The children have lived
lives
I never knew

One went to war
One went to deprivation
Both knew true suffering

I stand beyond
time and distance's separation
offering meager alms

Some of us are salmon
struggling up stream
Others are hawks
flying free in the jet stream

I don't know about you
but transitions
have never come easily
for me

Intervention or natural consequences
The rolling dice play out

In the end
the outcomes will come
long after I'm done and gone.
Serious talk
The morning service was about
Taking one day at a time
and forget your worries
While the piles of backlog unpaid bills bow
in the letter rack, the bill collectors calling
every hours of the day using those 1 800 numbers

And there I was standing by the kitchen sink,
doing the dishes from the night before:

while I pondered about the ambulance bill,
the credit card bill, so many *******  bills,
If I was to drop dead today,
Who would pay those bills?
Who would wash those dishes?

So I took out my small *** from under the counter,
And filled it up with water and gently turned on the stove
I began to cook my favorite porridge,
Oatmeal mixed with saga
I clean down the kitchen counter,
I gather my thoughts, I became the cookie poet of the month
while i munches on my words

Learn from yesterday, live for today, hope for tomorrow.
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Quote:

As I continued to stir the mixture together on the stove top
I kept thinking about the homeless people

Less worries, no bill, no bill collectors, no
Letters rack, just the last car on the last train track
And a sign that read do you have any loose change?

I like to go down random paths in the woods..
And by that I mean not taking the true path at all.
Avoiding the trail all together..
It was then I found this old red house..
Forgotten and empty..
But I saw a light on in the back window.
So I decided to look in..

What I saw was a very strange figure at the center of a bedroom..
She wore strange clothes and there was a beautiful ambient vibration sound coming from the strange objects that where all around the room..
They were all glowing the same color as well as a stick she was holding.. She then seem to draw a doorway made of light at the center of the room..  There was then a flash of light as 3 more figures stepped out of the light dressed nearly the same.  They retrived all of the glowing objects and went back into the door of light.   She then put down a circular object on the floor and finally passed through the door of light.  I quickly ran into the house and into the bedroom.. The light door was still open.  So I ran through!!!!!
On the otherside is...
Love is a beautiful scene
She is each descriptive glance
Rainbows connecting mountains
Awe inspiring waterfalls
Clear fountains , the birth of Spring
in the month of May , the embattled flowers
of the Fall , purple wire grass shimmering
o'er Hill Country smoky malls
The flavor of salt , fescue and gardenia
Afternoons along Pink Dogwood , bristling
Magnolia hallways
From wooden porches as shadows grow tall with
the music of Angus cattle in the orange , growing
nightfall* ...

“you can’t force love”
I want to do it in a soft way while she wants it in hard way
I believe in the softness of love while she considers it hard
I want to explore her like a pure beam of light, like light ray
While she considers me her partner I want to be her guard

Let me show her the blend of vice and virtue on love screen
Let me differentiate what is sheer love blooming with lust
Let me be the associate of my pure chaste innocent sweet teen
Let us follow real love code in a gust without breaking trust

My beloved you are too young to understand the philosophy
Experience will make you perfect in the line of love to just go
With a great observer you just try to go through and you to see
From where the moth carries strength to be on candle to glow
