Warrumbungles ....Earthweal ....Say The Names

Warrumbungles 

 

 no light pollution out here

 past the black stump

the warrumbungles

starfari  heaven for astrophysicists 

from all over the world

we lie on our banana beds

 touch the stars with our finger tips

and know

the  almighty is somewhere  out there

overwhelming us with far too much beauty

Spring - - Earthweal Open Link Weekend # 85

 

a springtime gift

a lovely thought

from a dear friend

faraway but

close at heart

 

 

Song: “It was a lover and his lass”

By William Shakespeare

(from As You Like It)

It was a lover and his lass,

   With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,

That o’er the green cornfield did pass,

   In springtime, the only pretty ring time,

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;

Sweet lovers love the spring.

Between the acres of the rye,

   With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,

Those pretty country folks would lie,

   In springtime, the only pretty ring time,

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;

Sweet lovers love the spring. 

This carol they began that hour,

   With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,

How that a life was but a flower

   In springtime, the only pretty ring time,

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;

Sweet lovers love the spring.

And therefore take the present time,

   With a hey, and a ho, and a hey nonino,

For love is crownèd with the prime

   In springtime, the only pretty ring time,

When birds do sing, hey ding a ding, ding;

Sweet lovers love the spring.

 maybe lifetime crumbs cicatrix mix  basking

pretend luminous proprioception tongue original last 

 

 

 

maybe

it will take a lifetime

to overcome life's cicatrix

 

settling for crumbs

while others basking

in luminous wealth

pretend there is equality

in the mix

 

being able to spell

proprioception

does not make you special

speaking in tongues

does not either

not terribly original

Yassou Koukla....Time For A Labrynth Exit

 

 

every turkish grandma 

says never trust a greek bearing gifts

especially if its a wooden horse

a big one

 

 how to exit the labrynth

 no idea

 its all greek to me and Will

 but the greeks knew the answer 

 enough dancing enough ouzo....Opa !

 the minotaur died of the alcoholic fumes and bouzouki assault

 knossus crumbled to the ground 

from the dance vibration not a volcanic eruption 

biggest greek rave party ever

 ariadne got so plastered her tunic ripped down to a thread 

 Opa !

 EARTHWEAL OPEN LINK # 82

the sensitive child

at a saturday movie matinee

shed tears

when she first heard

 the 'tubby the tuba' solo

 

 later on

when she heard this

on the wireless

one grey wintry afternoon

at her gran's house

a door opened

and stay opened

for the rest of her life
