"Shelter From The Storm" I was in another lifetime one of toil and blood When blackness was a virtue and the road was full of mud I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". And if I pass this way again you can rest assured I'll always do my best for her on that I give my word In a world of steel-eyed death and men who are fighting to be warm "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Not a word was spoke between us there was little risk involved Everything up to that point had been left unresolved Try imagining a place where it's always safe and warm "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". I was burned out from exhaustion buried in the hail Poisoned in the bushes and blown out on the trail Hunted like a crocodile ravaged in the corn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Suddenly I turned around and she was standing there With silver bracelets on her wrists and flowers in her hair She walked up to me so gracefully and took my crown of thorns "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Now there's a wall between us something there's been lost I took too much for granted got my signals crossed Just to think that it all began on a long-forgotten morn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Well the deputy walks on hard nails and the preacher rides a mount But nothing really matters much it's doom alone that counts And the one-eyed undertaker he blows a futile horn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". I've heard newborn babies wailing like a mourning dove And old men with broken teeth stranded without love Do I understand your question man is it hopeless and forlorn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". In a little hilltop village they gambled for my clothes I bargained for salvation and they gave me a lethal dose I offered up my innocence and got repaid with scorn "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Well I'm living in a foreign country but I'm bound to cross the line Beauty walks a razor's edge someday I'll make it mine If I could only turn back the clock to when God and her were born "Come in" she said "I'll give you shelter from the storm". Bob Dylan
Colors Colors Eyes closed, I am surrounded by serene black as it tip toes around me. Rested, I open my eyes and I am, enveloped by the sun kissed blue. As I lift my head from the pale glow sand, I gain sight of the quiet, thundering green. A smile begins to form on my face. I turn to my left to see the ever lasting you, There and then I realize, The colors of my life are complete.
"The Fenn Treasure is a treasure reportedly worth $1-3 million hidden by art dealer and writer Forrest Fenn in the Rocky Mountains. As of 2015, Fenn has stated that to his knowledge it is still not found." The Thrill of the Chase by Forrest Fenn As I have gone alone in there And with my treasures bold, I can keep my secret where, And hint of riches new and old. Begin it where warm waters halt And take it in the canyon down, Not far, but too far to walk. Put in below the home of Brown. From there it’s no place for the meek, The end is ever drawing nigh; There’ll be no paddle up your creek, Just heavy loads and water high. If you’ve been wise and found the blaze, Look quickly down, your quest to cease, But tarry scant with marvel gaze, Just take the chest and go in peace. So why is it that I must go And leave my trove for all to seek? The answers I already know, I’ve done it tired, and now I’m weak. So hear me all and listen good, Your effort will be worth the cold. If you are brave and in the wood I give you title to the gold. "In January 2015, Fenn revealed in a new interview: "I know the treasure chest is wet." https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fenn_treasure
Amanpour interviewed Ted Turner recently - her best ever program* I think. At one point, while explaining why he studied the classics at Brown, he began to quote a poem I did not know called, "Horatius at the Bridge." Read it all at: http://www.bartleby.com/360/7/158.html And if you do, you will read it several times more, as I did. It is very long and the language some what strange - It is ~170 years old. A vast army, 10s of thousands of warriors, were about to cross the Tiber and sack Rome that eve. The threat is described, the Council discusses, but all seems hopeless. Here is the part Ted quoted: Then out spake brave Horatius, The Captain of the gate: “To every man upon this earth Death cometh soon or late. And how can man die better Than facing fearful odds For the ashes of his fathers And the temples of his gods, ... “Hew down the bridge, Sir Consul, With all the speed ye may; I, with two more to help me, Will hold the foe in play. In yon strait path a thousand May well be stopped by three: Now who will stand on either hand, And keep the bridge with me?” Then out spake Spurius Lartius,— A Ramnian proud was he: “Lo, I will stand at thy right hand, And keep the bridge with thee.” And out spake strong Herminius,— Of Titian blood was he: “I will abide on thy left side, And keep the bridge with thee.” ...

Turner is a very remarkable man - all should know his deeds.
I saw a bird upon the snow. A broken wing I did not know. I lured it close with bits of bread. And then I shot it thru the head. (Dedicated to all the gun-lovers and manly-men hunters in the US, especially the trophy hunters -- my heroes!!!)
Thanks. Now I can re-watch when I want too. I have large volume of data in memory, and don't search often or well. - Just call on memory for most of my posts. I hope others will watch this interview.
