Manowar & an old poem !!

Well "Hello" again Worlds !!

I wasn't thinking about posting anything else today... after this morning... but, something came to mind & I decided to share... well, in a minute or 2....

As I type, B & ME have both gone out... leaving J & my good self "home alone" !!  B has gone to her weight-watchers meeting & ME has gone out, to have a meal with M... her boyfriend.  So - that's the family...

The music of the moment is Manowar's 'Hell On Stage.. Live' 2 Cd set.. which I found earlier.  To explain...

When I started going thru' the old video tapes, I made a lot of room... mainly to space the Cd's out a little bit - trying to put them into some kind of order.  Well, what I didn't count on... was just how many tapes I was going to thro' away..... and because of this, I had some Cd's on a shelf, which - in a nutshell - I couldn't get to, very easily.

So - this afternoon, I spent a bit of time re-arranging things & putting the Cd's in a better place.  By doing that - I found this & other Manowar Cd's... & as I hadn't played them, for a month or 6... I thought I would give them a little play tonight !!  Just loud enough to wake up the village.... well, as everybody is - almost - out, why not ?!

Why not indeed..... !!

Anyhoo - to the thing I was going to write about.....

About 41 years ago.... honestly... I went on stage, at the Glastonbury festival & read a poem.... which, at the time, I knew by heart.  It wasn't too bad - there were a few thousand people there, but... I had the chance, so I took it.

When sorting out the Cd's earlier - I found the poem... on the back of one of The Monkees Cd's & I thought I would share it with you all, tonight... so, here goes !!

Blue is blue & must be that
but yellow is none the worst for it:
hearing only with ears
seeing only with eyes
feeling only with fingertips
& this & that creeps away
never having been known by men
to whom it would not of mattered anyway.
Stand easy children for God is good
& speaks softly to all men.

It's kind of a sad thing... but, I remember saying it, over the PA system, at the festival and getting a big round of applause for doing so.  At the time, I guess I was nervous, tho' - looking back at my life now - I've done other things, in front of fewer people & felt worse !!

Under the poem, it says "love Carlile Wheeling" (I think)... so, if that's who wrote it in the first place, I don't know..... but, it was good, finding it again, this afternoon !!  Onwards.....

Ok - I have to head for bed soon.... mainly as I have a busy day tomorrow... going to the clinic & stuff.  So... I will away to my bed.... as I say - I wasn't going to write again today - so, this is really kind of short & sweet !!

I must thank you all, for logging in today - it's great to know you are all "out there" reading my words !! As I've said many times... it amazes me, how many of you log in & how far away you all are !!  I thank you... until next time...

Bye Bye
