Thoughts from a Conversation about Happiness
I don’t need
fine clothes
a good home
a fast car
or lots of food.
Happiness
comes from
your state of mind
everything else is derived

with a smile.

whistling a song

Going to plant them today
as a surprise
and make someone's day.

Poem Mar 18th 2014

This is a poem which I originally wrote in 1999 and I found it again today. I have decided to publish it today. It also appears on the Lovin the Asylum Blog

Doors
Is it really easy
when one is feeling queasy?
Choices are not so simple.
One spirit,but many paths
each equally right;
laden with uncertainity,
and curiousity.
The doors remain open
yet one keeps on hoping
for some sign
to signify the truth.
Barring help from above
One must seek it alone
then all victories,
and defeats, gains and losses
are your own.
Trying and troubling as a Zen Koan.
You are the riddle,
and the resolution.

Learning lines
make you pine
for freedom of action
until you master them
feeling contracted

Travelling

Hi Everyone
Over the next few days I will be travelling.  I am unsure, if where I will be, will have Internet access.
If not them my poems will return sometime late on Sunday Mar 10th. However, if there is access, the poems will come every day.

Best Wishes and Warmest Regards
Blair

keeping hope alive

Hectic 1
Standing around
people
coming
going
some running
as if they're rowing
in a race
see the look
on other's faces
an impression
that they are in the wrong place.
