"I stand amid the roar
Of a surf-tormented shore,
And I hold within my hand
Grains of the golden sand-
How few! yet how they creep
Through my fingers to the deep,
While I weep-while I weep!
O God! can I not grasp
Them with a tighter clasp?
O God! can I not save
One from the pitiless wave?
Is all that we see or seem
But a dream within a dream?"

"It was a rare, rare moment when the city seemed truly whole; when people came together—for free—to watch an event, and they cheered the back-of-the-pack plodders as enthusiastically as they did the whippets who led the way. I was so moved by it that I was choked up for most of the twenty-six miles, seeing this crazy display of community and generosity… The special thing about big-city marathons, like New York and Boston, is that they are occasions when the clashing and whirring of urban life quiets, and everyone stands together to see a bunch of people trying to do something very simple that is also very hard. It’s marvellous… If the explosions were purposeful, whoever did it knew that it would catch people at an exceptional, joyous moment, when they come together in the sweetest way, helping each other fly."

Rainy day
wake up late
morning mist
cool breeze
the smell of earth
refreshing walk
hot tea
nice hot bath
getting late for work
it doesn’t matter
It’s a rainy day.
Laughter and fun all about
windows open
eyeballs out
beautiful trees
beautiful sky
beautiful rainbow
back to reality
back at the desk
no work done
it doesn’t matter
It’s a rainy day.
long long drive
family and friends
chatting, gossiping
talking, laughing
small trek
awestruck faces
slight drizzle
clothes all wet
hair all wet
it doesn’t matter
It’s a rainy day.
Back home
change clothes
dry hair
sit by the fire
warm again
steady rain
distant rumbling
music to the ears
sneezes and coughs
but it doesn’t matter
It’s a rainy day
It’s a magical day

Beware Beware!
the selfless friend
who offers a hand
without a care!
He says what he wants
& works when he can;
does little or less,
yet throws in his taunts.
With a smile and a smirk,
his welcome comes first;
to force out a thanks,
for all his good work.
Beware Beware!
of such false friends
& seek out their help,
if only you dare!
