the moment one thing died, another arose he had blossomed and wilted and died when it froze but his words still pierced like thorns on dried stems and each day I'm uplifted by one of his gems like today when I trifled all stifled with strife and it came to me suddenly his take on life its not what is settled at the end of the day but where the path leads tomorrow >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>and you lead the way

nature is not enslaved to humanity and suffers not from vanity but try to tell sean hannity and I am sure you will get an earfull about how we Americans are blessed by God and he gave us this world to maul and maraud if I thought he was anything less than a fraud his rantings would make me quite fearful

could inside you be the one of my dreams behind cinder and brick and foot thick beams your fortified facade like Berlin 'fore the fall I may sound like Ronnie but tear down that wall glittering glimpses by my prying eyes suggests I may be in for quite a surprise then the light goes out and a darkness descends and I find myself groping for positive trends

which friend of yours are you willing to trade playing them for points down at the shady arcade and the guy neath the lamp post looks into your soul and you shiver with a loneliness that takes a transient toll how does a plow turn the tractor around to keep from furrowing the same old ground darkness is default and light comes at a price like the white spots showing on a throw of black dice

before her own eyes an image of him as the man he once was when he was taught and trim and the mirror within played tricks with her mind and she saw herself thin with a firm behind his eyes weren't as bad and he too plainly saw what time and gravity had done to ol' Ma but he, too was smitten by the image of self close your eyes she's a kitten and you're the picture of health

the good and bad subsequently unfurled and casting a shadow over the world nationalistic fervor simplistic affirmations you can't be the server and ruler of nations so take a back seat, had your time in the sun pass the scepter and salt to the red dragon been bought from within just a shell of yourself just look at the labels of the goods on the shelf

Surrounding your soul - happiness found confounding whole, I'm slapping the ground each part I start to get to know adds up to make a horror show but horror shows I've always liked with blood-stained teeth and hair all spiked not so much scary as drenched in sin with an angel's grace admixed within and I, like the priest, high on his altar not wishing to fall or fail or falter holding a crucifix true to the fire but using it to stir up a cup of desire luring, demurring, and most of all curing like a kitten so smitten I find myself purring living is giving and loving is too the sand I am sieving gives gold nuggets for you

my, this journey is fast seems like yesterday and the good things never last that's what I heard him say as he steered his own park bench through the cobwebs in his head his knurled fingers in a vice grip clench round the paper he had just read and I wondered what was the storyline that made him react just so for what in his past did he most pine that seemed not so long ago the trickery of time and age plays havoc with us all and I imagined him staring at the page with a spot where his tear did fall one man, one bench, one reflection in one park in one little city and the chance of our own intersection as I passed and at once felt his pity how it held me fast in an instant of time that can stream by or scream to a halt how a minute can seem a lifetime and a lifetime a grain of salt

that's where the treasure is truly lurking said the grandfather as they entered the cove if we're lucky, and we are, by george we'll go home with quite a trove as the morning mist rose from surface unkissed by the slightest breath of breeze the sound of the oars echoed from the shores and their love was admired by the trees

Paul K You are obviously not a religious man, or at least not Christian, for Jesus said it clear as day: "It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of heaven." Now, add to that, Lennon's Imagine no religion, and there you have a prescription for a much saner world.

rain stings my face can we go home now back to the place of our youth somehow road's washing out a landslide it seems has muddied and sullied all of our dreams did the sun used to shine more of the time or do I so pine for a fantasy clime memories fade of childhood storms and the passage of time deflects and deforms a child of mine with concern on his face requests of me my life to retrace do I tell of malaise and of easy wins or do I reveal the scars on my shins like that would prepare for hard rains to come you're on your own son because we were dumb

where is my boat sleek with teak landlocked and lost now as we speak plying the waves on a windward tack nearing the point where wind's at my back where is my vessel all rigged and ready with me at the helm out beyond the jetty windworn and happy and salty and free one if by land but won with the sea where is my sloop with her decks bedecked with provisions and visions of a life unchecked by landlubber burdens and rubberband knots a life busted free where I call the shots I'm ready to rumble I'm ready to float to the sea I succumb but where is my boat

The Train Journey....the freedom express... Posted: 11/11/2009 1:34:01 PM
We used to meet at the bend in the track near the candy store that was more of a shack didn't matter from which side we came north or south it was all the same a small little berg that the tracks ran through like a bead on a thread or a path through the zoo and the houses were cages from which we escaped to meet and conspire knees and elbows scraped from wars we created in innocent minds building forts and moats and friends of all kinds never considered then what the tracks represented a way out from what then was a life contented with small little victories and immature dreams not fully developed to the level of means looking back down the track to that simpler time it haunts me with the thought that childhood is a rhyme an easy breezy cadence of life in full swing when the worst thing could happen was perhaps a bee sting if I boarded a train in full reverse would it be a blessing or would it be a curse to arrive at that town at that time long ago and would I know then what now I know that it's fleeting as the meeting on a midnight train only one stop to go looking through the pane at the years and tears and fears gone by too many tangled knots to ever untie a simple thread with a bead is how it was then when we were lords and soldiers and hoards aged ten

Light will stab the dark & so help your plight if you open your doors I think it might if you keep them boarded full of fright your true potential will have been forsaken I think of Nell, that southern bell thoughts so clear but how to tell shackled inside her own living hell or were all the others sorely mistaken if a fledgling bird never cracks it's shell like a cathedral clock that never rings it's bell we will never know if it flew or fell so many the paths never taken can't walk them all without a fall but its wise to venture beyond the wall some will entangle some will enthrall disembark from dark or you will never waken

I will forever cherish the brother that I have I will always wonder what could have been had the other two stayed around what kind of lives, what kind of men to share the grief with my brother in chief an unspoken strength there resides not much to say but continue to play with the cards dealt by life's ripple tides

see we're aligned with a higher reality or so thinks what seems like a plurality some say mumbo jumbo to all that spiritual stuff as for me small bites are ok until I've had enough I've never levitated, though I hear it can be done a skeptic like me never will, though it might be fun tried to walk on water once, thought it was firmly frozen learned my lesson there and then that I am not the chosen
