Old Machines

How old is too old
To have purpose
In the world?

This old heart
Still has a passion;
A wisdom I am told,
Experience in living
A willingness to share,
Encouragement for a heart;
A kind, listening ear.

How old is too old
To offer my hand
And care?

A dimmer light
Still burns.

Carolyn Brunelle

Classical Music

                                             Classical one is everlasting

Classical singers go begging.
Film vocalists flourish.
Hard-coated seed never dies,
Though late and slow in sprouts.

Shakespeare is poorly read
but is read over generations.

-Rm.Shanmugam Chettiar.

Fading Light

stay
 watch the fading of the light
 stay and savor
 the new darkness
 it owns you.

-Ric C. Bastasa
