Winds

Wind howls through the night
stirring up latent clouds
and making the Weather Channel nervous
Advisories are thrown around

Too bad it's dark
We'd fly a kite
and hope for a good wind
so we'd be carried away
to a time when we were happy
and carefree

In like a lion
out like a lamb
but all the days run together for me

We live in interesting

We live in *interesting* times... Good poem, Jess. I love your heart. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

Thanks, all!

It is definitely interesting times. I think, like others, I fell into the lap of complacency. We're the US with tons of money! The 20's will never happen again! Boy was I wrong. ~Jess K. ---------------------------------------------------- -"Will there be another race to come along and take over for us?

The thing is, as long as we

The thing is, as long as we live the *status quo*, most of us don't really give more than a perfunctory shit: (I wrote a poem 'bout that ;-) what happens to the rest of the world... to see what is REALLY going on.... how the few create the circumstances of the many, as long as we're *comfortably numb*. So it is, so it goes. ~A "We have to try to get rid of the notion of time. And when you have an intense contact of love with nature or another human being, like a spark, then you understand that there is no time and that everything is eternal." Paulo Coelho

Good poem, I must admit, I give up, I am complacent, our government cannot be penetrated, what is going to happen will. So I will get out of the way and let Jesus do what he must. Patty
