Before 40 I\'m building a starship
Suresh said:

If you have reached a stage in your life, that the past is mostly mended, then all you can do is to approach those in the past that you have offended.
If they recognize your present state of mind, and are able to join you going forward, then that is just fine, but ensure that you are no longer the victim of the events of the past.
Stay strong, forty is no longer mid-life.

Yes dear friend - life is a vital gift in which to discover the traits that bring happiness ........ a starship guided by love will take its voyagers farther than far into the real purpose of living here on this beautiful earth.

Yes, be proud of what you are. The things you have overcome are your CV of qualifications to be the best human being you can be.

REgarding building that one final ship.... hmm i\'m doubtful. In my experience, before the ship is built you will want to build a slightly different one and before that one is complete another will enter you mind..... i\'m trying to say that i think it\'s a continual process.
However, some ships sink in failure. Thats just life. Best thing to do then is to turn that negative into a positive. With every ending (a negative) then there must be a new beginning (a positive). Keeping that running through life is surely a recipe for contentment/happiness.... well i hope so.

Dark and light, never two shall meet
Goldfinch60 said:

Very good very deep write Dan. That balance is there for us all and we need to find that balance.
Your travels in your life have found that balance and from that your life is becoming full of wonder and peace.

Your recognition and independence from your past is well expressed in your writings.

dusk arising said:

Do those theta and delta waves of our brain in sleep hold the gateway to reality our waking beta waves only glimpse?
More afoot here than we can perceive any further than a hint of it\'s existence.

the unity of opposites need not be opposed other than by their very existence and even then... peacefully.... very nicely composed my friend

Yes balance is all we can benefit by Dan - I love the expression i\"children of the stars\" - we are made of the same stuff so we can shine if we so wish. Keep at that struggle my friend.

when all around is dark.. one needs to delve deep within oneself to find the light that still glows there but dimly...

treat the glow kindly and it shall both warm and protect thee..... Neville

Bang on Dan
It\'s like making eggs
we can all put eggs in a pan
but make it something we want to eat
That\'s an omelet

Spot on - as an artist can see inspiration in something others dismiss so a poet can chose words that others wouldn\'t be able to put together.

You describe the reasons and essence of poetry so well here Dan - - a very fine read.

dusk arising said:

That is one lovely video. The lovely long haired German Shepherd is clearly a poet and loves to recite. The ball thing too is cleary his/her muse.

To me, content takes precedent over rhyme everytime. Rhyming simply limits the applicable words available to the poet.
However i do enjoy using rhyme for fun in lighthearted pieces.

Over the time that I have been reading your poems you have come such a long way and are arriving at your Nirvana. May that peace within always be with you.

Suresh said:

The key teaching of Buddha was - to walk the middle path and avoid extremes of all kind.
Your surroundings are at PEACE AND HARMONY, when you are at PEACE AND HARMONY.
Your writings show your true intent, so I am in support of you all the way

Powerful truths and beautifully written - a memorable read Dan.

Selfhood
dusk arising said:

Oh so very true. You have mined deep into yourself to find those words and from my experience not everyone will understand because few CAN go that deep. In my opinion you achieve a different mental state when coming to reason like this. Unfortunately, writing it down doesn\'t work in that mental state very well.
Those words accompanying your picture today are so true.
You are already there Dan. Perfect solutions don\'t exist. Compromise wins the day. Every day.

Watering Can

Good fun write with a deeper meaning, many can be watering cans who bring fresh life to others.

Suresh said:

This one is on a much lighter side
Some pings and pangs there and there, but still on a much lighter side.

Enjoyable read

Lorna said:

Delightfully zany Dan although there is a deeper sadder meaning here. I loved it. Funny too because Rain and Water seem to be the theme today for a few of us....... Brave little watering can!

Watering Can
dusk arising said:

I thought i should write u some prose
All about the new garden hose
It\'s a real upsetter
cos he waters much better
he refreshingly easily flows

but dont be dismayed Mr Dan
theres other uses fer a watering can
since it\'s been very loyal
you could fill it with soil
and plants like a nursery man
