The Quotes Garden - VI – O, Muse!..
"The Quotes Garden"
[ VI ]
O, Muse!..
“O, Muse! Thou Art, hath gave thy Soul,
As Lore finds way of all, to be
What folds within the one that bends
A dream, apart – as what departures whole?..
By knot, conceives A-Onothingness in thee
- And where’s not if O-Anoticeness holds ends?!..
O, Muse! Thy Soul, knead beats, where’s Pulse
To human world, a mystery, adheres to be
- As all they ever knew, rely on paths;
To follow, or to lead, hath use! Avulse,
Not more than less, nor such as rise in thee
What seed it is within a tree. Thy Soul, enwraps,
And stirs the echo where thou art impulse!.. “

The Quotes Garden©Th3Mirr0r
My Soul (Paloma Challenge)
My soul seeks its final destination
Is ataraxia so far beyond my vision?
This journey has taken me so long
Psiturism, I sit and await your song
I look upon the clouds of Nacreous pearl
Is my destiny so linked to Cosmogyral?
Do the storms of nature rule my future?
Aeolian! Aeolian!
Let your soothing breath sooth my suture
How long can I live in reminiscence
Am I not to find that eternal bliss?
I know I have scorned to be reverent
But are not my passions so less fervent
Yet the tenuous threads that bind my sin
Seem to me to remain ever gossamer thin
Is ataraxia so far beyond my vision?
This journey has taken me so long
Psiturism, I sit and await your song
I look upon the clouds of Nacreous pearl
Is my destiny so linked to Cosmogyral?
Do the storms of nature rule my future?
Aeolian! Aeolian!
Let your soothing breath sooth my suture
How long can I live in reminiscence
Am I not to find that eternal bliss?
I know I have scorned to be reverent
But are not my passions so less fervent
Yet the tenuous threads that bind my sin
Seem to me to remain ever gossamer thin

"The Quotes Garden"
[ V ]
Behold! Arise!..
“Behold! Thy Lore, to human world,
One shares! A breath of wind,
Hath fold an oar within a word
Which dwells amidst’ eternal curled,
- But where’s?!.. The very tone hath thinned
And trembling arches mould a silent sword
Which cuts all lies that have been told!..
Behold! Thy Lore, to human world,
That thrives above! And all they ever knew,
Is what a chord when touches, melts,
From highest peaks, till underworld!..
- What love?!.. O, rise, like odes that strew
The dreams of few! Like starry sky, conveying belts!.. “

online today!I Believe In Freedom
When I’m laying next to you
It's hard to catch my breath
When we both lay it all out
Like this next to each other
Raising our dreams above us
Believing in the clouds of luck
Our good fortune linked together
And the rest you know already
Be it laid down on its knees
I would rather doubt complete
Why do people take the oath
When they refuse to compete
It all begins with you my dear
You are so special in my heart
Because I believe in freedom
I’ll respect you from the start
It's hard to catch my breath
When we both lay it all out
Like this next to each other
Raising our dreams above us
Believing in the clouds of luck
Our good fortune linked together
And the rest you know already
Be it laid down on its knees
I would rather doubt complete
Why do people take the oath
When they refuse to compete
It all begins with you my dear
You are so special in my heart
Because I believe in freedom
I’ll respect you from the start

About this poem:
Say it ain't so Josey…...
“Suffer the little children to come unto me..”Matt.:19-14
Uvalde mass killings.
“Suffer” them but do not make them,
Suffer harm, agents of mayhem.
Life or guns the ultimatum,
Daughters, sons, will no one save them?
Wingless angels, blood and guts,
Carnage of the guns influx,
“Thoughts and prayers” are not enough,
“Deeply saddened” be rebuffed!
Abhorrent is the masquerade,
Some danced with wolves as children played, No laws preventing harm were made, No fathers arms for child afraid.
You whose heart is bulletproof,
Come and see what bullets do,
Bone and flesh like liquid oozed,
You unmoved are wicked too!
All nineteen children left for dead,
By nineteen men that made a pledge,
They would not cower, would not hedge,
These men will die a thousand deaths.
Blue lives mattered more than those,
Browner kids don’t fit the mold,
They don’t matter tags for toes,
Script unravelled lies exposed!
Yellow men some dressed in blue,
Have fetishized the Devils’ tools,
They’ve never once played by the rules.
They play the rest of us for fools!
“Locked doors” won’t stop mass casualties, “Good guys with guns” the fallacy, afraid of unarmed blacks and shadows, harshest judgement prison, gallows?
What must be the penalty,
When duty shirked makes many grieve?
For them what respite, what relief?
Glad heirs that rest on Fathers’ knee.

