Time, like a thief, slowly steals the pieces of our lives one by one and leaves us only with memories of who we once were. Of times spent dreaming and planning the new. When the set years of our lives seemed like a forever, a naivety of our youth. Not knowing that all our lives are shadows on a wall which disappear when once the sun has set.

you are my kindred spirit, Charles. We feel the presence of time.

I see you make beautiful things, not only in poems but also in gardens- and in life. Thank you for sharing these.

You're very sweet Jonathan. Thank you.

Carp prefer deep water, rarely surfacing; thank you for surfacing today. (Always amazed by your scholarship - love the lines "cast into the net/ that folds itself more closely as we move:/ struggle draws it tight; it is the self" 5* Fav.

Many thanks Halina. The Chinese poets are a wonder - no surprise that their nation for so long took its cultural superiority for granted!

[Idlinfarm]

This is so beautiful I wish for better words to tell you that.

[brychar66]

Those words say it all Ida. I think we share the Taoist approach. Bless you.

[keanghiero]
