With respect to the Eagles...

Thanks to the Eagles, In death we can return as beagles, We live to spread our wings most regal, When smoking the herb most illegal… This life over, no fanfare upon departure, We hope we have met the cupid archer, A love we hope we have found, For our memories of life while in the ground… When return we must, Our bodies turned to dust, Our souls to our next lives do transcend, Do we descend or ascend, That is the question without answer; hard to comprehend… © ed ~ 5/16/06

The key to the Rufuz code says believe-repent-ascend---seems simple to me;-)let the pondering poem get lost in the clouds. has that photo
been toyed with? they are some awesome cloud formations. methinks bottom clouds were copied then inverted and placed on top to achieve the scene.;-)

The Saggy, Baggy Boobs Blues,

Growing up alone is not so bad...

Alone in life...

Memories I am Unable to Forget...

To wish for death...

I find it interesting that only in the wee hours of the morning is when I find myself able to write anymore... <br>

Rain, thunder & lightning, oh my...

Hey, I think I might have found a little humor...?

...NEAT...

Future: The Spiritual Story of Humanity by Glenn Martin