Snails breath fire from inside your minds eye. Clouds drip blood as your friends begin to die. Salads that tossed me were free of cucumber. When i think of you it makes me want to slumber.
A Dream by Edgar Allan Poe In visions of the dark night I have dreamed of joy departed- But a waking dream of life and light Hath left me broken-hearted. Ah! what is not a dream by day To him whose eyes are cast On things around him with a ray Turned back upon the past? That holy dream- that holy dream, While all the world were chiding, Hath cheered me as a lovely beam A lonely spirit guiding. What though that light, thro' storm and night, So trembled from afar- What could there be more purely bright In Truth's day-star?
“Only Death,” Pablo Neruda There are cemeteries that are lonely, graves full of bones that do not make a sound, the heart moving through a tunnel, in it darkness, darkness, darkness, like a shipwreck we die going into ourselves, as though we were drowning inside our hearts, as though we lived falling out of the skin into the soul. And there are corpses, feet made of cold and sticky clay, death is inside the bones, like a barking where there are no dogs, coming out from bells somewhere, from graves somewhere, growing in the damp air like tears of rain. Sometimes I see alone coffins under sail, embarking with the pale dead, with women that have dead hair, with bakers who are as white as angels, and pensive young girls married to notary publics, caskets sailing up the vertical river of the dead, the river of dark purple, moving upstream with sails filled out by the sound of death, filled by the sound of death which is silence. Death arrives among all that sound like a shoe with no foot in it, like a suit with no man in it, comes and knocks, using a ring with no stone in it, with no finger in it, comes and shouts with no mouth, with no tongue, with no throat. Nevertheless its steps can be heard and its clothing makes a hushed sound, like a tree. I’m not sure, I understand only a little, I can hardly see, but it seems to me that its singing has the color of damp violets, of violets that are at home in the earth, because the face of death is green, and the look death gives is green, with the penetrating dampness of a violet leaf and the somber color of embittered winter. But death also goes through the world dressed as a broom, lapping the floor, looking for dead bodies, death is inside the broom, the broom is the tongue of death looking for corpses, it is the needle of death looking for thread. Death is inside the folding cots: it spends its life sleeping on the slow mattresses, in the black blankets, and suddenly breathes out: it blows out a mournful sound that swells the sheets, and the beds go sailing toward a port where death is waiting, dressed like an admiral.

Invictus By William B. Henley (1875) Out of the night that covers me, Black as the pit from pole to pole, I thank whatever gods may be For my unconquerable soul. In the fell clutch of circumstance I have not winced nor cried aloud, Under the bludgeoning of chance My head is bloody, but unbowed. Beyond the place of wrath and tears Looms but the horror of the shade, And yet the menace of the years Finds, and shall find, me unafraid. It matters not how strait the gate, How charged with punishments the scroll, I am the master of my fate: I am the captain of my soul.
Willie saw some dynamite And couldn't understand it quite. Curiosity seldom pays, It' rained Willie seven days.
Holy Saint Chad of the irregular convocation, required lifting for effective operation, causing his superior much consternation.
Sunday Park Brightly filters sunlight through the foliage of the scarred old tree bearing knife marks Joe loves Mary, 1963 broken hearts, carved so boldly for anyone to see Sunday morning park basking in the sun flowers blooming, beetles zooming so inviting to have fun Car pulls up the parking lot slamming doors, engine hot blankets, dishes, picnic baskets on the grass that's still wet balls and bats, strung out net now we're ready, we're all set Watch it Johnnie, don't do that oh were is that catsup now Steven see, you broke the bat we need more coals, this meat is raw Oh my, I'm just too old for this I should have stayed at home mother, look, you see this bump he hit me with a stone Sunday, Sunday park blazing in the sun people bustling, children tussling all pretending to have fun Time is up, time to go it's getting onto six let's break it up, pack it in no, no, no, no more tricks we'll be back next week for sure you can count on that hurry up now, let's get going has anyone seen my hat Sunday evening park slowly sets the sun litter scattered, flowers battered all is quiet from the fun Dimly filters sunlight through the foliage of the scarred old tree bearings knife marks I love Mary, Joe is crazy, 1963 broken hearts, pierced with arrows but no one to see.
The Worm By Michael George Woodhams The worm it is a funny thing, Wriggly, brown and very thin. Travelling through the dirt all day, Not letting rocks get in the way. Settling down at night it seems, To dream his little wormy dreams, Of farmland fields to wander through, And fresh black soil on which to chew. But then he wakes when it turns day, And all he has to eat is clay Wrote this over 20 years ago Please Register or Log in to view the hidden image!
