Is there a topic I can toy with?
Is there a word game I can play?
is there a good name round here
worth destroying?
Or is there really nothing left to say?


we play with words, cast out like nets
pulled in full of seaweed and old boots
instead of love,
but do we throw the garbage back?
we cherish it and build
upon the sand of hope and maybe,
try this, try that, we do not suit
you ask too much
you just do not understand
how fragile, how sensitive i am
but I have issues...
Yes, so did Ghandi
but he sat there nonetheless
and saw it through.
So easy to give up.
To judge one taste of
an overheated cup
and call it bitter.
The best foods flower
on the tongue
in minutes, not in seconds
so why do we decide a man or woman
has no flavour in one hour? Less?
Are we not worth the time it takes
to get to know us
in our glory?
full of nuance, full of spice
that may not show until the next day
We always wear a pair of new shoes
twice!

Zellarrone1: Wise words


I have been very aware for the past two weeks that we live in an 'instant everything" world.

I do not mind waiting for my birthday, christmas etc...anticipation makes a nice sauce! (to continue the food metaphor)laugh wave conversing

Hi BB, wonderful use of words... as always! How are you? Sorry you're going through such a crap time. I wish that I could help in some way, but it's such an empty wish as distance makes any practical help impossible. Know that I am sending lots of positive thoughts your way.

So much of those very sentiments should be absorbed by every person here.
If there was ever a bit of mind that each of us should carry with us as we carry on, day to day... especially here on CS, this captures the essence of what is often forgotten.

Bajan... you never fail to leave a smile behind.
Thank you for that.
hug

Actually every good wish helps amazingly. Practically speaking, I am annoyingly self-sufficient. (I have annoyed my boss, my sister, my mother, my doctor...)

And do you know many people who go through a medical procedure trying to figure out how to write a poem about it?!?

I still don't have the answer.rolling on the floor laughing laugh rolling on the floor laughing
