John is a 60 year old man from Fox Valley Region, Wisconsin, USA

Getting into what some call elderly, and I am as settled as I've ever been. Pardon me for saying so, but I am beginning to feel a bit old in the sense of picking up on some things I thought I'd have done long ago. Starting to feel some wisdom of age, apology.


Eye in Silence

We try so hard to touch the thing that makes us
to revel in the splendor of our questions
But then we come to know the breast has tamed us
so we fly into our dreams
to hold the stories we have lost

And in just a flicker note of random love
we raise our heads to see the Eye in Silence
and the many things that we have known
It's then that in our sensor nerves
we ask for what again

Never waking
walking walking resting
waiting here til longing
Slowly fading
into blackness of the sleep

~~~~~~~~~~~

The past is a postcard; the future, a flip of the coin.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Raise back your head,

Empty yourself, with the joy of measured breath.


~~~~~~~~~~~

I come snarling from the cave, my brittle tendons snapping, determined to jump so far, never ever stop.

I take a look back at the etchings on the walls, wondering if I, or others, will ever see them again.

~~~~~~~~~~~

"The beat goes on."

In this SU world, I have fun and do my best. I do my art and try to be good to people.
