TBD on Ning

Compatriots

This popped into my mind as I wandered Ning. I thought, "geez, we're a great group of people...we've lived through it together." I love you guys.

An ancient land
Oceans away, and yet I
Still, see me in you

death and beauty mixed
indelible images
haunt you forever

Drawing from our lines
confined within measured way
friendships have blossomed

On the light side:

fros, flares, and hot pants
disco all night in dark clubs
did i see you there?

skipped the disco scene
chased the girls then but not there
it may have been nice

Oh, it was! I danced in gay clubs in NYC and DC, mostly, where the music was UNBELIEVABLE and there wasn't that Saturday Night Fever vibe. No polyester...no posing. Just dancing 'till you dropped. Wish I were back there!

unforgettable
swirling lights and pounding beat
rocking all night long

it can still happen
go trip back into that mood
create your own time

I do. Music all around me, all the time, lifting me up, and yet...

and yet....., incomplete
sometimes across the valley
pastures are greener
