Living in the Shadows
L. B. Mek said:
\'Pride follows confidence
Failure to fear of success
There’s safety in the shadows
An ego to caress\'..
these words, hit home with unerring accuracy my friend..
wonderfully executed, a delectable read of poetic wisdom..
\'Smile from eyes of (blue)\'
*not the colour: but the feeling..
this be those weary blue\'s
those jazz beats, serenade
in songs of unflinching defiance;
as in Longfellow\'s, \'Psalm of Life\':
\'Tell me not, in mournful numbers,
Life is but an empty dream!
For the soul is dead that slumbers,
And things are not what they seem.
Life is real! Life is earnest!
And the grave is not its goal...\'

I was a christian, I have been a Chaplain and had the belief in the christian god. My wife had sung a praised the christian god all her life but when dementia started to take her no matter how much praying saved her and eventully she was taken - WHERE WAS THE christian GOD WHENSHE NEEDED IT.
I subsequently gave up the christian idea of god but I know that there is My God which is there for me. I now believe that organised religion is a farce and a pack of lies.
I believe Jesus existed but I look upon him as the first Hippie - make love, not war.
May your god go with you AP.

A poignant write AP.
Anyone could just chirp out: \'God loves you\'. It makes us feel sick (and we\'re sick of them too) if they are \'all OK\' and life is cosy for them, maybe in a religious cliquey group.

I can agree with this AP, if somebody had told me in 2007 that I would start to write poetry I would have just laughed at them, then in 2008 I saw an artwork that my daughter had created and I had to write about it and have never stopped writing since.

Thank you. Accidents make us more of what we become than either intention or genetics. It makes me wonder if homo sapiens are not an accidental species. Good poem.

A Little Kindness Goes a Long Way
dusk arising said:
Great, I held the door open for a middle aged lady with a young child (probably her grandchild I thought). THe lady pulled a face as she passed and quietly snarned \"chauvinist\". Hmm I thought. If chauvinism be the irrational belief that one is superior to another, I guess one of us just showed the upper hand in manners and grace there. Smiling, I continued to hold the door for the next two people to pass through undeterred.
A great message in your words today, though many are in such a single minded rush that they are unable take part, it is good to hold the door and clear the way for them too.

L. B. Mek said:
what a refreshingly positive and defiantly hopeful message, you\'ve shared!
but always good to practise
cautionary awareness of self and our surroundings
within any situation we face
see, results care little for intensions
and our actions can be misconstrued and misunderstood
so easily this days, best - then, I think
to judge any situation individually
and merit your decision making, accordingly..
(sorry for my sombre tone, just sad
when we read and see well intentioned people
naively being caught-up, in events they misjudged
assuming, goodness will prevail
without: right action, to spearhead
delivery of the results we want...!)

Brilliant,
wisdom is often identified by the distilled acuteness
of the complex message it delivers, so accessibly simple
illuminating easily: with refreshing clarity..
