So that was fast - we have any slow takers out there?

Time Fast as dust in the wind Slow as dirt in the mud Time Fast as my mindless daydream Slow as ice melting in winter Time Fast as a problem Slow as the solver

There was a man who both was there and was not there not anywhere both fast and slow was how he'd go and maybe he did disagree don't you agree he shouldn't be while nothing is necessity for everything is just one thing in myriad when you are sad so low, half-assed you couldn't care but please beware of any dog that might meow could be a cow but in disguise you may just spy it in his eye and not believe it anyway cause every day is being seized by someone else who truly sees the truth behind our noble lies but how time flies when everything begins ending.

My poem today... If you are having fun, life goes so fast, But slow when it’s dull, you’re living at half mast. You better pray, you had a good past, Because it’s a sure bet – the future will be harsh. There’s nothing to change it, the big clock is set, The countdown has started, death’s a sure bet. My advice to you, is to slow down and chill, You can chose to continually climb, or sit smiling, at the top of the hill. You can run real fast, or walk real slow, Tortoise vs the hare, only you really know. Slow or fast, an interesting debate, Whatever you do, at some point sit down, and contemplate.

Thanks Sandra, that one was my own developed form which I call a Patan. Anyway, I have a guest staying with me this weekend and I asked her what the theme should be today. She was more than happy to give one and what she suggested for a theme was a pretty good one I thought. Tranquility.

Tranquility Only inner peace and me The freedom to be all alone Tranquility Lying under a tree Turned off the mobile phone Tranquility A moon's lonely sea No waves to disturb the flow Tranquility I'll just let it be Till noise once again is my foe

Here's one from my guest (the one who came up with the topic). She wrote it really quick. The faintest of heart beats worries have taken flight on the wings of the birds to destinations unbeknown to us. What is left - silence, calm, peace and tranquility in its newborn state just as it should be.

Michael, thank your guest for the opportunity with this one!Tranquility I do not want tranquility For that won't give me rest Only through the labor comes The baby at my breast A thousand hard contractions A blessed womb fulfilled That is what I want Before 'the go' is stilled And like my dearest children I wish them not great pain But only to see obstacles As precious works to gain To climb a perfect mountain To swim the perfect sea To fail the perfect failure And finally let it be And when that time does finally come I think we all might sway And conjure up a problem Though they had gone away Like people long before we lived Well maybe it was us Thinking up a future Making up a fuss One man thinking numbers One man testing planes One man building buildings One man loading trains Just Imagine Lennon said But what did he really mean? To me it was of Echad A peaceful loving dream A loving dream of kindness A loving dream beyond And of complete acceptance No matter what is wrong Tranquility, tranquility We cannot ask for more And yet it comes and we refrain The song of mythic lore Of dungeons and of dragons And dark and ugly pits What is our fascination Of trouble when it hits? Tranquility it softens us And holds our hand in grace Lo This must be The hand of God This must be His face I guess I push Him back When I tend to say I do not want tranquility But give me work this day So if your day is tranquil Be thankful you are blessed But if it's not Be thankful In this world You are His guest It seems we'd all rest easy And calmness be the way Instead we want another test We shout out ganbatte! Sandra E.

Hey Sandra, That was nicely done. You do very well when you exercise control. My whole household seems to be involved today. Here's one from my partner. Leave me alone I’ve had my fill Thoughts are quiet, Mind is still Save it for another day Come in peace Or go away.

And here's mine: I hate you so much, Out of spite For tranquil poems You make me write They make me seethe So turbulent Tranquillity Is abhorrent.. I ‘ll never write Another one I’m so relieved This poem is done.

Wow Sandra, that was really cool
So simply an idea,
Yet complex and dark,
The ultimate state?
... Evil can easily embark.
False sense of security,
No such thing as fully there,
Tranquility is a myth,
Like all the poison in the air.
An endless quest,
Like searching for the one,
A life of unrest,
Wishful thinking for some.
Respect to those who find it,
This fairy tale for the bold,
Share your secret, tell us all the
Stories that itch to be told.
Thanks to your guest Michael for the theme and her poem. If she wants to come up with another challenging theme tomorrow that would be great!
