the sun comes up days are born the sun goes down the days die nothing left but memories it is the same with flowers which bloom the blooms die fall to the ground then rot things frozen melts candles give ancient light softly in the dark everything is transient moment in time used and frittered away love is everlasting except when it is not we breathe in order to live then . . . at a point in time we stop ©June 25, 2015 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

Jerry,you are too young to let the days go by like this.As for me,I spend my days trying to figure it all out.Up to a few years ago all was great,but time is running out and I still have a lot of family work to figure out. You should get out in the beautiful sun,take your dog and tip your hat to the ladies, oh and wear that smile. best to you ,jo |

quote:...indeed it is JerryPat. quote:You and I and many others I'm certain, could literally write volumes from this one phrase of your wisdom. At first glance, it has its own paradox that points to a birth as an oxymoron, but after clearing the clouds that sometimes obscure my thinking, looking deeper reveals many things I relate to. Really good stuff you have here JerryPat! 88's friend She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast". |

Oh . . . I get out there, Jo, I don't stay locked down here inside The Hovel twenty-four-seven. I sit here trying to figure things out also, the poem is a result of some off that thinking. Appreciate your thoughts. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |

I hadn't thought of that phrase as having "has its own paradox that points to a birth as an oxymoron." After reading your thoughts about it, I can see where birth and death could very well be what you first thought it to be. At any rate, in my thoughts concerning the phrase, it is just a simple truth, Ticklefingers. I'm happy you dropped by and gave me something to think on. |

Yes, my friend, we are all just passing through. And we all leave some kind of print in the sand. ~L |

Transience has its charms, change is bound to happen and who knows what treasures will unfold on our way ... after the "stop"? I love your wise pondering here, dear Jerry. There is so much in this life that remains mysterious, but meanwhile we breathe through several eternal love adventures ... Isn't it amazing?! Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Thank you very much, Margherita. Yes, indeed, I am a ponderer. I am also a love gatherer, even if I am sometimes abrupt with the details. ~*~ When they give you ruled paper write sideways. ~*~ |
