 On the Threshold for 12/31/00 and my thoughts take me to the verge of merge from one day to the next always a promise a nonstop newness a beginning of neoteric (question tho, where's the missing cleric?) Ah, the sun shall dawn on resolution and rousing constitution on my comrades and my peers and in their quiet I'll hear their cheers… this crossing over… a mark of time indeed… how many have crossed a century mark before how many would then heed the tapping on new door and wonder then, "what ever more?" trepidation shall be gone I've lived on and on and long and thirty years ago my mind then did not know that the crossing over in time would allow me to unwind such as I have alongside of you my dear, we shall propel us through…. my dreams shall carry us into the future of the light and I fear not an uneasy ride no, I fear nor dread nor hide, for my soul is bright the hoopla was all last year and this inspiring year we've now had ~ have given us times of joy and given us times of sad then some days have given some of us a revelation and these promises portend that the good times plighted will certainly not end thus reason for celebration! so veer with me on the verge of merge on these the last days the minutes and hours before us lay ticking down, quiet-like and will take us to the new dawn's light so to you, my dearest friend, my comrade, my beloved, hearken that you might hear, enjoy this then your new century and peace be in your New Year…. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

karilea- reminded me of jimmy buffett... he said he had "the urge to merge"... and was looking for a "smart lady in a real short skirt"... or was that a "short lady in a real smart skirt"? oh geez... i get my lyrics mixed up... anyway... loved this poem... it's quite a look at a year past and a year forward but i was just wondering... do we HAVE to do another one??? i mean... is there ANY way you can wave a magic wand or something or make your words cause a better year next year?... sighsighsigh... well, one sighs fits all... but anyway... 2000 wasn't all that bad... i got rid of deadweight, started a new life, fell in love, and all that good stuff... and here i am still... tapping away... tap tap tap... *sigh* great write, k.... happy new year, my friend!!! |

A poem of hope and anticipation for the new year...as it should be. It's like the fable of the man approaching a new city who asks an old man sitting on a rock "What kind of people live down there? The old man asked "What kind of people were in the town you left?" "Oh, they were loud, arrogant, mean people", to which the old man said "The people here will be the same." Shortly thereafter another traveler came up and asked the old man the same question. "What kind of people were in the town you left?" the old man asked him. The newcomer replied "They were very kind, generous and giving" and the old man replied You will find the same here." I guess I'm taking a very roundabout way of saying that the way we view things influence greatly the way they will turn out. If we look at the new year coming with hope and enthusiasm and a promise of good fortune in store it is much more likely to come true than viewing it as "just another year". Allow me to join you in your enthusiasm, sunshine |

Charisma, I think you need to read 'Deer's reply...he has all of the answers... Kit, glad I could supply an answer, I guess I heard your call...ESP is quite inexpensive, and always most accurate...hugs to you, be well, and call on me when you need me... 'Deer, you might use your roundabout ways more often...I love sharing parables and stories...and yes, Sir, please join in my enthusiasm...it is freely given... thank you much Noah for your enthusiasm as well!... Nate, kind thoughts and remarks, thank you!... |
