To live as gently as I can;
To be, no matter where, a man;

And cling to faith and honor still;

The holiest of all holidays are those
Kept by ourselves in silence and apart;
The secret anniversaries of the heart,
When the full river of feeling overflows;--

I wake up each day
On this journey of mine,
Grabbing each moment
Of my limited time.
Miss Fleming: I was looking at a poem I wrote, SWEET THINGS FOR YOUR EAR, and I saw you left me a wonderful review. We seem to have the same outlook on life. I look back on my life a lot. I...
He danced as a buck,
sang as an elder and
beat a drum as long as he was able.
I'd be happy, only if...
Our often deceptive belief -
If I were a superstar,
Fleeting eternity
surrounds the mountaintop,
nestled in a lush green valley
time forgot.
I watch the hands on the clock tick by
And I wonder where time goes.
Will this be the year to end all years?
Well, only God can know.
Excellent poem, as always. Keep writing...
Very best wishes,
Ann
I can't prevent attitudes
from knocking upon my door,
but I decide which to let in
and which ones to ignore.
I can't be certain, but I believe we have met before.
There's an eerie connection between us; of this I'm very sure.
You seem so familiar like our paths have crossed somehow.
I wonder maybe in a dream or a memory long past now.
Famous Poem
I met a traveller from an antique land
Who said: "Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. Near them on the sand,
Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown
As life unravels, be brave and bold,
Never criticise, neither grudges hold.
Live in harmony, with your fellow man,
Following nature, as our lord planned.
Some good advice. I definitely need to learn to listen more and talk less! I'm very prone to opening my mouth before engaging my brain! Best wishes, Ann.
I don't mind accolades
freely passed on my way,
I'll take encouragement
gladly, any given day.
