‘the truth is out there’

so we go down the rabbit hole?

I like this one as well:

The ‘Tao of Pooh’ explains Taoism by Winnie the Pooh and explains Winnie the Pooh by Taoism. It makes you understand what A.A. Milne probably meant when he said he didn’t write the Pooh-books for children in the first place.

Over the centuries Taoism classic teachings were developed and divided into philosophical, monastic, and folk religious forms. All of these could be included under the general heading of Taoism. But the basic Taoism is simply a particular way of appreciating, learning from, and working with whatever happens in everyday life. From the Taoist point of view, the natural result of this harmonious way of living is happiness.

One of the basic principles of Taoism is P’U, the Uncarved Block. The essence of the Uncarved Block is that things in their original simplicity contain their own natural power, power that is easily spoiled and lost when that simplicity is changed. This principle applies not only to things, but to people as well. Or Bears. Which brings us to Pooh, the very Epitome of the Uncarved Block. When you discard arrogance, complexity, and a few, other things that get in the way, sooner or later you will discover that simple, childlike, and mysterious secret known to those of the Uncarved Block: Life is Fun. Along with that comes the ability to do things spontaneously and have them work, odd as that may appear to others at times. As Piglet put it in ‘Winnie-the-Pooh’, \"Pooh hasn’t much Brain, but he never comes to any harm. He does silly things and they turn out right.\"[/quote:1uptkcye]

J’ai écrit ce poème il ya longtemps:

Une petite fleur est froissé
Les nuages sont le couleur de béton
Utilisez votre imagination
Et quittez le monde de tristesse
Les dunes de sables sont grande
Trop grande à monter
Le vagues sont écrasé
Dans le coeur de l’ocean
Mais dans mon coeur il ya la paix

[marigold]

nah, just embrace the future

[marigold]

^^ we have a lyrics thread now

a little thought crosses
over the patterns of the mind
it weaves its inspiration
and leaves the mundane behind
savour the moment
before its gone
a fragment of the past
left all alone

[marigold]

its not a salad dressing but I like tartare sauce on fish.

[marigold]

Take me down
To the bottom of your heart
Show me what’s there
Can you see it?

A spark of light
Shining in the dark
Glowing there forever
Can you share it?

A little piece of hope
Leftover from the past
Sheltering the moments
Can you find it?

[marigold]

No secrets kept hidden
Be truthful if you can
Don’t play games
With the ones who care
If you fall into a trap
With the poisoned minds
Clinging onto your soul
Let the truth be aware

………………………

I sit alone
In darkened room
With red walls
I wait alone
For reasoned answers
With muted tones
I ask alone
For peace captured
Within my heart
I doubt alone
For what I cared for
Within is gone

[marigold]

Say goodbye
To the death of it all
Change is inevitable
It makes us seem small

The only constant
Being in the flow
The only chance
To ever know

All is revealed
In the blink of an eye
Have no fear
There is a reason why

Forever hidden
Find it inside
Go with instinct
Follow the guide

[marigold]

Painting these words
The colours bleed into one
Distorting the sight
Running off the page
Eclipsed by the vacant heart
Shadows play in half-light
Mourning the loss
Broken shapes making no sense
Move to the crowded room
Waiting for a masterpiece
Unveiling some form of truth
Contemplative pause
Reflections in their eyes
A thousand words slipping
Soaking in the rain
Inspiration will return
What is there to lose

[marigold]

This is an old one of mine – written around the time Siamese Dream came out, lol, as you may be able to tell.

Tell me now what does it mean
When the world is spinning round
Tell me now what does it mean
When we’re chasing our own shadows
Try to understand, somehow
Feel the same, well, no one knows
Where we will go

We need time to take a breath
Take a look at what is happening
We need time to take a chance
To hear our hearts beating in rhythm
And out there, is our world
Our souls drifting up towards the sky
Forever young, in unity

We fail to look and see the sorrow
All our thoughts are for tomorrow
Can anybody find the heartbeat
Of a world and of our dreams
Lost in time among the seasons
No longer will we follow
Take the steps to make a promise
We just want to be free
And when we can we will
Our souls will soar and sing
Up towards the sky

[marigold]

sent!
let me know when its up on the site…

[marigold]

nope, nobody there at the moment either….

[marigold]

OUCH!

