need to build bridges instead of walls
The Future De La Soul
sometimes
I sit still, quiet
as a cloud,
and contemplate
if I dwell in your thoughts
as often as you dwell
in mine
i would make friends with a mole who would burrow into the earth, creating a cave in which we would live forever, so are the days of our lives.
GIVE IT UP Lee Dorsey
so damn funky can’t help but groove along
And again there are no words.
Words exist that can, used by a poet, achieve a dim monochrome of the body’s love, but beyond that they fail clumsily.
” —John Wyndham (The Chrysalids)I am a rock ~Simon & Garfunkel
A winter’s day
In a deep and dark December;
I am alone,
Gazing from my window to the streets below
On a freshly fallen silent shroud of snow.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I’ve built walls,
A fortress deep and mighty,
That none may penetrate.
I have no need of friendship; friendship causes pain.
It’s laughter and it’s loving I disdain.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
Don’t talk of love,
Well, I’ve heard the word before.
It’s sleeping in my memory.
I won’t disturb the slumber of feelings that have died.
If I never loved I never would have cried.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
I have my books
And my poetry to protect me;
I am shielded in my armor,
Hiding in my room, safe within my womb.
I touch no one and no one touches me.
I am a rock,
I am an island.
And a rock feels no pain;
And an island never cries.
