Epigram #81:  

WISDOM


Heraclitus said most men dread
Plain wisdom that springs unafraid.

Recently turned 81, no turning back now Been sent out to pasture, along with the cows When I graze, I get sore Bending over's a chore But the “grass” we devour is addictive and how

Premium Member To Start Anew

81
I found
A place
But not sure
My mind
Can release
All the ones
In Framingham
Given to peace
To start anew
It’s a wide
Big world
For me to use
I’m sorry
Baby
If I had
To leave
You behind

With night comes the Fall today 
Its weather all its own,
Clouds lie about the coastline
Early and also late.

The days that come this season
I look into with delight,
The time that passes within them
Starts inside the heart.

81 Years of Love

When we are 81 
And still joined at the hIP
 Husband and Wife
With the love of my life
I would fear death with every increasingly shallow breath
Because you are my very meaning of life
My reason to wake
My eternity lake

Premium Member Happening 81 Ear Candy

what is this
   a surprise?
a welcome
       return:
my heart 
     flutters 
in
anticipation
joy
   wells
        within,
overflows
    in tears
drowns
the past..
     with love

inspired by clip of Chopin no 2 op31

Quatrain #81:
TRUE


Touch helps clear feel to come to know,
Reach silence still that brings sure glow;
Urge peace to heal with profound light,
Etch love's fond will as joy now shows.

Lost

LOST Out of reach- Like in winter A swim at the beach. Out of sight- Like something distant In the night. Lost in thought- No where Can dreams be bought. Lost in now- But I will find Myself somehow. (LAW Orig. 1-7-81)

Premium Member The Law Is Not An A---: Guess Who Is

The fact that any society needs laws, rules and regulations is proof absolute of the failings of humanity,
The fact that any of these laws, rules, and regulations are flouted by so many is proof ultimate of human abnormality.

Who dreams of me tonight ?
My dream 
Befor sleep ?
    The sky in her eyes,
    The sun in her hair,
    The love in her sigh,
    Takes me there.    

A complement manner
In mouth and bed,
A feeling woman and
Right in the head,
Supporting and
Art fed.

Two storied teams
Creme-de-la-creme
  Yet one has to lose
  To sing the blues
Tear-stained its dreams

81

I haven’t left my house in days 
With everything else I’ve tried the anxiety still lingers
My dreams wound me and my nightmares mock me
Was it never meant to be?
My friends stopped asking for me when I disappeared for months on end
It’s too late now
My supplies are running out 
I’ll need to face the sun

Patients

The clock ticks...
Faster & faster
Time flyes by,
How long must I wait?

The hour hand hits the seven,
It make me cry.
My face is flushed and hot,
Theres a knock at the door.

Who can it be? 
I try to fix myself up.
My heart is pounding.
Will you notice my unhappiness?
Can it be?

Happiness, Love, Questions but honesty.
Everythings all right!

Premium Member Vbt Practice 81 of 112

Beginning with perception 
Of seeming separation 
We infuse empathy to feel
With full uninhibited appeal
Including each nuance subtle
Through dispassion spherical 
The pulse of joy & pain
The wax & wane
In each & every other being
By resonance so feeling

This practice not mindfulness 
Or pretended kindness
But rather singularity of awareness
Unifying with Absolute consciousness

My Grandmother's Hands

I looked down and I realized that
I had my grandmother’s hands
I’ve reached the point in life where the skin has thinned
and the veins have bulged
and thoughts of mortality land

At first it was upsetting, a reminder of age unrelenting
but soon after, I thought
What could be better than those loving hands
that soothed my fears
and dried my tears       
oh how 
I’ve missed my grandmother’s hands

COPLA 81 INVOCATION : This Bad Guy World

Bad Guys perforce ressort to prayer
They pray to augment the harm they wreak :
Should Good Guys pray

Who then assesses prayer power
Who dispenses what Bad Guys seek :
How fare the lay

All the evidence is in the genes
Just as the Earth’s in ocean cells :
Bad Guys impose

If Good Guys react by all means
Out of season all by themselves :
World’ll decompose

Premium Member After The Applause

Once the curtain is down
All lights then turn to dim
Music slowly trails off
As the self bows back in

Moments of reflection
Memory becomes faint
When the thrill has left you
And you wipe off the paint

You think of what it was
That you have then just done
Knowing all it has meant
Amazed if you had fun

You aren't even quite sure
If you'll keep going on
In search of more footlights
To brighten your soul song

Next Fight

Next Fight
How easy is it for countries who are friends
To become enemies and go to war?
Like Britain and Argentina in the 80s
Argentina bought British warships
Their crews trained here in 81
But in 82 they invaded the Falklands
We were at war and we won that war
But hundreds on both sides were killed
This is one example of conflict
It can and will happen again
Who will we fight next?

November 29, 1919

Dearest Janet,
I would love to come to your parents' Boxing Day Party.
I adore you. I want to marry you.
But if you are still angry I will understand.
Just give me a sign ~
I anxiously await your reply.

Forever yours,
Henry



In 2008, Janet Barrett, a guest-house owner in Weymouth, Dorset, UK, received a letter – an RSVP to a Boxing Day party invitation, which had been posted on 29 November 1919. It was 81 years late! (dramatized content)
