Stream

Whoever said money can't buy happiness simply didn't know where to go shopping. Bo Derek

Jumble stumble, waves and sounds

some back and forth, over heads they go

to meander between, sometimes besides

all those women, men and children

 

who are rocks laying in the stream,

and flowing against the current

cutting closely, sometimes collide

suddenly spinning, turning around

 

to find at last an island,

a resting place

at riversides

or just a little creek

some water paddling pleasure

 

a beach full of gapers

pirates who are amused with salt

from drops till foam of the waves

is on their lips

 

and every beachcomber handful loaded

is parting company to go back home

maybe they’ll come again

we’ll see next year.

Thank you very much Rudi, I get the image of someone looking for a restful place away from the crowds of people coming to their town. I liked it especially, the first three stanzas. I appreciate it. Look for an email, just thought of something. Thank you.

I was taken by the subject here. Having been involved in IT for years on end the word stream takes a different meaning. I actually had forgotten of this angle. Hordes of human beings passing by all with intentions all with desires but conciousness gets questiones as not knowing makes as be at the risk of becoming mindless drones. So conciousness where art though? That's a tough proposition any day of the week. Nowhere indefinitely. Not dead, not alive only Existence-patterns ripped of symmetry. As will and fate divide.

Who are they then?

Who are we though?

Who am I?

Reflective puzzle Rudi!

Thankyou

A year doesn't seem so far away as we get older, it's weird, years start happening more quickly and quickly

[Rudi J.P. Lejaeghere]

Thank you Laura, it's true, the older we get, the more quickly time flies. I have the same feeling. And it makes me a bit nostalgic approaching the end of the year. :)
