The End Of The Age




Lost Illusions by @ThierryTig
 







I walked Soi 10
at twilight
carrying water
and thinking
of Stephen Hawking
calling the time of death
on philosophy
and seeing a silhouette
of a young thai woman
on her balcony
in her doorway
observing me
I glanced up
three times
and her eyes
were still there

I passed thinking
of other kinds
of life forms
on other planets
understanding
the possibilities

I think reality
is so very measured
that I don't understand
how it could be an accident
but I don't believe
in some old man
in the sky
looking down on me
judgmentally,
loving me conditionally

I see the entirety
in the eyes
of each part
I see "God"
in their love


Surely this
is the end
of the age

of fear
and war
and separatism.

    So many don't know how to seperate nowadays, it's all or nothing too quickly, no rhyme or reason. Theron, this piece was truly moving and very well thought out my friend

    We are always trying to define things that can't be defined. The fear thing has got to go. I really like your message in this one.

Reasonable Words

The 5 People Who Make Life Heaven

They listen when you need to talk Talk when you need to listen They know your darkness Let you know theirs Without judgement and expectation You can talk to them about how you see things They don't get angry or anxious when you disagree Trust you enough to say what they really think Read tweets and novels Never make you beg or grovel Won't allow it Remind you that you're better than that Lay some of their burden on you Let you behind their wall Feel welcome behind yours You feel each other with heart and mind Even if you don't explain yourself  They get you You get them These are the ones that make life worth living Make you love to be alive Reflect you to you Teach and learn Some days the lead singer Some days the band These are the ones You can count on one hand (c) Ron Kennedy

Poetry Tree

I saw no birds grieve No fallen leaves No branches on the ground None made a sound It wasn’t rotten It didn’t die in a storm Capitalism came In its progress form To take one of my last  Best refuges from me I may be the only one who noticed The death of my poetry tree.
