Sometimes It Only Takes a Minute
Posted 03/15/2010 at 01:42 AM by superkat
When life is moving so quickly that you barely have time to breath...how nice is it that someone takes a minute to say something nice...or pass along words of encouragement...or to praise you for something that you worked hard on...or gave yourself to...for no other reason than to give to someone else?
It only takes a minute...to stop, to look, to listen...and to respond. With a smile, with a pleasant word...a pat on the shoulder...
For those of you who have touched my life in that way...thank you. And for those of you who i have touched in some positive way? please pass it along.
Life is much, much too short to ignore the positive in someone's life. Look for it...point it out to them..because chances are...they really need to hear it.

Every man or woman, when they get quiet, when they become desperately honest with themselves, is capable of uttering profound truths. We all derive from the same source. There is no mystery about the origin of things. We are all part of creation, all kings, all poets, all musicians; we have only to open up, to discover what is already there.

Salt Creeps
A hobby of patience
An art of science
An illusion of nature
A small life hangs in your grip
Salt buckets sprawled onto the floor
Rubber hoses tangled with electric cords
A place where many ideas have come to die
And where many others have come to light
Spattered glass w/ a crack in it
Old used up equipment
Time sits spent in its own gracious path
Frustration is both found and lost here
Coming back to see the work
Working hard so as to come back
taking what is gifted
And giving in return
Burnt out bulbs
Old carbon bags
Too many buckets stacked
With their friends the coolers
Rubber bands and zip ties
A rusty razor sits
In a pool of saltiness
As around it-salt creepsPosted 03/21/2010 at 11:36 PM by alphaferret -
Staring Moon-
I look to you
On nights like this
And you never turn away
Glowing like a firefly
A cloud passes by
As it tries to dilute you
It pales in comparison
Weakness is its only strength
You reflect upon a waterfall
As fish sleep and dream
Foamy tides of greenish hue
Imitate your face but can't
Swirls of wind pass you by
on their way to home
a lost soul stares
And is comforted by your essencePosted 03/21/2010 at 11:48 PM by alphaferret -

Greater things-
The oceans energy surges
and breaks on waiting shores
like a good friends rapping
on another good friends door
The sun begins its journey down
off in the unreal cascade
The earth cools with its retreat
another day is made
The rain begins to fall suddenly
feeding all things alive
A mother whale and her calf
slowly start to dive
Fire lights the sky
on some distant shore
A man stays warm and comforted
As he tells an ancient lore
Wind stirrers up a column of smoke
As the listeners gather in
with great emotion he tells his tale
As moon gives way-another day beginsPosted 03/22/2010 at 06:15 PM by alphaferret -
And gotta incl some from my girls....my indigo girls
just the beginning to walk away
We used to walk in each others arms
it was one on one
thats what you said
Now the moon is a sliver in our eyes
we stumble bleeding on this broken glass...
there was a time when we gave everything
and it was true true enough to bleed
but now you feel you got nothing left
if there's nothing to lose
then there's nothing to gain
walk away
God i love that!Posted 03/22/2010 at 06:44 PM by alphaferret -

I have the love of music -I sing on xbox live to get my friends going! My wife was in a band and is very musical-piano flute guitar & is artistic-not a poet though so...
what did you want me to send you? My paintings? Might take awhile-can't figure out the flickr/rc connection-what was the photo site you said was easy? I think I tried but the username alphaferret was already in use-who dares-maybe me and i can't remeber what email i used or the pass-never mind I just remembered-photo bucket!Posted 03/23/2010 at 02:22 PM by alphaferret -
