Friday Poetry Corner - Just Think !

[AlfredJPruffock]

Is it me ? For a moment ...

The heat is rising
The past is calling
The Stars are falling

Im going back soon
To get that baboon
Who cut up my eye
Tore up my Levis

Im feeling restless
Bring another score around
Maybe something stronger
Could really hold me down


The heat is rising
The past is calling
The Stars are falling

Why should I care - why should I Care ??

[Cliphead]

Twinkle, twinkle, little star, now I know just what you are:
Fusing sphere of plasma mass, wrapped in iridescent gas;
Twinkle, twinkle, little star, super-hot that's what you are.

Thank you Pietro Calogero

Looking up at the stars
I know quite well
That, for all they care
I can go to hell.

How should we like it were stars to burn
With a passion for us we could not return?

Admirer as I think I am
Of stars that do not give a damn

I cannot, now I see them, say
I missed one terribly all day.

Were all stars to disappear or die,
I should learn to look at an empty sky

And feel its total darkness sublime

Though this just
might take me
a little
Time.

Aye Clipheid

Ah'm chappin' mind you -

Somenights I still sleep on the beach
Remember when Stars where in reach

Wandering in early to work
Spend my days licking boots for my perks

[Cliphead]

I look up at the stars
And wonder
Somewhere up there
Someone does the same

Bill Nelson. 'Fraid I'll have to pass on the other one!

Well done Wurzel - Fleetwod - may he rest in peace - would be proud of you.

About your Brother's job - all things must pass - for that is how we create a future - I am sure that your Brother is destined for greater things .

I too have experienced the suffering of losing people , jobs , money etc but in retrospect I realise that this is nicessaary to create the future.


As for One More Red NightMare - its the final apocalyptical track of King Crimsons Red Album - not for the faint hearted but Bill Bruffords drumming is par exellence.

PS Time - keeps on slipping -into the Future ...

Unfortunately not - I can receive BBC1 and 2 here in NL but not 4.

Which is a shame.

You should be able to pick up freesat, you might need a slightly bigger dish than usual, maybe an extra 10cm or so.

PS Do you Dream in Colour ?

It's still on iPlayer if you can get to that from there.

reminded me of a dream I had on Tuesday night.

I found myself in a wooden room with a desk and chair - on the desk there was a page with a mock examination Physics type question regarding Time Space and Relativity.

I have had a recurring dream for the last 20 years & it is truly terrifying. I dream that I am about to sit my organic chemistry final & I haven't been to any lectures all year so don't have any notes to revise from. Weird because this is actually what happened but why that should leave such an imprint on my psyche as opposed to all the many far more unpleasant things that have happened to me I'll never know.

Did you see the documentary all about prog rock on BBC4 last Friday? What a treat.

Unfortunately not - I can receive BBC1 and 2 here in NL but not 4.

Which is a shame.

I shall write to my Euro MP.

Or - on second thoughts - nothng really matters.

Well spotted though Wurzel - previously on this board only our dear departed FleetWood would have got that one.

PPS One More Red Nightmare ...

Aye Wurzel


Interesting contribution - which reminded me of a dream I had on Tuesday night.

I found myself in a wooden room with a desk and chair - on the desk there was a page with a mock examination Physics type question regarding Time Space and Relativity.

As I read the question I realised - 'Why yes I know the answer ...'

At which point my conciousness was flooded with light - there was no observor nor observed - just perfection in being in this state .

I think its what the Buddha named Satori.

I then awoke from the dream at appox 3 in the morning - there was nothing to do and nowhere to go - which was perfect.

I cannot recall the exact question I refered to - these things are probably encryted as frobidden knowledge. But it certainly concerned Time and Space.

Happy in this knowlege I feel asleep again - Starless and Bible Black.

All good Children go to Heaven

[wurzel]

In case you don't remember, this is what you do
Get up out of bed now
If there's nothing left to
Find the answer to - here is...
Question number one
If you're a believer...
what do you believe ?
Why do you believe it ?
Doncha ever wonder...
If it's really true...
Do you ? Question number two
Really... that's the mystery


Welcome back Alfred.

Just think!

Some night the stars will gleam
Upon a cold, grey stone,

And trace a name with silver beam,
And it will be your own.

That night is speeding on to greet
Your epitaphic rhyme.

Your life is but a little beat
Within the Heart of Time.

A little gain
A little pain
A laugh
A little fame

A Star-Gleam on a stone.
