A Thought for Today
Friends are angels in
old clothes.
Rod is in the midst of a heavy
studio session and hopefully will be back with you tomorrow.

A kindness started flows forever.
Too much time is lost in sorting out the real from what we
pass off as reality.
Be careful how you act up. Each day acted out and done is gone
forever.

AIRBORNE |
|
Now as kites fly overhead
on ends of children spooling threads,
bells in temples start to chime.
Once for the living, twice for the dead,
thrice for the ones long gone ahead.
Four more tolls for the tick of time.
Five at least for the sake of rhyme
and six for the signs unread.
Bells give voice to kites on high
that decorate otherwise empty sky.
Seven bells for the days of the week.
Eight for the mild, nine for the meek.
Ten bells apiece for you and me
and at least one more for the kite in the tree. - from "Valentines," 1986 |
