We Find Ourselves

[anirbas]

Here, again, my friend
My belov-ed, my heart's ease
On adventure's edge
We fling our arms high and wide
Welcoming the next mission

A nod to the quest
To mystery a hat tip
Diligent research
To lend credence to the road
Saddle up and away we go

Two cats our besties
Our sweet guardian angels
The stars to guide us
Our enduring love for warmth
Who could ask for more than that?


Here, again, my friend
My belov-ed, my heart's ease
On adventure's edge
We fling our arms high and wide
Welcoming the next mission

We find ourselves

[anirbas]

"We would sail up the Avenue, but we haven't got a yacht
We would drive up the Avenue, but the horse we had was shot
We would ride on a trolley car but we haven't got the fare
So we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue
Yes, we'll walk up the Avenue till we're there"

A Couple of Swells, Irving Berlin

Together

Unsure of the future as the present appears
peppered with chaos and flying cactus pots
Once more and again my beloved my friend
We will create a new beginning from dreams
That become plans that become our reality

Together

Anir, I was feeling pretty down but this poem brought a smile to my face. I can feel the optimistic happiness from here!! Very nice poem!

as I read this again, it hits the mark, does it well, very well, David should worry about his fanbase here, well, not quite(some of his hit me rightly), but this one, for me, is a most excellent work Nir. Then again, ya'lls story, is my favorite, being the spectater(couldn't combine potato as well as I would have liked)to it from the B'net daze.....

Dude, I would give anything if I could get Himself back in here, to chill with the quill with us all, again. Once he always became online, to work, he doesn't feel the urge to get back online when he's off.

Blows my mind how many years it has been since we all met over at Bnet. I landed there in 2004, David McC in 2005. Dear Phantasm was already there before us, as well as my deeply missed Misharae. I believe I remember you and Aims landed in 2005? Or you might have already been in there, somewhere, I just hadn't read you, before 2005. That place is huge. I peep in from time to time. It doesn't look anything like it used to! I don't sign in. Can't remember my password. Hahahaha. The lament of the New Age. I can't remember my password.

We definitely made lovely arses of ourselves over at Bnet in those years, David and I. Hard not to spectate/stare at a couple of blooming idiots. Hahaha. But, I wouldn't have missed it, for the world.

Thank you for comparing my piece to some of his writings. That is high praise, indeed. He could encapsulate any moment and blow your mind, with the fewest of words. I miss him writing. I still read him.

~one more time

we stand accused of inspiring hope
even when we were at our most hopeless
our creative mentors and peers
envision us as fierce even peerless
because once upon a time once upon
once upon a time once upon a time
we were fierce even peerless
or simply crazy and reckless

daring to dream daring to plan
daring to unite this woman this man
no matter the distance between us
we adventured into the unknown
believing we were better as a team
than alone on separate continents
ah time has flown and we've grown old
dare we to manifest a dream again
one more time one more time

[anirbas]

well well well my love
well well well this well
we find ourselves in my friend
well well well well well

~Here We Go

Steadily pulling up stakes
Lowering tents to the ground
This carnival is packing it in
Gonna move to another town

Planning to do whatever it takes
Going to make a joyful sound
Moving forward for the win
No more wearing this sad frown

Letting up on the brakes
Popping the clutch away we bound
This carnival is packing it in
Gonna move to another town

Well, it's almost been a month since the move. We survived it somehow, or another. LoL Starting to settle into the new place. Spent the week putting furniture together. What a task that turned out to be.

We did end up moving into a fifty-five or older, senior community apartment complex. I must admit, it seems weird to see nothing but people, our age or older to me. Almost like a Twilight Zone episode.
But, as my daughter pointed out to me, "Mom, you are old people, too." Still weird. I have never lived anywhere where all ages, are not represented, in the community. But, we do feel very safe here.
It is a gated complex. Never lived in a gated complex, either.

Now, that I have been laid off as of January 8th, I am in so much less pain, it is almost like a miracle. Take a lot less pain management medications, as well. Going through the process of procuring disability. I should have started the process in 2013 when I was diagnosed with all these physical issues. Stubborn.

Anyway, if you're still dropping by, hoping to be in here a lot more myself. Everyone take care.
