Held the whole future of mankind in his two sweating hands. Over o...

The Tao of Tom: October 2008

http://taotom.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html

The Tao of Tom. In knowing the Tao I will know myself. Wednesday, October 22, 2008. A wooden bench rests. Its tired joints in the shade,. How many lovers have sat on you, bench? Sat, and in rushed rhythms of speech,. Plotted great escapes from this. Backs arched, hands held in a tight,. They dream of sitting anywhere. By the still, emerald water of the canal. Within the metal frame. Breathless, pulseless,. Only the cold steel hum of. In red and blue and. Multitudes of sheep, lost. Dreamless, sleepless,.

From One Book Lover: November 2014

http://fromonebooklover.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html

From One Book Lover. To another: sharing the love of reading and books. Sunday, November 30, 2014. Poetry for the Holidays: When Giving Is All We Have. When Giving Is All We Have. Its journey to the next. We give because someone gave to us. We give because nobody gave to us. We give because giving has changed us. We give because giving could have changed us. We have been better for it,. We have been wounded by it—. Giving has many faces: It is loud and quiet,. Big, though small, diamond in wood-nails.
