Living….I need…. I need… I need to start watching The moon again, Hear silence, And soon again, know Stars, and wars, and Room again, under Night skies that roam. I need to start listening To whispers sung Be involved in lives Once wrung and I need to be me, again. Evolve, evolution, evolve through Night skies that whisper unquiet; Evolve, revolution, but know your Tech-niques and ‘nicians well. Aware, be wary, and yet find ways To live; be wary, not scary, to Those of kith and kin, and live, Live a’wary, to those to whom you give. I need to be me, again. Past, and memories, are good to build upon Past, and memories, are to some of us fond, Past, and memories, need to be building blocks; Past, and memories, could exhibit locks. I shall not lock myself within, To memories I adore Nor shall I watch long gone As if visited from before… No, I have children not mine whom I Love so dearly; children not mine Whom I adore so clearly; and children Not mine, who just need time, to know. And to know, takes caution, and heed, and Need of compassion, and reason to Deal with …. Stuff…. And that’s why I’ll reason with Me, myself, and I enough… To know that I need to grow as they do, Be open to more than I once thought I knew; Be open to changes that now Roam the land, and then rest, be happy As a great-grand…. And when it happens, I shall hug The little form in arms, for I shall not shrug Any duties or will power that I may have yet, And shall breathe in that ear, “lest you ever forget…” And hope will never die, As I diminish regret. ~*~ © KRJ 9-11-2011 |

By these notices of time we create the disciplines our reasons thus become a rhyme creationisms-is-our-sin. Mark these days and note the nights. Make each moment sacred. I'm afraid to go to sleep again lest I wake and be profane forgetting all I've got.  love you. |

I shall not lock myself within, To memories I adore Nor shall I watch long gone As if visited from before… No, I have children not mine whom I Love so dearly; children not mine Whom I adore so clearly; and children Not mine, who just need time, to know. This is so loving and nurturing... for both others and self... for both are important! Beautiful work! |

"I need to be me, again." That takes a lot of doing for some of us. Life sometimes hardens our spirits, and skin. To stand naked in front of a mirror Is often frightening. but you have exposed your nude spirit here, and what I see is beautiful. |
