Tomorrow, a World Away

“Tomorrow, a World Away” 


what whence did I stray
from the gullibility 
of wanton poetry 

a sign above
smallness
wired

to the largesse 
of it 
all

insanity 
buries its head
in my bosom 

heart cries,
tomorrow! 
what do you know?

it’s a world away... 

(LadyLabyrinth/2022)

I am all for cremation. 
Love it (the idea of it all)…
cremation it is! 

ashes released to a breeze 
(not interred into some cavity of a wall, 
like a nagging, painful, loose filling); 

ashes 
released 
into a breeze, 

balmy, 
or freezing full of life, 
that carries it 

into the nostrils 
and bodies 
of the gorgeously unsuspecting, 

eventually infecting their minds 
in ways they are totally unaware of, 
yet magic still remains.

I Am Anaya July 22, 2022 at 8:44 PM The Bardo's usher us into the afterlife, a Zen sendoff. Not to get my Monty Python on, but not to be confused with Brigette Lol. Anoushka's -Ravi's -Nora. Will listen shortly to them and their genius. There was a beautiful song long ago, hard to remember the name "Govinda Hare Kirshna" were some lyrics. Lady Labyrinth July 22, 2022 at 9:13 PM yes, I was astounded to discover Nora Jones is half-sister to Anoushka Shankar. Will check what you have written above. Love it.

Paula Goldsmith July 20, 2022 at 10:03 AM Your "“Tomorrow, a World Away” so true. Like the song from the Annie show, "Tomorrow Is Just A Day Away." We never know what tomorrow will bring good/bad. I pray good blessings for all. If we only knew what tomorrow has for us. Some say they do not want to know "But" I would love to know. God knows best. Have a fun/blessed day writing/painting away............... Lady Labyrinth July 20, 2022 at 2:08 PM we never die, we are in a loop, when you delve into it more deeply. next I'll be going all Monty Python.

Lady Labyrinth July 20, 2022 at 3:18 AM This is a stellar quote. Love it. "I like people with emotional and intellectual depth, people that speak with passion from their inner twisted mind". ;)

Unseeking Seeker July 20, 2022 at 2:45 AM Has a ring of authentic Machiavellian honesty to it! Lady Labyrinth July 20, 2022 at 2:54 AM lol! very true. however, I shall be cremated. I think I'd like one of those Viking send offs...or at least, ashes scattered off the back of some kayak between North and South Head.
