I think the “coming out” from Po to Paul is quite sufficient. I wouldn’t want to see you “coming out” in your panties.
It sounds as though Phil in your team, Brian, is the Glen in ours.

Comment is about Shake off the Dust (blog)

Original item by keith jeffries

Dan,

This poem comes from the depths of many thoughts and deals with a subject which fascinates me. I have written a number of poems along similar lines. Being in this world, our impact on it in terms of whom we are and how we can make a contribution of the best we have to give, is something to ponder on.

These thoughts occur as we advance in age. Some dismiss them others seek ways to deal with them constructively. However, it is perplexing for us all. We are here for a reason and participants of a plan which our finite wisdom is unable to comprehend. This I do believe.

Thank you for this
Keith

Thank you for this. I was particularly drawn to the line "Stones do not record the passing glance or look. Only words do that". So very true.

It's 5am, sometimes it's a question of timing when it's right and the universe allows it, doors open and two people embrace again, the bonds are always there my thoughts are with you to dry your tears, I send light to your darkest dreams, God is with you my dear, God is always with you and your ancestors are too xxx

Thank you Kevin and Cathy. You are both very thoughful, sincere and honest. The dark side is essential to all our lives but we should never live in it.

It's really a wonder that I haven't dropped all my ideals, because they seem so absurd and impossible to carry out. Yet I keep them, because in spite of everything, I still believe that people are really good at heart.

I agree with Kevin, there is a soulful comfort in your poetry even the ones that delve into the dark side. Reminds me of Leonard Cohen, my favorite poet. Don’t worry, you’re on the list too, right beside him!

And it's a battered old suitcase to a hotel someplace
And a wound that will never heal
No prima donna, the perfume is on
An old shirt that is stained with blood and whiskey
And goodnight to the street sweepers
The night watchman flame keepers and goodnight, Mathilda too

You’d certainly need more than a brace, Graham. It’s 4 for a boy so I reckon a growed man would need at least half a dozen. But be careful - they’re of the Corvid family.

This flows beautifully with some amazing descriptions. It was a pleasure to read and in such contrast to a world which is ridden with pessimism and bereft of hope. My favourite line is " follow not the orders negative and vile advices".
