They make me sad too not knowing what tomorrow brings???
"The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart." Far, very far, into the world of the farthest beyond My hope carries me and places me On the sweetest lap of the unknown. There i behold my self-form In the Dance-Delight of the Absolute Every Night and every Morn Some to Misery are born Every morn and every Night Some are born to sweet Delight Some are born to Endless night |

The Edge Of Eternity
by Karl Wild AKA GodsGift The word forever is often spoken, In relationships young and old, Innocent hearts are usually broken, With words that never seem to hold. Most know what I'm talking about, Some have yet to feel the pain, The mind tells you without a doubt, Nothing to lose, everything to gain. So you listen and take a chance, Forget all about flirting with disaster, Because love has you in a trance, And your heart is beating faster. To hear somebody say "I love you", Could be the greatest feeling ever known, But if those words turnout untrue, Soon enough you'll be all alone. Still it never crosses our mind, When it's all said and done we'll see, That it's harder then it looks to find, The edge of eternity "The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart." Far, very far, into the world of the farthest beyond My hope carries me and places me On the sweetest lap of the unknown. There i behold my self-form In the Dance-Delight of the Absolute Every Night and every Morn Some to Misery are born Every morn and every Night Some are born to sweet Delight Some are born to Endless night |

"To hear somebody say "I love you",
Could be the greatest feeling ever known, But if those words turnout untrue, Soon enough you'll be all alone." To entrust someone with your heart; that's one of the hardest choices in the world.

Sea Fever
-John Masefield I must go down to the seas again, to the lonely sea and the sky, And all I ask is a tall ship and a star to steer her by, And the wheel's kick and the wind's song and the white sail's shaking, And a grey mist on the sea's face and a grey dawn breaking. I must go down to the seas again, for the call of the running tide Is a wild call and a clear call that may not be denied; And all I ask is a windy day with the white clouds flying, And the flung spray and the blown spume, and the sea-gulls crying. I must go down to the seas again to the vagrant gypsy life, To the gull's way and the whale's way where the wind's like a whetted knife; And all I ask is a merry yarn from a laughing fellow rover, And quiet sleep and a sweet dream when the long trick's over. "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies? Good! It means that you stood up for something, sometime in your life." |

Sunset
- Louise Gluck My great happiness is the sound your voice makes calling to me even in despair; my sorrow that I cannot answer you in speech you accept as mine. You have no faith in your own language. So you invest authority in signs you cannot read with any accuracy. And yet your voice reaches me always. And I answer constantly, my anger passing as winter passes. My tenderness should be apparent to you in the breeze of summer evening and in the words that become your own response. "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies? Good! It means that you stood up for something, sometime in your life." |

Desiderata
- Max Ehrmann Go placidly amid the noise and haste, and remember what peace there may be in silence. As far as possible without surrender be on good terms with all persons. Speak your truth quietly and clearly; and listen to others, even the dull and the ignorant; they too have their story. Avoid loud and aggressive persons, they are vexations to the spirit. If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter; for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs; for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals; and everywhere life is full of heroism. Be yourself. Especially, do not feign affection. Neither be cynical about love; for in the face of all aridity and disenchantment it is as perennial as the grass. Take kindly the counsel of the years, gracefully surrendering the things of youth. Nurture strength of spirit to shield you in sudden misfortune. But do not distress yourself with dark imaginings. Many fears are born of fatigue and loneliness. Beyond a wholesome discipline, be gentle with yourself. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars; you have a right to be here. And whether or not it is clear to you, no doubt the universe is unfolding as it should. Therefore be at peace with God, whatever you conceive Him to be, and whatever your labors and aspirations, in the noisy confusion of life keep peace with your soul. With all its sham, drudgery, and broken dreams, it is still a beautiful world. Be cheerful. Strive to be happy. Max Ehrmann Copyright 1927 "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies? Good! It means that you stood up for something, sometime in your life." |

"To hear somebody say "I love you", Could be the greatest feeling ever known, But if those words turnout untrue, Soon enough you'll be all alone." To entrust someone with your heart; that's one of the hardest choices in the world. Noorie ORDER OF THINGS There is a rightful order found Beyond the things that seem to be, Something beneath the surface seen Hidden behind prevalent schemes. I know this fact through feelings felt in such relief that come to mind, When in life I do my bit And leave results to Spirit's will. There is a rightful order found In which Spirit our lives arrange, Giving us what we rightly earn With precision in circumstance, Designed to rhyme and meet somehow In a rightful order, time, and place. I CAN DREAM By Annabelle Aeng There's no fairy godmother To make my wish come true. No genie in a bottle to bring me to you. No prayer on a fallen star No magic potion in a jar. But i can dream and when i do. I dream that i'm there with you MY HOPE CARRIES ME Far, very far, into the world of the farthest beyond My hope carries me and places me On the sweetest lap of the unknown. There I behold my Self-form In the Dance-Delight of the Absolute. "The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart." Far, very far, into the world of the farthest beyond My hope carries me and places me On the sweetest lap of the unknown. There i behold my self-form In the Dance-Delight of the Absolute Every Night and every Morn Some to Misery are born Every morn and every Night Some are born to sweet Delight Some are born to Endless night |

