(653) December 8, 2011: That Feeling In The Bones

Posted by D. Edgar Lamp on December 14, 2011 at 12:45 PM

THAT FEELING IN THE BONES


That feeling in the bones connects to rain

    In wrinkled farmers counting out their days

On rocking chairs with creaking joints of pain,

    Though not so purely accurate in ways

That crafty numbers can with certainty explain.


But still it happens often as they swear

    It does, and sneering doubters can go hang.

Some things don't recognize the rules we wear

     Around our necks like status-yin-quo-yang,

But ache us out beyond what's merely Here or There.

I can't believe that you are still on the cruise ship!! OMG you must be having the time of your life. Fiji must have been amazing where to now? Moon? Mars? It's going to be hard coming home and just sitting on your front porch rocking in your chair when now you know what is really out there.
I bet you are dreading the trip to end. You should check out the "The World" ship that you can buy "apts" on and you just end up sailing the rest of your life living on a ship that tours the world.
