It’s a gorgeous spring afternoon … and what am I doing? I’m sitting on my couch composing this stupid blog entry about my complete and utter lack of motivation to get outside and do anything.

I think part of my malaise today comes from reading Mama Grrrlie’s most recent blog entry on turning 39. MG [...]

THE SECOND COMING

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of [...]

TO THE LIGHT OF SEPTEMBER

When you are already here you appear to be only a name that tells of you whether you are present or not

and for now it seems as though you are still summer still the high familiar endless summer yet with a glint of bronze in the chill mornings and [...]

Video Poetry (Lullabies Edition)

FLOGGING MOLLY – DRUNKEN LULLABIES

Must it take a life for hateful eyes To glisten once again Five hundred years like Gelignite Have blown us all to hell What Savior rests while on his cross we die Forgotten freedom burns Has the Shepherd led his lambs astray to the bigot and the gun

I will remember when I brake to a stop, and a hubcap rolls [...]

my shadow plays with the wind

Video Poetry (the dream it part)

Neil Finn – Don’t Dream It’s Over

There is freedom within, there is freedom without Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup There’s a battle ahead, many battles are lost But you’ll never see the end of the road While you’re traveling with me

Hey now, hey now Don’t dream it’s over [...]

THE CHANGING LIGHT

The changing light                  at San Francisco        is none of your East Coast light                 none of your                             pearly light of Paris The light of San Francisco                         is a sea light                                        an island light And the light of fog                    blanketing the hills           drifting in at night                       through the Golden Gate [...]

SILENCE

There is a silence where hath been no sound, There is a silence where no sound may be, In the cold grave—under the deep deep sea, Or in wide desert where no life is found, Which hath been mute, and still must sleep profound; No voice is hush’d—no life treads silently, But clouds and [...]
