Abundance
After the harvest
Before the threshing
Under the wagon
Near the market
Deep in the autumn
Always so colourful
Never ever dull
Cause the leaves fall
Eager for his kisses

 Garuda Swoop Making Myths [11]

Shout, thunder, reach the 

Clouds; these claws shall

Firmly clasp, with agreement,

Divine leader under the sky


Mayhem shall rain, as he

Absolves to garner of all,

Abdicate to this predicament?

Who is mightier than i?


Crackling lightening, she

Calls to garuda, do not maul

My dear prince! for he is meant

To rule divinely, thats why.

NOTE:

...Shout, thunder, reach the clouds;

FROM

The Suparṇākhyāna

 The Result

Zero zilch nada

She could have worked harder

Procrastination was her game

That's what lead her to shame

When the results came in

She recognized her sin

Though shalt not play the sloth

Do not play the sloth

Let not that be your lot

A weed juts from a crevasse
A will  to survive this fragile ego shows
It will in time surprise us
Adorned with its purple hues
Short blossoming tangents cause for our smile

 123 go!

One two three, go!

Three sides to a triangle,

Third time's a charm.

A trinity of mountains,

The explorer named us Trinidad.

Land of steelpan so we transformed,

A twentieth century gift,

To a world loving music,

As much as we do.

One two three, go!

[plastic funnels from google]

 I use my plastic funnel to pour liquid from a jug into a bottle. No fuss no spills. A simple kitchen procedure can turn into a meditation of remberance.

I am smiling to myself. Why ? My granddaughter comes to mind. In her little protective days, when her dad and mum were her world.

"Gramma!" she says to me "my dad does not have strainers like that, i must tell him to get some"

Ah but they just keep growing up, with new challenges for both mum and dad


first by her mum

the teenager is scolded

also by her dad

A numbering error after post 1336, i have corrected today at 1340

“Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink nor slumber nor a roof against the rain

Edna St Vincent Millay’s poem “Love is not all.”


Maybe Just Maybe

Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink 

Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain. 

Ah! but so puissant is need of it

 It must be something necessary


Neither food, rest, nor shelter

What is it then ?

Not sustenance, not time out, not abode

Then what is it?


Maybe some DNA particle, 

Which, under the microscope spells human.

Instinctively we know it ,

I believe it is, and is crucial


“Love is not all: it is not meat nor drink 

Nor slumber nor a roof against the rain.” 

Ah! but so puissant is need of it,

It is scripturally defined.


Maybe, just maybe, 

It is the driving force of humanity's existence.

Maybe all we need to understand is,

That love is, love matters.
