Premium Member Fortuitous Meeting

Wobbling, whistling down the street,
I think "What could be more sweet?" 
than "lost in a lost world" and 
"stranger in a strange land"
could in the lines of this poem meet.

Hope

Woe is me,
   A stranger in a strange land of hate,
   An eternal enemy to love and to trust,
   
  
   Sorrow is my companion,
   Lonliness  is my mate,
   Which of the two is my fate?


   Open thy gates,
   Thy wonderous Pearly Gates,
    For outside i know only pain,


    Can i love again?
    Maybe tomorrow,
    Maybe tomorrow.

Water Brothers

"Brightly, brightly, and with Beauty",
quoted Mr. Valentine.
In fullness Grok; to cherish, flock-
this Ghost of Yours and Mine.

I've decided to discorporate
at this friendly hour.
Water Brothers, don't hesitate-
I am yours to devour!

*Homage to "Stranger in a Strange Land". If you've never read the book, this poem will 
be quite difficult to understand, I'm afraid.

Just a stranger in a strange land

A thousand miles of desert sand

With only the stars to guide me

And a thirst for life inside me

The moon eclipsed the desert air

Then from my lips a silent prayer

Enlightenment I do beseech

The precipice that I might reach

No boundaries that I can see

This desert wind has set me free

A wanderer without a home

A thousand miles for me to roam

Right Living

"I have been a stranger in a strange land."  Bible, Exodus 2:22

Siddhartha 
Wanderer, ascetic, teacher, awakened
Son of Suddhodana and Maya
Lover of right action, right thought and right speech
Who feels ‘Desire is the root cause of all misery’*
Who fears Ignorance, Attachment and Suffering
Who would like to see people live life with right purpose
Lived in Bodhgaya
Gautama, The Buddha.

*strangely true, yet cannot be realized

Did you ever find a time you couldn't do  
All of the things in your brain you had planned  
Instead you find time for feeling so blue  
Or being present, no time to renew 
feeling like a stranger in a strange land. 
 
You try so hard to keep it straight your brain 
The things in life that mean the most to you 
walking in puddles a day in the rain 
watching yourself even though it’s in vain 
since being alive shouldn't be something new.
