PAINTING STUDIO OFF LINE A Stephen Craig Rowe Poem

Introduction:  Thank you Sassene for the Mother's Day Post and for letting folks know that I am ok.  More than words can tell.    http://mypersonalstory.spaces.live.com/
 
PAINTING STUDIO OFF LINE
A Stephen Craig Rowe Poem
For nearly a week
This computer was deaf and dumb.
Profound silence without
A link to the World, web,
Home, and friends.
I could watch the televison.....
but could not talk to you.
I tried to call friends in China on my phone
but could not connect.
I went to work, came home
Tried to get on line.
Nothing.  All the quick fixes.....
Nothing.
Calls to Comcast
Nothing
Calls to Microsoft
Nothing
Calls to MSN
Nothing.
No help here Sir!  Let me connect you to blah, blah, blah.
Of course, I was big time WTF!
That got me back on line again.
Whew!  It has been a long week.
Am glad to be home and back in the
Saddle again.  As ever be well,
Stephen Craig Rowe

Mother's Day

 
Mother's Day
 
Old Mother's and New
Are honored
For once a Mother
Forever a Mother
In our blood, bones,
Heart, thoughts and
Spirit.
Though some are gone
and others far away
They are thought of
and prayed for.
As they are
Forever Loved.
 
As ever be well.  With love, Stephen Craig Rowe

Note: The post was reposted from last year at Stephen's request. He wanted me to let you all know that he is fine, and that he was having computer/internet troubles since last Thursday. He is going to be extremely busy today at his work for Mother's Day. He asked me to stop by here and to wish you all a very happy Mother's Day on his behalf. He misses you all, and loves you all. Stephen said that he is going crazy without typing a post, or leaving a comment. Hopefully he will get his computer problem resolved soon!
 
Thank you,
Sassene

Talking about PAINTING STUDIO In The Light Of Day, Spring Poem by Stephen Craig Rowe

 

Quote

PAINTING STUDIO In The Light Of Day, Spring Poem by Stephen Craig Rowe
In the
Light
of day
Took time to
Talk to the
Roses. 
Fingers in
damp cool earth
Nuturing
Tiny shoots
and marvel
colors of small
Leaves. 
Some green,
Some purple
All pulsing and
pushing toward
the Sky.
Sun shown shadow
shoulder sweep
a
glance at three
High Hawks
Soaring
turning a wing.
Lawn mowers drone
in the scent of
Fresh cut lawns
Open windows lend
Air and light
Within and without.
Trees are green
( i talk to them too, in a manner of speaking.)
Walking joggers past me by
and smiled.
As I prayed and
Walked
in the
Light of Day.
One hand in the Earth
and
One hand in the
Stars!   
Ever care for the Roses and the people. 
Each and every Light is unique and
has ever been and ever shall be of you.
For you are the Light of the World.
As ever be well,  With love,  Stephen Craig Rowe
 
HOW I WISH YOU WERE HERE
Pink Floyd lyrics:
 
 
 So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell,
Blue skys from pain.
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail?
A smile from a veil?
Do you think you can tell?

And did they get you to trade
Your heros for ghosts?
Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for a cool breeze?
Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage?

How I wish, how I wish you were here.
We're just two lost souls
Swimming in a fish bowl,
Year after year,
Running over the same old ground.
What have we found?
The same old fears.  Pink Floyd

PAINTING STUDIO On The Road And In The Light Again!

UPDATE:  This morning Wednesday April 30th, 2,008 I met with the surgeon and reviewed the pathology report of several biopsies.  NO CANCER!   As I sat at the desk a bit of me floated back into me that had been away in not knowing.  Prayers kept me awake most of night rather than fear and wonder.  Then I saw the sunrise, birdsong and sweet tiny leaves in the trees.  In the near future I will have a part of my colon removed as a precautionary measure because of high grade dysplasia that may become carcinomia.  A date is not set for the operation because it will require a week of hospitilization and 4 or 5 weeks of recovery.  Time off work, Family and after care are a factor.  God it is good to be on the road again and in the Light!
 

