The Two Trees...!

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start
And all the trembling flowers they bear.

The changing colours of its fruit
Have dowered the stars with merry light;
The surety of its hidden root
Has planted quiet in the night;
The shaking of its leafy head
Has given the waves their melody.

And made my lips and music wed,
Murmuring a wizard song for thee,
There the Loves a circle go,
The flaming circle of our days,
Gyring, spiring to and fro
In those great ignorant leafy ways;
Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.

Gaze no more in the bitter glass,
The demons, with their subtle guile,
Lift up before us when they pass,
Or only gaze a little while;
For there a fatal image grows
That the stormy night receives,
Roots half hidden under snows,
Broken boughs and blackened leaves.

For all things turn to bareness
In the dim glass the demons hold,
The glass of outer weariness,
Made when God slept in times of old.

There, through the broken branches, go
The ravens of unresting thought;
Flying, crying, to and fro,
Cruel claw and hungry throat,
Or else they stand and sniff the wind,
And shake their ragged wings: alas!
Thy tender eyes grow all unkind:
Gaze no more in the bitter glass.

Beloved, gaze in thine own heart,
The holy tree is growing there;
From joy the holy branches start,
And all the trembling flowers they bear.

Remembering all that shaken hair
And how the winged sandals dart,
Thine eyes grow full of tender care;
Beloved, gaze in thine own heart.

Good to see this thread still going. I meant to revive it a while back.

Just took my morning Lisinopril (blood pressure meds). Been on those for about five weeks now. Not sure if they're helping, but at least I'm trying. If it wasn't for this thing with matt scaring me, I might not have ever bothered (my doctor kinda freaked me out too). So maybe some good came out of that deal. Who knows, maybe I would have had a stroke by now.

Ahh, the joys of getting older!!

Happy Birthday! Dude, RIP

Happy Birthday Matthew!

Hey hey, my my...
Rock 'n Roll can never die!
There's more to the picture
Than meets the eye...!
Hey hey, my my...

Out of the blue and into the black
They give you this, but you pay for that
And once you're gone, you can never come back
When you're out of the blue and into the black.

The king is gone but he's not forgotten
This is the story of a johnny rotten
It's better to burn out than it is to rust
The king is gone but he's not forgotten.

My my, hey hey...
Rock and roll is here to stay!
It's better to burn out
Than to fade away...!
My my, hey hey...

Same thing with Joey C. 40 y/o and strong as a Clydesdale. One morning he never woke up while sleeping in a hotel. Exam said it was his heart. One of the good things about the VA is that they nag us to get the preventative medicine done. I had been getting respiratory infections with some regularity, then the nurse went on & on about including a pnumocox with the standard flue-shot. Huge difference with frequency and duration of anything I get these days.

Just thinking of matt. RIP, buddy!! Here's to wishing you were forced to stay here and suffer this thing through with the rest of us!! ####er..

The really scary thing is that it is coming up on a year already.
Edit: it has been a year already.

 

[tree md]

Yep, one year. Friday of Laborday weekend one year ago was the last message I ever received from Matt. Miss that guy.

RIP buddy.

In Memory of Matthew!

"Summer´s almost gone...!" was a song Matt used to play on the last day of August.

Last year he told me that he wished for an eternal summer that would never end...!

Now I play this song in memory of his life, which just like last summer ended way too soon!
