"A smattering of grace a splash of style"


Poem Artwork

Survival Sonnet

 

Just being born I won the lottery

Then surviving all the crises after

Surprising everyone especially me

Through stubbornness and some well-placed laughter

A smattering of grace a splash of style

 

Still here to enjoy the absurdity

I take it with a grain of salt and smile

Since not taking things too seriously

Seems key to survival after awhile

 

I have died once and have lived lots of things

Been nearly buried been dearly married

Have worn disguises and symbolic rings

But it has been best of all just to be

A wanderer everlastingly free

Steve, you, CJ, F. William and felix and Me. We all know the pain and the joy of living. I have learned that if you never allow yourself to laugh at yourself, you have missed out on a wonderful joy.
Great Write,
God Bless,
Lew

Hey, wait up for me. I hate to tell you, but there are at least two of us. If a third, or more, I hope they know and live the secret, as do you... and I. Laughing about things is really natural. We're each, so damned rediculous, life is eternally FUNNY ! ! !
Oh, by the way... you write very well, indeed. Let's have more.

Omega Factor by John Henning

Take some time to walk outside of your own mind and into another, walk slowly and carefully; the mind that you step on might be your own.
