade this poem. - Will

I love the sad music you play elegantly. One could visit it on a rainy grey day and find a true friend to commiserate with, Uriah
