Solstice thru New Years 2009 Light-the-World Jam
Here is the Jam Announcement. Please use this thread for the jam.
Additional threads posted to this forum will be moved to another location.
This jam will feature the paintings of Garry Merola (gmart)
as banners at the top of the page. Thank you, Garry!
_______________________
And so we are here again, once more
the day when the sun is the farthest
from the equator and the way the earth
sits atilt on its axis causes more darkness
than light. But right at the very time
we arrive, light begins to seep through a
newly opened blind, our days become longer,
our bond stronger, our recognition of life cycles
renewed! And we will jam until the year is new!
Welcome to the
Solstice through New Years Light-the-World Jam!
Bring your open spirits, your poetic voices, your choice to post
cadence, meter, image, thought or insight!
Celebrate the season! Join in the light
from dawn to dawn! Jam on!

i lit the candles on the hearth,
the candles on the table,
the candles on my night stand,
bathroom candles, scented
candles, candles to light the
hall from room to room.
When you didn't show up,
I waxed poetic, wrote three
songs, two poems and a
sarcastic lyric about joining
the circus of doom.
It was quite a night.
After I wrote, I ate a lovely meal
by candlelight, read a good book
and listened to some jazz tracks.
Wax is never wasted, neither is light.
Thanks, you bastard, for standing me up.
I hope you had a lousy night.
.........
LOL!!! heh... i guess i'm in an odd mood, eh?
hey mudshark! great to see you! long time!

Re: eyes cream for the blind
on the bright side
the candle abides
to set a lovely
atmosphere,
light reflective
each flicker a beat
of hearts in unison
.... oh yeah.. ride on!

It's 19 degrees. Wind with gusts up to
45 miles an hour. Wind chill factor
makes it feel somewhere between
a cool negative 5 and a balmy,
mild and pleasant zero degrees.
This post is written in Fahrenheit.
If I had to translate this poem into Celsius,
it might feel even colder because the
numbers would be lower.
The good news is the weather doesn't
control the heart. Keep a warm heart.
That will help us all stay warm.
And wear gloves, for God sake.

the color of loneliness is also white
as you choose to define it
in light-space, white is the combination of all colors
but when painted on the heart
white, like cold, is the absence of color
the absence of warmth
and while the solstice is a pagan conversation
or a measurement for astrologers
I strike my flint to the cold of winter
close is the color of fire
