Our legacy, some little poetry.

Awakening my muse.

Legacy, some little poetry.

1-  The Monterey tavern poet sat alone and beautiful Eleanor sat with him.

Her eyes seeking his face, her eyes seeking his voice.

He asked her, dear Eleanor.

What do you need tonight?

She smiled and she told him.

I have questions that need answers.

He told her, please ask and I will try to answer.

She took his hands and she asked him.

Did you find your mermaid in the taverns?

Did you find the utopia of the fatal kiss of death near?

Did you know joy?

He kissed her forehead and he told her.

I went to war and death didn't want me,

I held joy in my arms and I lost her.

And I was blessed tonight,

I have the prettiest mermaid in Monterey holding my hands.

I am blessed.

2- The chronicle of a life,

is to cross many bridges and touching many new earth with our feet.

We will become many people and we will tried to be kind.

A good life is leaving the world better then we received her.

Thank you my friend. My muse came back to me. I have been listening to Nevil Shutes books. He write with a tender and honest pen.

That last line is killer Johnnie. I like the question/ answer format too.

A legacy of kindness is a fine thing. Kindness will be remembered. If you can leave that in your wake, you would have led a successful life in my opinion. We do what we have to, to survive. Life is tough and tougher still for some. Thank you for your poetry my friend. You will be remembered for that too. You have touched many with the written words.

Thank you dear Chris. I learn the hard way. We must lead with concern, kindness and listen. I appreciate the comment.

You are a wise man. I wish our politicians had your wisdom.

[Coyote Poetry]

Me too dear Chris. In the USA. Cut free lunches for the children and increased the war budget with no wars. Our leaders in the USA. Cold and heartless.

[Chris Shaw]

Same here. They are all wealthy and out of touch with ordinary people struggling to make ends meet. They use and abuse the taxes we pay.

[Coyote Poetry]

I agree dear Chris. I go to the bus-stop. Five single momma dropping off their children dear Chris. All did use the free program. I pray. Next election. We remember.
