Connections

muse is singing again, bringing me lyrics

some have found their silver

though others search for gold

some are hooked on passion

afraid they'll end up cold

.

and some are never satisfied

with a fear of growing old

yet most are quite content it seems

to find an anchor's solid hold

.

in the safety of a harbour

now surely that is priceless

those arms that long to hold you

far better than lost treasure

more valuable than gold

This poem is so beautifully relevant in today's times when most have become so material. Asides from chasing accomplishments, we envy others for the stuff they have and forget to count our loved ones as our biggest blessings. Your words always bring us to great realizations, dear Chris. Thanks for sharing such positivity today.

Dear DIVYA, an older poem out for an airing. I so appreciate you sharing your thoughts. We sadly do live in a materialistic world while many have nothing. Relationships with those we love, all important. Have a good day

Life is so many things depending on the view of the person. You captured that nicely here.

[Chris Shaw]

Searching for a better life is so common these days…keeping up with the Jones’…… but I think we should all make do with what we have and be proud abs satisfied…. We all need an anchor.. and it’s different for each of us… this is so very true and yet very poignantly written Chis..
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!
Warmly, B

Hi chris. If your son keeps on 24 hrs spending writing his brain cells will not work after some poing becaused he has used them up all. Proper nourishment and food are important for health.

When i saw you you are just under lot of physical pain, which is not even allowing to sleep for 10 mins atleast. Your eyes are dry without moisture even. I need to do reiki for you tk reduce the pain.

People who are having good health are getting worse for what, ?? Atleast for your wife and kids and family take care of your health. I dont know what fun you are getting its just a paischikam demon pleasure but no godly pleasure.

I am here to take care of you.
Jessy jacob.
With love.

True love offers an anchorage in a time of storms.

Our friends and loved ones, mostly taken for granted, until the day we miss them and wish some seeds had been planted. The anchor that holds us close to those that are dear. Love your poem,

[Chris Shaw]

Really appreciate your kind thoughts DM. Thank you so much.

The embrace of a lost loved one transends all that we can physically hold.

Yes, the older we get the less it's about silver and gold.
I don't relish the getting older part, so I'm trying my best to relish the real parts,
and getting hungry with all this talk about relish,
I really enjoyed this one, Chris :)

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you JD. Pleased you enjoyed this older write of mine . All good wishes .

A nice bit of symbolism here. Yes some are not satisfied with their silver looking for the fabled cities of gold. Many relationships end because of this. Yes a safe harbor is above all value. When this type of relationship is found hold on with all your might. Nicely done.

[Chris Shaw]

Thank you Soren. I appreciate your visit and your thoughts. All good wishes.
