journey to work(a poem)

[dee60]

Hi,
I got inspired the other day to actually write down my thoughts on the different sights I see on my way to the hospital that I work at.
and LOL I haven't wrote a poem for 20+ years but here goes...

Another day's dawn I cross the lake
Windows down to catch breeze
College rowers in the distance
Gliding gracefully across as one

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Past by group of women at bus stop
Wearing pretty chiffon Hijabs
Wait at light near men sparring in gym
Rap music flows out from within

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Vendor carts on each corner
Get your lattes,mochas and chai teas
Downtrodden man holding sign
Homeless Vet. need money and god bless

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Bullet helmets zoom on by
Cyclists on an adrenaline high
Dreadlocks skaters on last corner
Working on their bigspin kickflips

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Up the hill walking by
Couple in garden doing tai chi
Fellow workers seeking parking
Ready for another working day

I take a deep breath
and let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

Here at last to start my day
to touch all with a smile of peace
for this place we share the joy
and try to ease the sorrowing pain.

And so ....
I take a deep breath
And let out a smiling sigh
"May peace be with all"

wow, if only i could go to work with that kind of spirit :)

i thought id take this opprotunity to post some of my poetry.. i.e. get banned or have my post deleted :D :

i get some money in my hand
damn, its more then i need
ive allready got what i want
wait no, what about weed
shit my bags down to crumbs
i gotta make a hookup
to get the mad cron
and chill and toke up
so i throw on my shoes
grab the cash and run
gotta get to my dealers house
before his bags done
i come knockin on his door
he says yo what do ya need
i say whats up man
i got the need for weed
so i step into his pad
waitin for my dope
he gives me a fat sac
now ya know im glad
of some ripper chronic
i say thanks bro and jet
faster then sonic
back to my house
where i bust it up
i roll a fat jay and
fire it up
one hit
two hits
half a dubie
now im feelin great
in a dreamy mind
some high state
an i love it
i just chill
i take another hit
this is how ya killl
tha need for weed

Well Indecline your poem has not been deleted...LOL thank you for sharing it!
I recall those days way,way back then weed was the only thing that got me through the day.
But that was over 25 years ago.
I don't always have great spirit for work but found that chanting "may peace be with all"on my drive helps for a better mood for work.

I thought you didn't gamble...I thought you just smiled..... ;)

Fede: The sangha detective!

You're the one that wanted to bet.

Actually, BSF, if you re-read the post, i think you'll find that I was merely enquiring whether you wanted to place a small wager. I personally never gamble. I do however take an uncalculated risk and put my head on the block by being a pedantic Little Miss Smart-Ass....!! :lol:


(off topic or what...?!?)

Is "whatever gets you through he night" skillful or unskillful in and of itself?

welcome to your tv dream
the golden age of extremes
wants are endless soon youll see
your whole life is vainity

immitate what they simulate
its your mind you masturbate
build up hopes beyond your reach
in god we trust they will preach

soon youll see its captivity
they claim you to be free
yet you slave for your country
youre all still pheasants
as far as i can see

the modern day knight
fight the good fight
feed your wants
your wants are greed

its allready too late
youve allready decided your fate
im not trying to be pessimistic
im trying to be honest

but dont take my word for it
who am i to tell
we are the gods of this shit...
we are the gods of this shit!
welcome to our hell!!
