Notes About The Poem

Living Just Once

 
"Everyone of us live our life just once,
if we are honest, to live once is enough."

                               Greta Garbo, 1938


so live in tranquility for it is the place
of imagination and reflection
be you, be mellow, be calm
be gentle, be respectful
be pleasant
listen 
find harmony
contemplate the infinite
the intricate and spiritual
keep talking and life will be nothing
keep quiet and life will be full in excess

Gershon Wolf October 14, 2022 at 8:11 AM Love the poem, Constance, especially the last two lines. As my dear mother used to say: Gershon, God gave you two ears and one mouth... Happy weekend! ~ Gershon Constance La France October 15, 2022 at 6:47 AM Gershon, thank you so much for the comment and compliment, my father had sayings too, that I actually understand now, one was "be quiet, never let your enemies what you really think", blessings Constance
