Porter carry my baggage I’m totting all that I can manage I have this perverse need to hold on hanging onto old deeds now done. From the boxes I collect sift through notes, I neglect painted memories, now windswept on the edge of new doorsteps. Through the notes, I collect given chances for new mindsets there's this uncanny need to discard what my mind's eye had high regard. Love will persist at finding value to find new reason, to hold on but the need for old information has now gone So hang those canvasses of painted memories now windswept and don't neglect new cues ushered in the aisles and filling pews. So it is with modern times people more adept at rhymes tell you of the need to discard what the man's eye had high regard. Porter, do you carry heavy loads old boxes and princely toads? my mind now sees closing curtains the amount I have is somewhat uncertain. Do not amass or accumulate do not collect and then neglect paint your memories and hang some our days are counted and some work was done. Porter, take my baggage a new destination calls here comes my carriage. |

Darn, Martin..how easily you write about this..I still have boxes and boxes of baggage to unload. Haven't found anyone who wants it, and I treasure it too much to trash. *s Maureen |

Another great one, Martin... Oh the baggage and boxes and papers we accumulate as we go through life! It seems that the older we get...the more stuff we accumulate!  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |
