The Cloud
A small ship, an old ship Scarred relic of past wars That young sailors never knew That old sailors never forget, She sails now with tattered dignity From one sad port to another Doing tasks her younger sisters, Still flower-fresh in shipyard paint, disdain. Even the waters she sails are ignored by ...
Re: crazy
It's not craziness, it's bachelorhood.

Re: Butterfly
According to poet Robert Browning,
"Ah, but a man's reach should exceed his grasp, Or what's a heaven for?"

Doves' Shadows
three doves' shadows cross
the dirt road ahead of us

Leaves Fall
leaves escaping trees
race their shadows to the ground
in the morning light
race their shadows to the ground
in the morning light
Butterfly
Butterfly, valiant butterfly
With each stroke of fragile wings
An inch closer to your goal
To reach the sun
Keep on with hope
And at the end be spared
Knowing the futility
Of your journey
With each stroke of fragile wings
An inch closer to your goal
To reach the sun
Keep on with hope
And at the end be spared
Knowing the futility
Of your journey

Hi, this is beekaay, formerly beekay. Last week, my memory sprung a leak and my original password vaporized. I tried several time to reset my password but the system wouldn't accept the password emailed to me. So, this is a workaround...

Loneliness
Loneliness is not An old man on a park bench But an empty park bench In the rain. Loneliness is not The empty gaze Of a stranger, but A lover who looks at you With the eyes of a stranger. Loneliness is not The dim street lamp On the darkest corner Until she stands under it Waiting In the yellow cir...
