What is it about two elderly folks holding hands
That says so much about life
First of all it says love sweet love
But when you see couples in their golden years holding hands
We smile and say awww!
It means after a lifetime of ups and downs
These people are still in love, are still the best of friends
All too often, we loose that loving connection
When the trials and tribulations that confront us each day
Put love on the back burner and we forget about the one thing
That brought us together in the first place... love
Try to remember that feeling and how overwhelming it was
How we lost our appetite, how we couldn't focus on things
Exasperating yet the most glorious feeling we've ever felt
Unfortunately we can lose that as we age
To be replaced by a more mature kind of love
But OH... that first glance, that first kiss, that first embrace
The first time someone says, “I love you!”
Nothing can match that glorious moment
We find ourselves wishing we could relive those joyous moments
But they are replaced by a mature love
Because to maintain that youthful exhilaration
Would certainly make it difficult to carry on a normal existence
Oh the memories, thankfully we have them
Combining the words “Fianna” and “Bard”, I give you the warrior-poet clan of the Fiard.
Also, a fiard is an inlet of the sea with low banks on either side, common along the Gulf of Finland, and formed by the post-glacial drowning of the Fenno-Scandian shield.
I give you the first Fiard’s ritual -
First of all, we thank the sacred 3 which is now known as Awen. In this ritual they shall be the earth, the moon and sun. And for the 3 worlds in which we roam. Starting we face towards the east, from where our sun does come, we thank the element of Air, also intelligence comes from there. And the wishes of the Ancient Ones. Its symbol is the Dagger, and its king is Lugh.
Turning now to the north, its element is our sacred Earth. As we honour all living beings on her, whether they’re trees or animals, they are all gifts from the Ancient Ones. The symbol of Earth is the pentacle or disc, and its mighty lord of animals, Cernunnos.
Now spinning to the west, where our sun does rest. The element there is water; its symbol therefore is the chalice, the cup. The waters of life do heal us and purify our being. The king of water is Llyn.
Now we face the south, its element is fire which has strong guardians called salamanders, with teeth dripping with poison. Fire’s symbol is the wand (preferably out of Hazel). The king of fire is Belenos.
Focusing now back to the centre where the fifth element is Spirit. In spirit all mysteries are revealed. Spirit flows through all things; spirit is the sacred, the hallowed, the pure, the unspoken. Spirit is Being beyond form. Spirit unites us in the Isles of the blessed. We send now peace to all 4 quarters, turning slowly 3 times giving our thanks. Then I, the elected throws 4 staves in the centre, one for each symbol, and return with it on the next ritual. Now leaving the sacred circle by which your symbol does represent, the ritual now over, but when we return time, you must enter In the same direction with your symbol held out straight in both hands. We finish with the whisper of Awen.

If you take a flight at night,
Don’t expect much sleeping,
Though exhaustion in your bones
Will sneakily start seeping.
First of all, you’re sitting,
Which to sleep is not conducive.
Next are all the noises,
Making slumber quite elusive.
Even if the lights are dimmed,
Some screens are lit up brightly.
Putting on a sleeping mask
Will help, but only slightly.
Flight attendants on the march
Bring snacks or drinks or smiles,
Rattling their carts as they
Parade on down the aisles.
If you catch your forty winks,
You wake up in a stupor.
Next to younger passengers,
You seem a party pooper.
Then you land and you de-plane,
So wiped out you could cry.
Since you booked these tickets,
Now it’s time to wonder why.
You’re so wiped out the day is shot;
The red-eye part is true.
Some love these flights, but as for me,
I’ve met my Waterloo.
The first type are vulgars.
They think they are different from others.
They are pretty disrespectful.
They think not, but their humour is dreadful.
They are narcissist, who are so full of themselves.
They live in a blur of media,ans think they are superior than everybody else.
They badmouth their friends behind their back.
They want to be accepted and that's their lack.
The second type are the purest and most innocent soups on the earth.
First of all, your act is absurd.
What's the point of pretending to be nice?
I bet this masquerade will cost a heavy price.
Do you think sacrificing makes you look cool?
Let me make this clear, you're just a stupid fool.
You think this is how you were born?
Darling, you're completely wrong.
These were the two types of idiots.
They think their reality is too hideous.
Of course it is, but not as their fake personality.
Stop trying to fit in, and don't hide your bad qualities.
First of all a spider falls out of the sky
Landing on your head
Which is not funny because it is a heavy spider!
So you fall down into a potted plant
Wood ticks begin crawling up your arms now.
You have to use your controller to smash them
If you leave even one, you will pay later for it.
You have a choice now. Enter haunted castle
Or enter haunted tree.
Something is screaming “Don’t go into the castle”
It is up to you to decide
Because there are foolers in this game
And if they fool you they steal some of your points
But here is the tricky part. There are helpers too.
There are witches, goblins, ghouls, and gargoyles.
