Scraps for a Scrapbook: June 2012
http://christopher240.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Scraps for a Scrapbook. Personal reflections, impressions, and observations on the real and the imaginary that make up my world of perception. Saturday, June 30, 2012. Below this heaven, under this field,. Lie the bones of the victims of war,. The fallen whose days were cut short,. Whose future was the present and. Whose present was without a future. Below this darkening cloud-flecked sky,. Under these red poppies newly sprung,. Repose the remains of the hapless youths. Who never had the chance to blossom.

The traditional image of Christmas. When I was a lad I could hardly wait for Christmas to come round. Now I'm more grown-up than I'd like to be and Christmases seem to come and go all too quickly in rapid succession. But there it is, there's nothing to be done. It's part of the rhythm of life. For all that, my local supermarket is alway...

And so that final gasp in dead of night. That brought the curtain down on hope;. That grinding fear of a cruel tomorrow. And the rising despair that death brings;. But this was no ordinary death of a man,. This was no passing of a common mortal;. Though a man born of woman thou wast,. Whose fear made sure thine end.

Below we have two young women, both in the same precarious situation, that is out in the rain, and both toting a brolly, but each with a very different approach.. So take your cue from this 'sensible' woman. However, that aside, her outfit cannot be faulted for its practicality. She won't have wet clothes to change out of when she ge...

Fountain frozen over in icy cold weather. A new day dawns with a blanket of snow. And offering at the very least the sanctuary of its shelter as well as a phone service, assuming of course it hasn't been vandalised! Still, call me a soppy sentimentalist if you will, but I'd rather have it there than not. Look at ...

Do not stand at my grave and weep". Do not stand at my grave and weep. I am not there. I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow. I am the diamond glints on snow.

Across these lush green fields of my youth,. Under cloud-dappled blue skies of my imagination,. Beyond a distant golden horizon of my dreams,. In a land unseen by man, a world unknown to all,. In a timeless realm with no beginning and no end,. In a wondrous life that knows no death,. Beyond these fields, under another sky,. One of my bo...
