"Be, in this immeasurable night, magic power at your sense's crossroad, be the meaning of their strange encounter. And if the earthly has forgotten you, say to the still Earth: I flow. To the rapid water speak: I am." -

Yellow Roses - Anniversary Poem

You didn't ask why I love you / nor did the flowers weep / pools of envy / for what they might have been. / And that's it, isn't it? / Not wanting to be another, / with another, / somewhere over the next / r

The Power of Three Ho's

When I don my red hat
and lace up my boots
I know that my Ho's
aren't far behind

With a bounce in my step
I stare down old coots
who think I'm insane
and out of my mind

Spiritless holidays
are like trains with no toots
so I traipse through the street
helping people unwind

Until I am captured
by the studs in white suits
I'll shout out my HO HO's
to all of mankind

HO HO HO
HO HO HO

Merry Christmas to you and yours

Hey, I was looking at the comments on a person's poem and I read what your motto said, and I totally agree with it. I read a poem once refering to that, I can't remember the name but I think one of the lines went, "on your first breath of life, you take your first step to death." something along those lines was what it said, I can't remember exacly.
