He recently told me about a rush of dreams
featuring his rapidly approaching end.
Dad comes from a long chain of seers
that has no link to me.
If brevity is the soul of wit
levity the key to longevity
be the humour in it
and
tho' we may be one link
in the chain but a blink
in the big picture
the grand scheme of time
here today and gone tomorrow
on the brink I like to think
(whenever I can)
as the world's revolving
I am a wink in the never-ending
ever-unfolding evolving of man
so
as time flies
on a one-way ticket
never to return
I light my candle at both ends
while I have one to burn
With letters like S, T, and V,
Triumph and Victory, you'll see.
If they take their leave,
Success can achieve,
But without "U", where is the glee?

''Our strong bonds are eternal,'
they are never loose links...
pulsating rhythm of before and after,
happiness in total confidence
perfect harmony and light
intense duet like Nirvana
"pleasure in maximum height"
It's a cold world, give me a link to life,
Where frosty winds cut like a knife.
In the echoes of a winter's sigh,
A resilient ember refuses to die.
Beneath the icy cloak, a heartbeat beats,
A symphony of survival in silent streets.
Footprints etched in the crisp snow,
Each step a tale of resilience to show.
Through the chill, a connection weaves,
A tapestry of warmth that never leaves.
In the frozen moments, find the key,
Unlock the door to possibility.
It's a cold world, but within the freeze,
Lies the thaw of hope and gentle ease.
Give me a link to life, a bridge to traverse,
Where warmth persists, and dreams converse.
Reading books of all kinds,
Broadens minds,
Thought binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Strengthens minds,
Friendship binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Heroes bought to minds,
Hope binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Gifts bought to minds,
Talent binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Fresh minds,
Moral judgment binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Kind minds,
Empathy binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Enquiring minds,
Reason to care binds.
Reading books of all kinds,
Alerts minds,
To dangerous binds.
As you watched the abuse carried out,
My soul was broken, no doubt.
A connection can never be made,
As my nurturer and protector, I was betrayed.
Setting the stage for scant regard,
Not knowing how to protect myself by putting up my guard.
No loving childhood remembrances,
No I love you or tender embraces.
I finally had to let go and grieve,
It will never be the relationship I believe.
In order to begin the healing process,
I had to step away and decompress.
Male female idyll
infinite so finite
all while love lasts
I've plugged it in
And turned it on
Checked the cable
Won't take long
Allowed access
Downloaded files
Installed drivers
Wait quite a while
Clicked the links
Agreed to terms
Ticked the boxes
Start to squirm
Updated versions
Tried other ports
Looked at Google
Had grumpy thoughts
Changed the settings
Tried troubleshoot
Turned it off
Done a reboot
But the printer still won't print.....
Next day, try again
To get the gist
See straight away
The link I missed
Drinks Link
Shop- pub / Retail.
Whiskey /. Bear / Wine
Cocktail. Mocktail
Hard soft /. Budget /
Detail. Curtail.
Feeling-
Thirsty.
Drinking- Thinking-
Hasty. Whimsy.
Blinking- Sinking-
Tipsy. Drowsy.

Connections continue to exist
Despite the daunting distance
Loving hard leads to an enlarged heart
Leaving left over capacity
To slice off a sliver to send up to the sky
At the same time have room to accept
Dedication of devotion sent down
Never forgetting the bond that was built
In spite of the sad separation
If no one will, who will?
Share joy don’t hesitate!
A smile can do so much;
Give out ten thousand hugs;
You can soothe with a touch;
If no one will, who will?
Been helped? Pay it forward;
Look out for each other;
Pour when your cup is full,
kindness is the reward;
If no one will, who will?
Be brave step in a fight;
By all means rock that pink,
knock out with boxing gloves;
Your vibe’s the missing link.

The author of my personal journals,
the recorder of the momentous
and irrelevant
died from an attack of boredom
only recently. I am now adrift
far from any past
not equipped for unknown futures.
Being knocked off the raft
I was clinging to,
being a slow swimmer in a fast moving ocean
I doggy paddle in these long minutes
trying to out-guess next moves.
It’s hard to be calm in rough waters
we get used to the humdrum far too quickly,
take the low-key for granted.
Speaking of keys
I tried to unlock a private webpage
I had neglected for years
it turned out to be a dead-link.
I sink, I paddle on doggedly
just the usual castaway
looking for more driftwood
to latch on to.
I don't compete with death
in fair certainty
that together we will arrive...