Train Of Life
-=-=-=-=-=-= - Some folks ride the train of life Looking out the rear, Watching miles of life roll by, And marking every year. They sit in sad remembrance, Of wasted days gone by, And curse their life for what it was, And hang their head and cry. But I don't concern myself with that, I took a different vent, I look forward to what life holds, And not what has been spent. So strap me to the engine, As securely as I can be, I want to be out on the front, To see what I can see. I want to feel the winds of change, Blowing in my face, I want to see what life unfolds, As I move from place to place. I want to see what's coming up, Not looking at the past, Life's too short for yesterdays, It moves along too fast. So if the ride gets bumpy, While you are looking back, Go up front, and you may find, Your life has jumped the track. It's all right to remember, That's part of history, But up front's where it's happening, There's so much mystery. The enjoyment of living, Is not where we have been, It's looking ever forward, To another year and ten. It's searching all the byways, Never should you refrain, For if you want to live your life, You gotta drive the train. -ANON "Shikwa nahin kisise, kisise gila nahin,
Naseeb mein nahin tha jo - humko mila nahin.." |

"For if you want to live your life,
You gotta drive the train". That's a good philosophy 2 follow. Just be careful not 2 run over other folks who may get in your way. Thanx Dimple.

Rembrandt’s self portrait from 1669, the year of his death. Watching the last boat - Linda Gregg The crash is inside. In slow motion. Splinters in the mind’s confusion. Each evening the last boat goes across to the other island. When it is too dark to see, I watch anyhow, remembering how I wept that day in the Met over a last self-portrait by Rembrandt. The guard telling me again and again it was closing time. "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies? Good!

THINGS
Every night I sit here by my window ...window Staring at the lonely avenue ...avenue Watching lovers holdin' hands And laughin' (ha ha ha) Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do Thinkin' 'bout things Like a walk in the park ...things Like a kiss in the dark ...things Like a sailboat ride (ya ya) What about the night we cried Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do Memories are all I have to cling to ...cling to And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to ...but you got me now When I'm not thinkin' of just how much I love you .... I love you, too I'm thinkin' the things we used to do Used to do, thinkin' 'bout things Like a walk in the park ...things Like a kiss in the dark ...things Like a sailboat ride (ya ya) What about the night we cried Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' about the things we used to do I still can hear the juke box softly Playin' ...playin' And the face I see each day belongs to you Belongs to you.. But there's not a single sound And there's nobody else around But that's just me thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do We used to do, thinkin' 'bout things Like a walk in the park ...things Like a kiss in the dark ...things Like a sailboat ride (ya ya) What about the night that we cried Things like a lover's vow Things that we don't do now Thinkin' about the things we used to do And heartaches are the friends I'm talkin' to You got me thinkin' 'bout The things we used to do ...I hope so Thinkin' 'bout the things we used to do "The best and the most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen, nor touched...but are felt in the heart." Far, very far, into the world of the farthest beyond My hope carries me and places me On the sweetest lap of the unknown. There i behold my self-form In the Dance-Delight of the Absolute Every Night and every Morn Some to Misery are born Every morn and every Night Some are born to sweet Delight Some are born to Endless night |

Two should feel the same way. Only then it is worth it.

When We Two Parted
- George Byron, Lord Byron When we two parted In silence and tears, Half broken-hearted To sever for years, Pale grew thy cheek and cold, Colder thy kiss; Truly that hour foretold Sorrow to this. The dew of the morning Sunk chill on my brow— It felt like the warning Of what I feel now. Thy vows are broken, And light is thy fame: I hear thy name spoken, And share in its shame. They name thee before me, A knell to mine ear; A shudder comes o’er me— Why wert thou so dear? They know not I knew thee, Who knew thee too well: Long, long shall I rue thee, Too deeply to tell. In secret we met— In silence I grieve, That thy heart could forget, Thy spirit deceive. If I should meet thee After long years, How should I greet thee? With silence and tears. "During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act" "You have enemies? Good! It means that you stood up for something, sometime in your life." |
