Within life’s is(this immortal love
shouldn’t have been)but joyfully was
beyond barbarism’s wretched hoopla
between time’s gobbledygook of because
Not shoddy(jaded)mentally faded
ifs chattering through imaginable maybes
Not ordinarily common in obdurate rigidity
witless whens and wishwashy crazies
Not apathetically apart from pristine forever’s nows
Not merely immersed in cool November’s leafy falling
though blind gravity pulls the weeping rain down
pompous and proud in its feigned bawling

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.

Clever use of words today Tom! Your prose is always thought provoking. I believe I’ll have a second cup of coffee and ponder just a bit longer. 🙂
I thank you, Lori, and all the Bambies of the world thank you! 🙂
Nicely written and I like your treatment of photo 2 particularly 🙂
Thank you, Scifi! 🙂 Our warm weather is leaving tonight, as it is getting colder and is raining… or should i say “bawling”?!
Oh dear. 🙂
I can only agree with littlesundog, Thomas. Have a nice day, regards Mitza
Thanks, Mitza! 🙂 Your kind words are very appreciated… especially here in “indifferent land)!
Nicely expressed, Tom…
Beautiful rose!
Thank you, Amy! 🙂 Tonight we are getting freezing temperatures and rose flowers will have to wait for spring.
The words of your poem formed such wonderfully rhythmic music in my mind as I was reading them. Love the vibrant colour in your images too.
Thank you, Karen! Much appreciated! 🙂
smiling to the nature
of this
reality, Tom 🙂
Thank you, David! 🙂
