Noted and Forgotten

We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. And medicine, law, business, engineering, these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love, these are what we stay alive for. To quote from Whitman, "O me! O life!... of the questions of these recurring; of the endless trains of the faithless... of cities filled with the foolish; what good amid these, O me, O life?" Answer: That you are here - that life exists, and identity; that the powerful play goes on and you may contribute a verse. That the powerful play *goes on* and you may contribute a verse. What will your verse be? John Keating Dead poets Society (1989) p/s: watch this movie on youtube if y'all have the time..... =)

Sitting on a chair, Staring into space, Sipping a cup of tea, Feeling so misplaced, The flavor has gone bland , tasteless...... The air goes still, Time comes to a halt and I'm feeling drowsy, If the floor disappears.. Where will I fall? An aimless question floating on the thought of sleep... =ladyindira=
