POEM OF THE DAY
Love's Loneliness

Old fathers, great-grandfathers,
Rise as kindred should.
If ever lover's loneliness
Came where you stood,
Pray that Heaven protect us
That protect your blood.

The mountain throws a shadow,
Thin is the moon's horn;
What did we remember
Under the ragged thorn?
Dread has followed longing,
And our hearts are torn.

Sisters Of Mercy

Oh the sisters of mercy, they are not departed or gone.
They were waiting for me when I thought that I just can't go on.
And they brought me their comfort and later they brought me this song.
Oh I hope you run into them, you who've been travelling so long.

POEM OF THE DAY - MEMBER POEM
Three Months

In shadows cast by the whispered moon,
where secrets linger, hearts in tune,
a fleeting glance, a trembling sigh,
in three short months, I learned to fly.

The world outside may rush and race,
But in your Heart, I've found my place.
Through fleeting time, my dreams are great,
in three short months, I found gentle grace.

QUOTE OF THE DAY

'Jealousy is the outcome of one's own sense of ineptitude. It leads to dislike and hatred and does more harm to those who have it than on whom it is directed!

POEM OF THE DAY
"It Will Not Change"

It will not change now
After so many years;
Life has not broken it
With parting or tears;
Death will not alter it,
It will live on
In all my songs for you
When I am gone.

POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM
Another Life

Women spend the afternoon squatting on the porch,
picking lice from each other's hair.
They spend the evening feeding the little ones,
lulling them to sleep in the glow of the bottle lamp.
The rest of the night
they offer their back to be slapped and kicked by the men of the house
or sprawl half-naked on the hard wooden cot.
Crows and women greet the dawn together,
the women blowing into the oven to start the fire,

Thoughts Of Death

I have never been afraid of dying
Coming to think about it
That's scarier than the thought of dying
Not that I'm religious or anything
I don't really know why I'm not scared of death
Is it because I have nothing to lose
Or because it wouldn't make difference if I did die
Have I really not gained anything from all these years of living
I'm I not important to anyone
Is nobody scared of losing me

QUOTE OF THE DAY

I was raised Christian, my wife was raised Buddhist, and our children 'CONFUSED'

POEM OF THE DAY
Alone

From childhood's hour I have not been
As others were; I have not seen
As others saw; I could not bring
My passions from a common spring.
From the same source I have not taken
My sorrow; I could not awaken
My heart to joy at the same tone;
And all I loved, I loved alone.
Then- in my childhood, in the dawn
Of a most stormy life- was drawn
From every depth of good and ill
The mystery which binds me still:
From the torrent, or the fountain,
From the red cliff of the mountain,
From the sun that round me rolled
In its autumn tint of gold,
From the lightning in the sky
As it passed me flying by,
From the thunder and the storm,
And the cloud that took the form
(When the rest of Heaven was blue)
Of a demon in my view.
...

POEM OF THE DAY - MODERN POEM
Alone

Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.

POEM OF THE DAY - MEMBER POEM
Beside The City

Beside the city
River is running to meet sea,
Mountain for touching sky,
Bee for taking honey
Birds are flying high.
Snail on the leave of tomatoes
Sucking flower glaring butter fly,
Numberless cricket coming far off
Burning and one by one die.
Green fields full of crops,

...

QUOTE OF THE DAY

The lips of peace bring joy to all.
