“Sisters” (Jeri & Joy, 01-04-07) — Image by kenne
For there is no friend like a sister
In calm or stormy weather;
To cheer one on the tedious way,
To fetch one if one goes astray,
To lift one if one totters down,
To strengthen whilst one stands
— Christina Rossetti

As we grow old, remember to stay young.
As we grow wiser, remember to stay foolish.
As we grow weak, remember to stay strong.
As we grow dull, remember to stay sexy.
As we grow stupid, remember to stay sensible.
As we grow suspicious, remember to stay trusting.
As we grow forgetful, remember to stay attentive.
As we grow gloomy, remember to stay cheerful.
As we grow conventional, remember to stay enlightened.
As we grow frail, remember to stay sturdy.
As we grow, may we stay forever
young,
foolish,
strong,
sexy,
sensible,
trusting,
attentive,
cheerful,
enlightened, and
sturdy — simple words to live by.
Words are powerful!
Why?
Because they can hurt and
they can bring people together.
Both acts have powerful results.
Words divide us.
However,
the power of words
is that once divided,
they can be used
to bring us back together.
We should not allow words
to change our relationships,
because unlike the cucumber
that becomes a pickle
and can never be a cucumber again,
we can break down the walls that divide.

Aria (Las Vegas) — Image by kenne
And if blue is an illusion,
what will become of innocence?
What will become of the heart
if Love has no arrows?
— from Autumn Song (November 1918) by Federico Garcia Lorca

Hello, Old Girlfriend
I thought about you today,
Taking a big breath.
I thought about yesterday,
Exceeding my grasp.
I thought about time,
Wondering about timeless.
I thought about life,
Asking the question.
I thought about you,
Knowing not what I see.
I thought about what is,
Wondering why?
I thought about the ideal,
Seeking what could have been.
I thought about truth,
Confusing it with facts.
I thought about being,
Becoming aware.
I thought about love,
Touching the feeling.
I thought about Joy,
Feeling her inside.
I thought about the girl,
Where did she go?
I thought about tomorrow
In search of yesterday,

A little boy
and his friend
always by his side
someone to talk to
someone to comfort
someone to love.

Wine for Two
Picture this,
the setting sun
beaming streams of light
through the trees.
Occasionally moving
with the breeze,
sending beams dancing
across the glass tabletop.
Captured for the moment
in two glasses of wine,
only to be released forever
to the hearts of each lover.
A visual of the mind
Seeking a mindless void
For each heart to fill
but a fragment of the matrix
The new field of vision
Changing the way things are seen.
The glasses in the picture
are forever changed to one.
