Being Alive

If there is an art to writing or poetry, it comes from the heart not what you see, and all lifes troubles and happiness, are all laid bare, more or less, thats a wonderful gift given to few, the ability to express the real you, in words and thymes, to let it all go, especially in these trying times, I read your words and try to see, understand the meaning what it could be, its sometimes encoded, but its all I need to imagine its me!
So, I'll mention a few, Abby1963, thank you for being complimentary to me, and EXRED3, Just like Abby your comments were nice to see, then we have Oceanzest, so hard to rhyme, I'll take a rest, before I compliment him on his poetry, well done you three.
And soutmiamia4321, I reflect on your comments,well done.
So, this is just to acknowledge you all, and if I dont comment,I'm homeless again, didn't pay my rent. (just joking) There's more that I missed, ,,,,,,,,,,, so,,, I'd like to thank mr and mrs ,,,,,,,,, for getting me here,,, winning this award is just soo special to me,,,I'd like to thank my family,,, Joe Bloggs, the bus driver who let me off outside, its all been a great ride.
Bye for now, see you again, beam me up Scotty,,,,,,,,,,Scotty,,,?,,,where did you go Scotty?,,,


Postcript: This speech did not use any Que cards, I am solely responsible,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Scotty?,,,Scotty?,, where the hell are you?,, get me outta here quick!

Hope springs eternal!

So, we are here today, where were we yesterday? Before we were born where were we? Cultivated in our mothers tummy!,,, So, where were we before the "act" we cant remember thats a fact, and where will we be when we cant see, back to the start? Hear the beat of our mothers heart? Then start again, a new creation? (lets hope we build a better nation)

A question of difference!

What's the difference, between life and existence? If I shoot myself in the head, do I spend the rest of my life dead? Is that impossible? An illusion? or a Cotard delusion?
Do we exist because we are alive?, or are we alive just because we exist?
Now quantum mechanics finds it so...it does not matter where we go,. the quantum superposition is not a superstition, it shows where we are at, its, well, Schrödinger's cat.
Ok?

When your number is up!

I don't want to play this numbers game, life has changed, its not the same, only yesterday I was 2 and 1, where the hell has that gone?, Woke up today, what can I say, I'm now 6 and 1, that didn't take long, so I suppose tommorrow will be the same for you and me, I wonder , can we deduct 2 or 3, or minus -- it all, before we fall, into negative equity, unfortunately, its not up to you or me. The End.

I see the light!

That shining light up in the sky, appears, then disappears as clouds pass by, and life down here, is lost in fear, tomorrow may never be here, for humankind all could be lost, one man , can, change it all, we stand or we fall, unite to the rallying call, fight, or flight ,but let it go then we disappear, when we give in to rational fear, but that shining light will reappear, whether or not we are still here, everything goes on, and on and on, we are but nothing in the big picture, but in the small picture, well, there's a shining light to brighten my night.

I am!

So, I'm an old oak tree, frostbitten, snowed over, windswept and left to be be!.. Seen and then forgotten. BUT young elves have played at my feet, swong from my arms, lovers lost in bliss, underneath my leaves, held in my arms, but they did not know, ,,,,,,that I know, that I am!

I woke!

I woke today, just like yesterday, but with winters rain against my window pane, on this summers day, was wrong!, , no sunlight shadow crossed my bedroom there, no birdsong noone to care, and the light would dim, lie down and die, forsaken who? you or I? brave we stand, hand in hand, with those who care, are always there, and tomorrow will be, with or without you or me.

See!

What do you see through your eyes? Is it differnt to mine?, Is the world conspiring or just fine? Do you believe the world is round?, alien invasion? what have you found? so, we think we are right, always, day or night, you say that, I say this, then we eventually dismiss, and pretend we know, agree?, its all a show! In the end, its not you, its not me, we just dont know.

Just a thought-

So where did you find Jesus? Hiding in a tree? away from you and me? Until you tracked him down, and then,,, what? The rain stopped?, the sun came out?, you won the lottery?,your car turned into a new mercedes? your bank account found new zeros?,,,, in the right direction, and all was right in the world? Imagine he died for our sins,, a long time ago, why, oh why are we then not sin free? It's obvious God made a mistake, he sent his son to die, for nothing, bad bad mistake! Ok, nothing rhymes, its just we live in different times, and what made sense two years ago, dont work today with what we know, our world has changed, like it or not, close your eyes and memorize, its not what you've forget, It's how you will live and what you will let,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,impede on your being, on what you are seeing, on how you create, just remember, its never too late, to be you!!!!!

The days of now!

So, the ruling few have been bitten in the a** by one of their own, what will they do now? Oh they cant believe nor comprehend, how this will go or how it will end, Putin screwed them, now hes not their friend, time to regroup, hes not in their loop.
They were happy to play the game all along, now its over, its all gone.
People can see, that the powers that be, are only interested in, well, not you or me.
Ukraine stands up and heros all, they fight for their country until they fall, as the west stands by with not much to say, along with the powerful USA, WE are behind you one and all, we just cant intervene or answer you call.
We can send you supplies, promises and lies, and wait until all of you DIES!
So we sacrifice our brother for the safety of each another?, I dont agree, I will never see, how that could be, RIGHT.

WONDERING!

And I wonder, if love songs didn't make you sad, and life didn't make you mad, if life was perfect how would you be?
And I wonder, if tomorrow was the end of it all, how would you be? what would you do? Its all a question of love and life, oh yes, it is, what would we miss, without you, without me, nothing to see.
And I wonder, where we can go from here?, tell me where?
I just wonder, from here? to there? to where?
Just wondering!
