Sadness reigns
on thoughts that were
not on what we gain
but penalties incurred

So I peep around the corner
with eyes open wide
I feel a little warmer
when I set my fears aside

I see the sun can shine
and people really smile
All I need can be mine
Though it may take a little while

so with positive thoughts ahead
I'll go and get undressed
pull back the covers slip into bed
but my dreams I'll not divest

but be assured you're in them
as my mind could certify
more a case of requiem
than trying to comply....

You give but little when you give of your possessions. It is when you give of yourself that you truly give.

In friendship or in love, the two side by side raise hands together to find what one cannot reach alone.

Khalil Gibran from Mary Haskell’s Journal June 8, 1924

I want to be alive
To all the life that is in
me now, to know
each moment to the
uttermost.


Khalil Gibran from Mary Haskell's Journal June 7, 1912.

Rainbow Girl is sleeping yet,
Her dreaming invigorates her.
When she awakes she'll have a cigarette,
While her Snoops berates her.

nice poem, Queen
