Old by Paul Simon

The first time I heard ‘Peggy Sue’ I was 12 years old Russians up in rocket ships And the war was cold Now many wars have come and gone Genocide still goes on Buddy Holly still goes on But his catalog was sold First time I smoked Guess what, ‘Paranoid’ First time I heard ‘Satisfaction’ […]

When I’m 64 by John Lennon and Paul McCartney

When I get older, losing my hair, many years from now Will you still be sending me a valentine, birthday greetings, bottle of wine? If I’d been out ’til quarter to three, would you lock the door? Will you still need me, will you still feed me when I’m sixty-four? You’ll be older too Ah, […]

Catholic Bells by William Carlos Williams

Tho’ I’m no Catholic I listen hard when the bells in the yellow-brick tower of their new church ring down the leaves ring in the frost upon them and the death of the flowers ring out the grackle toward the south, the sky darkened by them, ring in the new baby of Mr. and Mrs. […]

Bookends by Paul Simon

Time it was and what a time it was, it was… A time of innocence, A time of confidences, Long ago it must be, I have a photograph, Preserve your memories, They’re all that’s left you… органическая косметика купить матрас киев чугунные кастрюли

Lead by Mary Oliver

Here is a story to break your heart. Are you willing? This winter the loons came to our harbor and died, one by one, of nothing we could see. A friend told me of one on the shore that lifted its head and opened the elegant beak and cried out in the long, sweet savoring […]

A Bride Married to Amazement by Mary Oliver

When death comes like the hungry bear in autumn; when death comes and takes all the bright coins from his purse to buy me and snaps the purse shut; when death comes like the measle-pox; when death comes like an iceberg between the shoulder blades, I want to step through the door full of curiosity, […]

Salutation To The Dawn by Kalidasa

Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life. In its brief course Lie all the verities and realities of your existence: The bliss of growth The glory of action The splendor of beauty, For yesterday is but a dream And tomorrow is only a vision, But today well lived makes […]

Seventy Eight Point Six – a Personal Marathon by Rev. Frank Hall

The Marathon is 26.2 miles The average lifespan is three times as long: 78.6 years The rules of both are clear:  you have to begin at the beginning          take a number and attach it for the duration Then it’s one step at a time… In time, on time, through time Because time doesn’t stand […]

Beginnings by Rev. Frank Hall

Sometimes I’m sorry not to be able to remember my own beginning I do remember a few fleeting moments at age three or four – maybe even at age two But not even enough for a short poem Not even enough to sweeten the morning coffee Not even enough to light my Uncle Al’s cigar […]
