    A fog where a brain used to be
    wasting in the sludgeland called youth
    well trained by the father
    who owes nothing
    slivers of truth
    lay near
    Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty
    ~Albert Einstein

    Sleepkess nights
    Stole my dreams
    All i can see is real
    No illusions no fantasies
    Nothing to solace the heart
    Nothing but roof and walls
    Like someone trapped alive
    In a grave
    with eyes open.

    When asked how World War III would be fought, Einstein replied that he didn't know. But he knew how World War IV would be fought: With sticks and stones.

    there are worse things
    than being alone
    immersed in a susurrus
    solitude is not found

    hummingbirds dance upon rose
    buds thrust into the sun; sip from
    Queen Elizabeth's lips - Pines sway
    ever so lazily - a Monarch
    butterfly weaves binaural beats

    parting

    parting
    fresh sorrow
    love, honor, cherish
    alas, so bittersweet
    torment

    Pattern

    Dreams
    Encounters
    Smiles
    High spirits
    Living in the clouds
    Love
    Bliss!
    Bread and butter
    Butter and bread
    Bit bored
    Big boredom
    Tiffs
    Tears
    Tempests
    Separation
    Reconciliation?

    Encounters
    Smiles
    Dreams.

    Nice poem ! Yes, it's all cyclic in nature... I've experienced more than once.

    expectations / a tanka 57577

    my expectations
    bliss - becoming less and less
    unrealized dreams
    reality settles in
    worldliness gets in the way

    sleep

    I so love my sleep
    without so lost and withered
    it's such a deep thing
    and a short catnap as well
    when she cries I feel helpless

    Beautiful but sad!

    After a sleepless night

    Is
    the
    world
    made
    of
    cotton?

    One wonders.

    My poem offering later today at our poetry workshop: (Adult Nursery Rhyme)

    If All The World Were Poets

    If all the world were poets,
    And ink sold by the gallon,
    If all the stars were accessible,
    Where would we hang our hats ?

    If all the world were Legos,
    All colors of the rainbow,
    If we played as children play,
    Would there be any homeless ?

    If the world was more full:
    of colors
    of laughter
    of games and parties.

    If children learnt to gaze
    Into each otherīs eyes
    And didnīt sit side by side
    Each immersed in his own
    fra
    gi
    le
    world

    If everyone owned all homes
    And didnīt have his own
    Would there be less homeless?

    Itīs one old, old dream.
    But where did it go?