About this poem:
I know it’s late but I had to say something. I hear responsible gun owners and the majority of Americans want gun legislation that prevents this daily occurrence.Lawmakers must do better. Were it their own kids dying they would do something Yesterday! Inflation, the economy are important but people are dying senselessly. This cannot be ignored!
The Quotes Garden - IV – Pale Moon
"The Quotes Garden"
[ IV ]
Pale moon
“I share my thoughts, with my beloved moon,
Alike a breath of wind, with silver leaves,
Who twists thy dreams, so soon...
And drops of sorrow, beneath the sleeves
Still trembling, in the night, amidst the tune
Who fills my grief, with silent heaves,
Embracing howls of trees, into the moon
Along with copper statues, over dusty sheaves...
O, my beloved, pale moon!..
I lay my soul, upon your silver grave
In which I find my peace, so soon...
And yet – I’ll be the only slave
Of silent wind, when cries of loon
Will tell you I was brave -
And thus along my path, their tune,
Amidst the faded dreams I could not save!..”

online today!Meaning & Value of Life
How indeed fragile and precious life is ...
A thing that covid, whether we like it or not,
has emphasized and brought out to the fore....
One day here then, all too,quickly ,gone tomorrow...
ourself or a precious someone , gone forevermore...
Which makes it obviously important
that we value life while we can
and with our heart, let our loved ones know...
For all these can be gone
almost in the blink of an eye ,
without ever fully comprehending about the why...
So every chance we can,
let us take it to say, do, and show
how much we appreciate the life we have and know ,
with all its blessings and challenges
and all the "for better or for worse" changes ...
How much we love the people closest to us ,
who have been there through the passing of time ,
through all kinds of weather ...
stormy or fine ...

Parade
Get there an hour and a half before the parade starts at 9:30
Gather my cell phone, digital recorder, Nintendo DS, book on Nam and crime
Pop and water, kettle popcorn, beef sticks, and candy cigarettes
Watch the soldiers, police, marching bands walk and ride by
See Travis Tranel (who is running unopposed) campaign for reelection
Watch the candy, cheese( Dairy Days Parade) and rainbow flags given out
See the kids scramble for all the candy
Post a pic of a smartee candy and another crushed under many tires
This is your candy
This is your candy on drugs
Any questions?

About this poem:
I try to go to every Dairy Days Parade and sometimes I get to go to the Belmont parade. My next parade will be in WI Dells next Sunday. I will go the Homecoming Parade here in town for the university on October 15.online today!It Does Matter ....
What does it matter what I want
if I can't have it anyway...
Because to keep on wanting something
is one more good reason
to wake up with hope every morning...
Because to live but stop wanting anything
is almost akin to cease on truly living ...
to surrender to the challenges of life,
and go through it without meaning ...
Some who may suffer the void of loneliness may say...
What does it matter what I want
if I cant have it anyway ...?
But then, perhaps not just yet...
maybe later when the time is right..
with the right person
so no more sadness & regret ...
I feel, as long as you believe
your heart's in the right place
and unselfishly caring ...
Regardless of the empty space beside you...
it DOES matter what you want
as long as you know, deep in you,
that you're truly deserving
in the same measure
you can give back all that loving ....

About this poem:
Inspired by the ff. lines I heard while watching a youtube video, that I've now forgotten what it was so can't provide the reference here anymore...." What does it matter what I want ... when I can't have it "?
South Sudan
I looked up the poorest country in the world
It is South Sudan
It is located in Africa
I think of the homeless here
They are poor too
I saw a homeless person looking at the menu in the Hardee's drive thru
I'm sure he has access to food at the food bank
But
I know he would rather have some good food
Then there was the guy living in his car parked by the library
I wonder if he was hot as a car can get really hot on a summer day
Then I think of Elon Musk, the richest man in the world
Is it fair for one man to have 254 billion, and another to starve?
They say it is easier for a camel to pass thru the eye of a needle
Than for a rich man to enter heaven
I'm sure with his wealth, Elon will just make a bigger needle
