Early morning, fog in the air
dew on the grass
wake up at a truck stop
this is life...

He drew still life in the main

Epigram #81:  

WISDOM


Heraclitus said most men dread
Plain wisdom that springs unafraid.

My first wife Linda would have been 81 today
But after 42 years of marriage, cancer stole her away
Think of her still
Always will  
My love Cathie is now lighting love's way!...

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...

Will be 81 next week, no turning back now
Been sent out to pasture, along with the cows
When I graze, I get sore
Bending over's a chore

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...

Just turned 81 last week, 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...

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....

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...

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

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.

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

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...

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!

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

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