          

      Artist:  Willie Nelson,  Song:  On The Road Again

On the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
On the road again
Goin' places that I've never been
Seein' things that I may never see again,
And I can't wait to get on the road again.

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again
Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again

On the road again
Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway
We're the best of friends
Insisting that the world be turnin' our way
And our way
Is on the road again

Just can't wait to get on the road again
The life I love is makin' music with my friends
And I can't wait to get on the road again
And I can't wait to get on the road again

Thank you, God bless you,

As ever be well.  With love,  Stephen Craig Rowe

And this just because it is great old song.

 

 LOUVIN BROTHERS LYRICS IN THE PINES

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows
little girl, little girl, what have i done
thats made you treat me so

You've caused me to weep, you've caused me to mourn
You've caused me to leave my home
In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

The longest train I ever saw
Went down that Georgia Line
The engine passed at six o'clock
and The cab went by at nine

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

The longest train I ever saw
was 19 holters long
the only girl i ever loved
is on that train and gone

In the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines
And you shiver when the cold wind blows

Talking about Painting Studio Poem Walking The Stones

 

Quote

Painting Studio Poem Walking The Stones
Introduction:  Home again and all went well.  Back to Danville on Wed the 30th for the pathology report. 
                          After seeing my Surgeon this past Tuesday I had some free time before dinner
                           and walked to the Danville National Cemetary.  It was a fine spring day.
 
WALKING THE STONES
Spring sweet blooms
Blossoms
buds and
twittering
Birdsong
Sun warmed face.
Breaking my stride
To a slow march
as
Row and row of
White Stones
Row after row of
White Stones
Appeared.
Stark upon
Dark green
Late
Afternoon lawn.
Alone
I walked the Stones
Reading inscriptions
Name, Rank,
Branch of Service,
Campaign.
Date of
Birth
and
Death.
With reverance
softly touched
some
Stones with
Hand and
thoughts.
In the center of the
Cemetary stands a
Statue.
Stark white Stones
Cast
Late afternoon
Shadows
As
I
Unseen
Formaly marched around
the statue.
At each compass point
North, South, East and West
Stopped and faced the Stones.
Came to Attention
And saluted
The Silence
In Honor and
Respect
Then went
Walking the
Stones.
 
As ever be well.  With love,  Stephen Craig Rowe

    O TEU carinho ameniza minha dor,

    Obrigada, por fazeres parte de minha vida,

    À Memória Da Anarda

    Já de novo a meus olhos aparecem

    A graça, o riso, as flores da alegria;

    Já na minha teimosa fantasia

    Cuidados que velavam adormecem.

    Nascemos para amar; a Humanidade

    Vai, tarde ou cedo, aos laços da ternura.

    Tu és doce atractivo, ó Formusura,

    Que encanta, que seduz, que persuade.

    A frouxidão no amor é uma ofensa,

    Ofensa que se eleva a grau supremo;

    Paixão requer paixão; fervor e extremo

    Com extremo e fervor se recompensa.

    Se um celeste poder, tirano e duro,

    Às vezes extorquisse as liberdades,

    Que prestava, ó Razão, do teu lume puro?

    Não forçam corações as divindades:

    Fado amigo não há, nem fado escuro;

    Fados são as paixões, são as vontades.

    Bocage (1765-1805)

    Faltam-me as palavras
     
    nos dedos tristes
     
    porque não sei escrever
     
    a falta que me fazes 
     
    e as saudades não se escrevem
     
    porque há sorrisos que nem sempre
     
    sei sorrir longe de ti 
     
    Faltam-me as palavras nos dedos tristes
     
    porque não sei escrever
     
    a vontade de teus beijos
     
    porque a distância não se escreve
     
    e há verdades de amor
     
    que só as digo no teu olhar
     
     Faltam-me as palavras
     
    e morrem-me nos dedos
     
    porque não consigo escrever
     
    vontades, sinto-as no teu corpo
     
     Não sei escrever palavras
     
    que não chegam para dizer amo-te
     
    sem abraçar-te e quero nunca mais ter
     
    de as escrever...
