Always Look on the Bright Side of Life...

After clearing space
The hall is broad and empty,
All dust swept away,
The spotless room comforting,
Like a soul purged of worry.
All is everything
And in the end you must die:
So what will you do?
That is the only question,
Your life the final answer.
When I was eighteen
I knew almost everything,
My father nothing;
Older now, I am learning
The wisdom of ignorance.
Dark clouds dump hard rain
On thirsty earth, flooding plains
And canceling games
As the sticky mud prevents
Children from playing baseball.
Roots buried in muck,
Its slender neck standing tall
Above the pond’s sludge,
A golden pod, unblemished,
Spills pollen on pink petals.
The tiny tyrant
Cannot speak a single word,
Yet is understood
By subjects who serve him
And provide his every need.
yeah, some vomiting,
the usual arc of pain
left side of my head
pinning me to the mattress
slow passage of dense dark time
As evening shadows
Lengthen while the setting sun
Kisses the western
Hills, so old memories stretch
As aging bodies weaken.
The aging mother
Who nursed her newborn children,
Raised them to adults,
Now offers milk of wisdom
Based on precious memories.
Leaves turn upside down,
Anticipating the storm,
Dancing in high winds,
Warning all to find shelter
Before the summer rainfall.

of ducks,
sucking goodness
from the muck.
We should all
have such luck.
O MY Luve 's like a red, red rose
That 's newly sprung in June:
O my Luve 's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune!