[marigold]

thank you…

That poem is about those celebrities that get messed up by the whole hollywood lifestyle…. or something like that…

[marigold]

^^ hehe – we don’t get snow here, but my friends and I used to slide down a grassy hillside on flattened cardboard boxes. It was quite steep so we did fall off lots but yes, it is a lot of fun.

[marigold]

Knowledge of the truth be denied
What goes around, comes around
You’ll get your just desserts
Hanging on the edge of your seat
Waiting for your turn
Carousel spinning out of control
The musicians play on
Tinker tailor soldier sailor
Heart breaker, movie-maker
Selling your soul for the silver screen
Up on the billboard for all to see
Your time has come
Don’t be a fool
Fall into the trap
Mess up your life
‘til darkness is all you can see
And it swallows you whole

[marigold]

Careless creatures casting their lines
Hooking up their profits
Greedy smiles on their faces
Not knowing they will fail one day
The wall comes crashing down
When they least expect it
Keep buffering it up with some mud and straw
It’ll hold til the next puff of wind
A trickle of oily rain
No chance the wall will hold up
Coming down fast like a ton of bricks
Time to build a new one
Something built to be made anew each time
One that doesn’t need to hold up
A roof over a shattered society
The cause and effect of it all
Wheel of time and cycle of seasons
Brush the cobwebs from the ruins
This wall stands the test of time

[marigold]

The Garden
Alone and still, a starlit sky
sprinkled with feathered milk
the silence is huge
I wait for the brilliance

Once the moon appears, awake!
the garden is again enchanted
illumination beyond the shade
I wrap this moment in foil

The vastness of the black open sky
beckons me to fly up there
but I’ll stay with my garden
in radiance and denial

Until the time is right
forging new beginnings
suspended animation
waiting for a sign

[marigold]

^^ that’s good to hear

I like that poem, and the box of tears one.

………………………..

Scented leaves dance on the wind
Dancing to the tune of the seasons
My heart rests in timeless magnitude
Rising to the challenge of this art

The stars sparkling in the heavens
The sun and moon in endless circles
The hearts of humankind wavering
In their hurricanes of desperation

Sucked into the black holes of the media mass
Told to buy this then you’ll get some a…
Then when you have it you’ll want more
An endless search for desires never met

Searching for peace and quiet
The answers come to those who wait
Searching for that eternal peace
What was once lost will be found

[marigold]

I don’t want to be your queen
I don’t want what you need
In your eyes I see your soul
There’s nothing there

Don’t you want to be freed
Don’t you want to succeed
In your dreams you see the world
Is against you

Why do you do this, it breaks my heart
To see you in pain, when will you realise
There’s nothing to gain
And you’ll never be the same
You will always be with the enemy

I don’t want to be like you
I don’t want to do the things you do
In your eyes I see sorrow
Its what you wanted

Don’t you want to be free
Don’t you want to be real
In your dreams you are beyond
Anything true

Why do you do this, it makes me sick
To see you so hurt, when will you realise
It can’t go on and it stays the same
In your mind it never ends

[marigold]

you could try reading some of Mina Loy’s poetry also:
http://www.cwru.edu/artsci/engl/VSALM/m … oyslb.html

Another one from me….

Beyond laws and images of man
Concepts of time and despair
Fires burning in the suburban sprawl
There is a thickness in the air

I want to reach forth
Into the bloodbath of the future
Soothe the wounds of hate
Heed the warnings of our culture

Join forces into the underground
Increasing and eliminating by turn
Devoid of the facts
The truth we all can learn

Signs pointing to the distance
Invisible to those still asleep
Awareness awakening those who dare
To dream of secrets we can’t keep

Secrets given to those who are willing
To leave this world of taking
And take part in leaving
Our sorrows behind in the making

What are we fighting for
What makes us alive
What brings our minds alight
And keeps our souls awake

A sorrow, a song, a sigh
Fleeting feeling of freedom
Thought taste touched tomorrow
Reasoning right from wrong

Resolutely designed for ourselves
Culminating in initiation
Into the spheres of the mind
Bubbles blown to the wind

Invisible walls of the kingdom
Resting on our laurels
Will not change anything
In apathy we lose ourselves

Creative sparks need to fly!
Fire up their passion inside
Search the tree of knowledge
Sending messages to the stars
