The Sunday Muse # 188

 

 

on the train to nowhere

homeless

beats sleeping

under a bridge

Earthweal

 and the rains came

and did not stop

and ruined the crops

and ruined the harvest

and ruined the roads

and ruined the houses

and ruined lives

and when it finally stops

we can begin to prepare for the bush fires

o for the country life

Sunday Whirligig

 

 

 they were having fun

enjoying the feast

plates of baked potatoes

turkey on bread rolls

lots of wine 

all laid out on a damask tablecloth

and just like in the story book and movies

John Travolta sidled over to their table

and said hey girls could you mind

this bundle of cash for me

i gotta get on stage now

Helen said no but we wouldn't mind a dance

with you

Both Helen and Bev look decades younger

not at all wrinkled... hot chicks

he called her bluff and said ok 

but do you know the steps?

luck would have it they were very easy

and repetitive steps

yes...we're professional dancers she said

and the rest is history  

 

(any resemblance to any person alive or dead is not coincidental and purely intentional:)

 

 

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Thanksgiving for Two" by Marjorie Saiser: feast, plates, potatoes, rolls, bundle, tablecloth, bluff, storybook, wrinkled, wine, decades, luck

 

 

 

Schubert: Fantasie in F minor - Lucas & Arthur Jussen ...For The Weekend.

 

they may look like

 a couple of surfie boys

you see hanging about Bondi

but when these brothers play

all the angels smile 

the heart spills over

and we feel the presence

of  something other out there

in the beyond

   Earthweal Open Link Weekend # 94

Arthur Jussen - Schubert Impromptus Opus 90 No.2+3

 

 praising is what matters

 gratitude is what matters  more

imagine experiencing awesome beauty and wonder

no sunsets or mountains required

possible in a locked room

even prostrate in a hospital bed 

no one can take it away from you

and when the finger tips no longer work

it's all between the ears

dazzling in the mind

needed... a classical musical education

from a very early age

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Deo Gratias

Wordle # 267... MLMM

at the stroke of midnight 

 she will be made redundant 

 after all those years 

 feeling a bit scared and sad 

 maybe she will settle for a better fit 

with less pay in another job

 the workplace is very competetive and she is not young

 fortunately she has squirrled away a few dollars 

 will have to back pedal on the life style a bit

 complaining wont achieve anything 

 maybe she should open a pie shop 

 that would be awesome

 

 

 

 

 stroke redundant scared settle compete squirrel fit pedal complain awesome sad pies

Centennial Park

 no one around

my favourite lake

centennial park yesterday

just lovely
