Life in Blog Posts

 A   L   O   H   A !

We measure our lives

in blog posts

of the present 

and the past;

Recollections of that 

Long ago

Black & white groove

Daddy - O.

Present

So bright and

Enthralling,

Towers rising

Hypocrisies falling; 

Strong men look tired

Democracy's calling.

Maybe India or

Timbuktu

Can get it right

As Churchill was:

"The worst form of 

Government except

for all the others."

So chin up, mothers

Your children may rise

if we should only be

so wise

to leave them simple

Air to breathe -

Don't leave.

Just go

In the other room

For a while

Till it's time to smile.

Though it's always time

For smiles

With you

And Me

Whatever else passes

Or comes to be.

Not a bad campsite

To linger a long long while;

Soaking in the present's

Juices -

Not drying out

But open sluices.

Flow river flow

Flow to the sea.

Flow river flow

O river of me

Purling past rocks

Held stagnant in locks.

Now I push boulders around.

Deep strong currents 

Meaningful circus

Glittering treats!

On our way

To the 

Sea.
