 Waves rush forward

Only to fall away

To return whence they came

For this is nature

To repeat again

Nothing can be the same

~

Years pass along

One adventure again

Morning, evenings collide

A million gallons

Cover like a garden

Two way, another side

~

Pieces of time

Rising from where

Slip into this soul of mine

For the memory

Will never forget

Always there the sign

~

To rise above

To fall again

A thousand and one tears

From the heart

The ocean wide

Embracing all the years

 Once again it has been a long time since I posted. Long enough that there have been updates and changes to Blogger. So I'm hoping I can remember how to do what I want to post today. Looks like the options of what you can and cannot do are changed as well. 

Anyhoo for me is my love of music. It's true what they say. We usually still love the music we grew up with. It leaves a big impression on us. I think the 60's had some of the best music you will ever here. So I'm going to post one of them that I don't really recall but the group and several other of their songs I do real well. This one is on one of those collections that kind of covers a groups career on cd. Back when it came out I'm sure it was an am radio played song and spun on the good old turntable as a 45. A lot has changed in our world since those days. Music being one of them. Still the sounds of the 60's music has that good days feel to it. Tmmy James and the Shondells....

It's been a long time since I wrote anything. I guess it's because I feel in limbo. We're all in a "Wait and see what happens" mode. Things have changed a lot since my last post. Mostly the weather going to extremes. From 30's in May to the 90's we're now in. And it's going to be a drought really. 90's from today to next Friday. High 80's all this week and no rain. Then all that is going on in our world. It's gone from bad to worse. And it's not going to get any better anytime soon. So mostly we've had plenty of time to post many posts but I think we're all just waiting. Waiting for better days. One thing that always makes us feel better is music. Remember that because it's all we have to get away from the problems that we face along with the world.....

Another strange week indeed. While we were dealing with the coronavirus crisis, staying at home to protect others, it didn't take long as things opened up around the country to remember the crisis that has still been around for too long. I must say while we were all staying at home time seemed to drag on forever. And yet here we are the last day of May already of 2020. This year will be one to remember for a very long time. 
So now the crisis gets deeper. What we saw this week is utter stupidity. From the death of a man who should have not died at the hands of those who "Serve and Protect."  What the hell? When are people going to realize there is but one race. Just one, the human race. Then the crisis got even bigger. Protests turned into riots and looting. How is that going to help? Worse is that communities are ripped apart and no justice will ever be served by this kind of behavior. Then of course the coronavirus will let loose with round two. Civil War is here, the end of society as we know it. Remember common sense? It left a long time ago. But. Don't let it bring you down......

Painting By The Numbers
Stroke to the left
Stroke to the right
Like footprints in the sand

Is there a way
To get back where we were
To once again ride along
Make this a picture

I dreamed I saw
A thousand walking by
No smile, no nothing
Not seeing each one

I felt the brush
Asking questions still
Looking for direction
On what to do to cover this 

Falling down
Isolation dragging at me
North,East,South and West
Four ways to only go

I wish for the days
That I remember well
To smile once again 
With you and the mornings

Two more brushes
Maybe will this complete
Memories of our love
Color this picture today

One day runs into two. then three..on and on it goes. There is a flicker of light. Dreaming away at what the normal? Who will see where, when, why, what and wake? Wait for the feel it is time. Slowly like a butterfly things open. Still not the same and can never be. Where do we go from here? Questions that ask and answer all in the same line. "Nothing is real". Look back. Remember to honor our brave men and women this Memorial Day...

Sunday 5-3-2020

It seems forever since I posted. Time goes by so fast even when standing still. A year ago on this date I worked my last day and retired. Hard to believe a year has come and gone since then. Who would have expected where we are today? Starting on May 1st a few things are opening back up in my state. Doctors and dentist offices. It's good for a slow start, this crisis has been one that has forever changed the world. By the time the world was told there was a problem, the virus was already being spread here in America. I'm pretty sure it was here last November. Doctors didn't know what it was and thought it was probably just a strain of the flu worse than the year before. Until December 31st. Even then as 2020 began our government didn't react and take steps that may have curbed a lot of the outbreak. Glad our Governor took the bull by the horns. We can point as many fingers as we want to the current situation but the fact is now we have to be even smarter with opening up America. As history will tell us a second wave will probably follow and could be much worse if we don't play it smart.
Anyhoo let's take a walk down memory lane....
