IT’S WHERE I AM
We are born,
and we die
I am in the middle.

Very true but surely we are a bit further along the path than the middle.
Yes - perhaps it should read: I'm at the bit in the middle - well I'm certainly at the bit of something.
A fine write and pic M. Yes, today is the first day of the rest of our lives. And it's Wednesdays today - all day, that is! Or what's left of it (which is most of it at the time of commenting here!).
Is it today all day today?
I see a cross, maybe three crosses in your picture - makes the poem profound yet simple too.
Could be - cheers Orchi.
Oh yes, it's today all day. Strange that tomorrow never comes. When it gets here, it's 'today' again. Got me baffled that one has!
And me - where's the jam?
Short and sweet I love that painting but can't say why? ww
Based on the pattern in some paving outside our apartment in Paphos - pleased it appeals Willy
Painting got me with those again beautiful colors!! (Bonnard like - eons ago I worked at Reader's Digest and the Wallaces had bought tons of artwork which was on the walls all around us - Renoirs, Dega, Monets & more - no kidding! There was a Bonnard in the entryway which is how I got to love him). The poem reminded me of On Golden Pond where Ethel says they are a nice middle aged couple and her husband replies "Ethel people don't live to be 130 years old"....... ha ha. It always made me laugh.
How I would have loved to see them. I particularly like Bonnard along with Pissaro and Sisley. Actually I'm still laughing having just written a couple of funny verses about Adam and Eve which I might post sometime - my wife, bless her, thinks I'm losing my marbles - actually I took them to a Charity shop some time ago but I can't remember which one because I don't have them any more .
Someone's been reflecting it seems. Not a bad thing at all, reflection. Clever little piece of work too. Nicely done.
Thanks Nicholas - I appreciate you taking the time to comment.
Cooeeee, is it still today?!
According to my watch it's 10 to 9 but I've got I've got it on upside down.
I've got an idea - hang on - I'll stand on my head and check it.
Well that didn't work - tried to raise my hand to see my watch and fell over.
It's a quarter-to-Spring by my watch!
Thanks Orchi - the springs broken on mine.
Michael,
It feels good to be in the middle!
A fine message within those three lines! I love the painting! Beautiful colors! Overall...AWESOME!

I absolutely love that portrait! And as for the poem, that is the truest thing I've read all day! lol
You've got to smile - thanks Christina.
