The Pride And The Longing
One man’s ‘Old Days’
another man’s ‘New’
Chasing a memory
the pilgrim is due
One reminisces
what one only schemes
The pride and the longing
— two sides of a dream
(Ardmore Pennsylvania: June, 2025)
Shades Of Gray
Mixing wheat
with the chaff
The good
with the bad
In shadings
of gray
The truth
finds a home
Taking shape
from the whole
When shunning
both ends
Polarity’s
vanish
And clarity
— shown

The first my favorite of the two shows the difference of views is so well done in the old days for one being the new for another. The second is a favorite topic of mine in the grey between black and white. Lovely Kurt and a fave