They steal your coins if you are not careful.
You have to eliminate them quickly.
Draculas, devils and other evil demons are
curiously on your side; you have to remember
which ones to kill and which ones are helping you.
Trickier still – as you play the game the goblins and Draculas
can change roles, always keeping you on your toe.
The game is called “Watch your Back” – Good luck!
Life on the Edge of a Desert
David J Walker
First of all
It’s really a converted prairie
Once a jungle of buffalo grass
A thick jumble of forest for the
smallest of all God’s creatures
land captured and plowed asunder
becoming The harvest
of common principle
the subject of the annual
King Cotton fall festival
That is if God chooses to cleanse
the agrarian sins
And sends a Eucharist of rain to the
Forgiven farmers of bootlegged
Aquifer moisture
Last of all
It is a land of open sky
Endless sky
Left in the hands of the fearless
Subjects of the winds
Where every new generation
of true pioneers
will live and die
under the watchful eye
Of a living and loving God
Unity first is a high command
But it’s now in big demand
Breaking peace into many pieces
In search of money going to ashes
People to people in separation like banks not as bridges
God sometimes getting anger like Men
At disobeying even his single command
God
Needs not the same Men for ever
But only his faithful follower
He reduced some people to ashes
To produce new ones in many cases
The Men here today God may say go
New some may come as per his law
Unity first is God’s command
But it’s in now big demand
No unity means distancing
Saying like God is wrong being advancing
Now here come not God but his punishments
First of all he,God distanced from Men
Next to make Men from each other distancing
See today all Men with each other going distance
As God did from Men as sentences
This Men soon to do their corrections
Unite and get close as a symbol of social togetherness!
By hook and crook
I passed two days of lockdown.
On 3rd day i made up my mind
Not to take task at home in hand.
I left kitchen and home on her behalf.
But 12 hours of day
I couldn't spend without work.
So i decided to play an adventure game
My soulmate was competent in the game.
First of all i made a cloth ball with my hands
We shall try to catch it on both end.
She and i entered into the hall
To play game with hands made ball.
The rules of game were decided first
Hold catch 2 points and dropped catch 3 points
We started it only for fun
But regret, we forgot it very soon.
I threw the ball
She caught and scored two points .
She tried to dodge me
But i caught and started with same points.
The game was going on
Throw and catch
Catch and throw the ball.
Clapped at every point
We were the players
We were the spectators
Enjoying game at both ends.
But my fate never liked my happiness
I was just behind her on points table
It my turn to throw the ball
I held it as rugby player hold ball.
Threw it hard towards her
Unfortunately she missed the ball
It made her face an extra ball.
The game was finished without declaration
No one defeated, no one was win.
One side the flooded Ganges
Other hand the hungry lioness
Childhood song i understood this day.
Hurt lady at home
Corona warrior was on road
To catch culprit of lockdown
Difficult to select
Either stayed in or out in lockdown.
I stood unmoved till conscious back
Hurriedly i took towel to use as mask
Opened the doors and ran out.
'Stay in', ordered a cop to me
But who had time to listen it.
A ball from my doors targeted me
But this time luck saved me.
Married man knew married man very well
So he helped me to save from hell.
He said me politely,
'stand under margosa tree in isolation '
I followed his instructions with deep breath
But it was damn evening
When honest man asked me,
'Choose home or quarantine of 14 days'
There was no option
So defeated soldier turned back to home.
She was sitting in sofa as queen
Watched as tigress looked lamb in grass green.
She turned on the TV at high volume
Highlights of WWE was going on tv screen
Punches after punches listened neighbours
With wrecked smile on lips
They asked me next day
' who won the match yesterday?
Atheists open letter to God
Dear God
I don't know how to begin...let's see
how are you today? (no he doesn't exist...oh yeah)
I am writing you today...to clarify a few things!
First of all, the fact that I am writing you this letter,
does not in any way shape or form indicate, confirm,
affirm, or testify, or give testimony, or bear witness
to a belief or conviction that you exist, in any form whatsoever!!!
Speaking about your existence...I have denied your existence
and I wanted to know why you have not accepted my denial!
Don't you understand that my denial of you, (now as a consequence
of aforementioned denial) you are hereby obligated to not exist.
My detailed analysis of facts as I understand them lead me to conclude that there is no Creator, no Intelligent Designer, and also I concur, believe, am convinced, have the conviction, that we(humans) are the product of evolution and random selection, after the big bang event.
So in conclusion, I would like to ratify my belief that you do not exist, I concur, and agree, and am bound by this letter witnessed by me, stating categorically, unequivocally, that you do not exist.
Please refrain from indicating, manifesting, proving, supporting, in any way that you exist. Please respect my declaration of your non- existence and comply forthwith.
Not yours, not so sincerely,
An unbeliever
P.S If by any chance I am wrong...please disregard the aforementioned letter
with my most sincere and humble apologies.
