a small contraction
in the heart, a numbed look tells
me all I require
a small contraction
in the heart, a numbed look tells
me all I require
me, all I require:
requirements requited.
He gives moon mountains.
"Don't matter who they are, anybody sets foot in this house, they are company and don't let me catch you remarking on their ways like you were so high and mighty."
He gives moon mountains,
in return asks for our nights -
for nightly homage
For nightly homage
to our fallen defenders;
barn owl cries all night.
Barn owl cries all night
the air is full of suff'ring
still, still little one.
p.s. I like the commentaries by you, Bluemauvey! We've got some good stuff goin' on here!
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

Peace will come one of these days
then you won't shed tears
"O reason, reason, abstract phantom of the waking state, I had already expelled you from my dreams, now I have reached a point where those dreams are about to become fused with apparent realities: now there is only room here for myself. "
-Louis Aragon
then you won't shed tears
over the winter break that
yields ten bumbling bums
yields ten bumbling bums—
and four and twenty beggars—
knocking on my door…
knocking on my door—
peeping in my kitchen window—
looking for handouts…
looking for handouts,
thirty four sturdy hobos—
I am now besieged!
I am now besieged
but softhearted , bit foolish?
guys, the soup is on!
guys, the soup is on—
thirty-four dirty men rejoice—
best meal in a week!
Some of us laugh
Some of us cry
Some of us smoke
Some of us lie
But it's all just the way
that we cope with our lives...
That was fantastic, Pendragon, thanks for your whimsy!** standing ovation **
Best meal in a week
the sated stomach agreed
time now for a nap
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
time now for a nap,
Recover from weary life;
Renewal in stars.
That whimsy was great Penn!
I love it; I can picture the scene perfectly in my mind with the soup served in old cans....was it "stone" soup?...you must have heard that story before? My mom always told us that one when we were kids.
"It's so mysterious, the land of tears."
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Renewal in stars,
dreams soaring the universe;
one nova breaks free!
One nova breaks free!
Fresh thoughts drift through time's pure space;
Ageless unique worlds.
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Ageless unique worlds
full of antiques, such useless
things, I think, for now
Things, I think, for now
Sit there and stare back blankly,
Ask and give nothing.
Chapter 7, The Little Prince ~ Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
Ask and give nothing
Underappreciated
I thank you now, mom
