Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Surely some […]
I see trees of green…….. red roses too I see em bloom….. for me and for you And I think to myself…. what a wonderful world. I see skies of blue….. clouds of white Bright blessed days….dark sacred nights And I think to myself …..what a wonderful world. The colors of a rainbow…..so pretty ..in […]
Here is a revolver It has an amazing language all its own. It delivers unmistakable ultimatums. It is the last word. A simple, little human forefinger can tell a terrible story with it. Hunger, fear, revenge, robbery, hide behind it. It is the claw of the jungle made quick and powerful. It is the club […]

Had you been old I might be reconciled To see you gathered to the silent wild, Were your days darkened, weary, shattered, told, Had life with disillusion been defiled, And grief poured on your head its molten gold – Had you been old – But you were young: your faith a fire unshaken, Your hair […]
May I be an enemy to no one and the friend of what abides eternally. May I never quarrel with those nearest me, and be reconciled quickly if I should. May I never plot evil against others, and if anyone plot evil against me, may I escape unharmed and without the need to hurt anyone […]
To live content with small means; to seek elegance rather than luxury, and refinement rather than fashion; to be worthy, not respectable, and wealthy, not, rich; to listen to stars and birds, babes and sages, with open heart; to study hard; to think quietly, act frankly, talk gently, await occasions, hurry never; in a word, […]
