I Know Their Meanings

I hear
The language of trees
The words of water
The voice of air. . . .
And I know their meanings.

Thank you Great One.

I see
The writings of wind
The painting of clouds
The art of breathe. . . .
And I know their meanings.

Thank you Majestic One.

I feel
The emotions of a storm
The touch of dew
The drama of existing. . . .
And I know their meanings.

Thank you Splendid One.

Ithink that there will be no swimming, today, as I seem to have pulled a muscle in my back washing my dog Morisson, yesterday. I have some old friends of mine joing me here on Crack Book, which is a great thing, but I want to warn them that I post a lot, and they might be best off to categorize me as an "acquaintence," rather than as a "close friend," so that I don't clog up their stream!! It is always nice to keep friends as friends.

#1 on the charts but...

He went to rehab
but checked himself out.
He died of complications
due to a malfunctioning liver.
He made great music,
but his booze got him.
I can only imagine the pain
that he lived in, having
lived that type of existence
myself when I was younger.

Shame on you

You shame easily
The Nuns and Priests
have done their job.
You'll never steal from
them, and if you do
you'll confess it in a
booth, sometime before Sunday.
