Today’s Throwback poem does not appear on my website, but I saw it by chance in my Tullawalla Booklet, No. 24, I Softly Walk, from July 2021. So now “Our Random Kingdom” is officially on my website.





Our Random Kingdom
Sometimes we put pieces away
Because our emotions altered the next day
But the thoughts are there to stay
And arise again to be an honest display
The whispering wind is an elusive creature
Mother nature’s operatic music teacher
Our random sculptor’s hands of life
Shaping our fate with her palate knife
That damn old clock never stops
Not even for a pause
To chat with Santa Claus
Even Father Time’s sundial shadow
Enternally works every tomorrow
But let me say, there will come a day
When love will be here to stay

Everything, is not, permanent, no matter how much we want things, people, to last, to stay with us forever, everything will, eventually be, stolen by, time.
