Humanity might get wiped out of the surface of earth.
And nature wouldn’t care.
It is in its kind to go.
Undisturbed!
Uncaring!
For the infant that helplessly relies on her.
For nature nothing ever begins.
Ever ends!
Ever exists!

There's nothing left between you &I                                                                ­                                                   
                                                                ­                                                      
I don't know about you; I tried                                                                    ­                                                       
You don't love anyone but yourself                                                                                   ­                                                 
You broke me & put me through hell             
                                               ­                                                                   
  Our whole lives I gave you my all                                                                                 ­                                                 
  When I needed you, you let me fall                                                                              ­                                                      
I closed my eyes & forgave you still                                                            ­                                                                         ­                                             
                                                                ­                                              
  While you were busy breaking my will                                                                          ­                                      
  I bent until I was broken in two                                                              ­
                                                                ­                                                        
   I see it all now, it's in clear view                                                                           ­                                                
  As I walk away from you

i have a corner for myself
a little crevice to feel safe
thoughts and emotions
dwell and swell
fanatic explosions of
genuine expressions of
what’s inside, embalmed darkness.

my little neural garden
sunflowers, petals broaden
her courage emanates;
her glow has become my sun
it would be nice, she be my own.

The music of JS Bach Influenced by the Chinese

I read a decade ago that JS Bach's THE WELL-TEMPERED KLAVIER had been preceded by the Chinese in the Ming Dynasty.

Chu Tsai-Yu invented 'Equal Temperament In Music' in 1584, an idea that filtered to the West through Pere Marin Mersenne's book ' Harmonie Universelle in 1636).
JS Bach seized upon the idea...

Singing together

in a circle we pass on --


our breath wavily.
