I know you will miss them when they pack up and leave.

The new kitties will be good company for you.

Thinking over Coffee

Oft of an evening I sit and ponder birth,
and its opposite, for both bookend life.
We see them as terminus, as if alone,
in between is everything from love to strife.
Yet, they are but mile markers along the way.
We existed as parts of others before birth,
and through memory in other’s heart and mind.
As such, we are anything but alone,
and by that last mile marker the truth you find.

Graphic by Billie

Quiet, Please!

I’d like to have some quiet, Please!
That gives more than a moment’s ease.
A silence that assumes control,
And satisfies a troubled soul.

When nightbirds keep their voices low,
And crickets creep upon tiptoe,
When even shadows stay quite still,
And breezes are afraid to spill.

I’d like the sound that someone hears,
Of coursing bloodflow in his ears.
The quiet of the grave, almost,
Without a noisy, wailing ghost.

The roaring of the parkway stilled,
And stillness upon silence build,
The Summer lightning staying dark,
And lovers quiet in the park.

I know what noise is, what it does,
But I forgot what silence was.
If I could have some quiet, Please,
Perhaps at last, I’ll catch those Zees.

Happy September!!

Since we can’t get to September, I decided to return to March with this oldie but goodie.

Thank you for the Graphic and the Poem.

Hey guys!

Great pic and poem. DAting myself here, but...

Remember how QUIET it used to be? I grew up on a farm and you could literally hear a car coming for miles! A plane going overhead was cause to stop, drop whatever you were doing and watch it out of sight.

Noise pollution. It’s as bad as light pollution! Night time is supposed to be dark! LOL

[JustAmy]

Good afternoon, GG.

Seems kinda strange to be posting on the March Thread. :)

I think that poem and graphic are wonderful. The Graphic is beautiful and the poem is great.

I grew up in the country (still live in the country) and I always say that I could never move into town. The noise would kill me. I can’t image hearing helicopters and sirens at all hours of the night. We still go outside to see what is happening. :)

Hope you are having a Terrific Thursday.

I have a dentist appt this afternoon. Maybe we will be able to get to April or May when I return. LOL

Ya know, I’m a Conservative... I like things from “the old days”, but taking me back to March ‘08 doesn’t go back far enough. :)

Hi Diver!

Is July, 2005 back far enough? :)

I still live in the country too. Not nearly as quiet as it used to be! Planes constantly going overhead—don’t mind that so much—we live close to Cherry Point MCAS. Seems like there’s always background noise of one type or another. Last time I can remember total silence was after a hurricane when the power was out for a week or so!

Dentist? Bleh!

We’re in the middle of a tornado warning right now, thanks to whatever tropical storm is off the coast. Yest we like to froze to death with winds out of the NE. Can’t remember a hurrican when we were so cold! LOL Got up this am and put on a big pot of baby limas and ham, the wind has come se and the temp is back in the high 70’s. Go figure. LOL

“No such thread.”
:-)

Gee, if it’s April again, it’s almost my birthday. Uh, no thanks, haha.

[La Enchiladita]

Yorkie, I was looking through Recent Articles yesterday, and when I came across your “opus” realized we had skipped back to April 1. You silly, that really woke me up.

[La Enchiladita]
