"I see as far as I can think." That's a perfect line that I'll not forget. Thank you Joseph. Excellent.

Wood smoke .. a sure sign that winter is here. This poem evoked so many memories of living in snow country and the smells and chills of the season.

Beautiful. I like walking at night, this way the dark hides my tears. 🩵

I enjoyed the speaker wondering why the air smelled like jasmine rather than jumping to smoke. It made the whole poem believable for me.

Very very nice, Joseph, all around. Amber glow. Soft. Nostalgia for the days before LED glare everywhere. Long live amber glow!
