Diamonds
Diamonds
on lonely walk did I find
such sparkling diamonds
upon a midnight pond
an' tho I gathered all
placing each diamond
into my pockets bare
I found upon returning
to my lowly home, only
wet pockets did I have
for the diamonds were
but star shine lying softly
upon the still waters
and such has been my life
Steppenwolf
The lone wolves who know no peace, these victims
of unceasing pain to whom the urge for tragedy has
been denied and who can never break through the
starry space, who feel themselves summoned hither
and yet cannot survive in it's atmosphere---for them
is reserved, provided suffering has made their spirits
tough and elastic enough, a way of reconcilement and
an escape into HUMOR. -- Steppenwolf, Hermann Hesse
Being A Frog
Word Of Wisdom for the Day
often is the time I see folk
who would rather be a big frog
within their small pond, than to
loose themselves in the ocean
that is life beyond their pond
Thoughts On A Winter's Night
Thoughts
winning doesn't last forever
and loosing can take oh so long
falling comes easy at times
but the climb back up takes soul
courage comes and courage goes
but the need, the must, is always there
