Read an Old Rhyme
Break a Grecian Urn
Wind up what’s called Time
Glue the Urn together
Repeat the Same Song
Mend a Broken friendship
Stay Impassioned Long

My Blog primarily consists of close-up nature photos (that I've taken locally) combined with original holistic-truth oriented prose and/or poetry involving mindfulness/awareness. I love nature and I love understanding the whole (not merely the parts and the details). I'm a retired teacher of the multiply handicapped.
I have a number of interesting hobbies, such as fossil collecting, sport-kite flying, 3D and 2D close-up photography, holography, and pets. Most of all, I am into holistic self-awareness, spontaneous insight, unconventional observation/direct perception, mindfulness, meditation, world peace, non-fragmentation, population control, vegetarianism, and green energy.

I loved this, definitely made my day and put a smile on my face. 🙂
wonderful poem and photo, Thomas
Love the poem and the picture. The first one takes on a embossed look to it.
Thanks, everyone! This poem is, of course, somewhat of a tribute to John Keats’ poem, Ode to a Grecian Urn. His poem is especially dear to me. When I was a child, I had a bedroom in an area that used to be an attic. Behind the walls of the bedroom were remnant attic spaces that contained stored items of various sorts. As a child, when I went exploring in these spaces, I would find special things now and then. However, the most unusual was a vase-like urn that had people, trees, and flute players embossed upon it. As a child, one was fascinated by it… and I sensed that it contained some sort of profound deep (secret) meaning. I was correct in what I sensed! 😉
