"If my poetry aims to achieve anything,
it's to deliver people
from the limited ways
in which they see and feel."
- Jim Morrison
I write:
what is real, what is not,
what has been and never will be,
what should and should not be.
I write what is trapped,
searching for a voice within my heart;
but never so simply
that the heartless might understand.
I write and you read
that my moment of eternity
might not be spent alone.
Please tell me what you think of what I write - good or bad your comment are needed; but, I would prefer that you IM me privately with corrections you might think needed . Thanks Ken
“Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters
of life’s longing for itself.
They come through but not from you,
and though they are with you
they belong not to you.
You may give them your love
but not your thoughts,
for they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies
but not their souls,
for their souls dwell in the house of tomorrow,
which you cannot visit, not even in your dreams.
You may strive to be like them,
but seek not to make them like you.
For life goes not backward
nor tarries with yesterday.
You are the bow from which your children
as living arrows are sent forth.
The archer sees the mark upon the path of infinite,
and he bends you with His might
that His arrow may go swift and far.
Let your bending in the archer’s hand be for gladness;
for even as He loves the arrow that flies,
so He loves the bow that is stable.”
Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
My archer is destiny
and I do so love my arrow!
