Who lends recovers not; or if he recovers, recovers not all; or if not all, not much; of if much, a mortal enemy.

Tower
Fade into wooden towers of lovers,
My bench corrodes itself and recovers.

I think where I differ a little bit, we absolutely have to think about the deficit looking down the road. And certainly that's something the president has said that we need to, as the economy recovers, have a plan in place for getting it down.

To be here recovers from a state of soul, from a state of mind. I have the memory of the heart. I know what I received. I must have the will to give back to others.

Even if severe wounds are given, the Indian has many chances in his favor, for his organization is somewhat different from that of white men, and he recovers easily from wounds that would kill any European outright.

Shying Away....
it is not the falsity that makes
someone shy away
it is the truth that like a turtle
plunges deep inside a pail
of left-overs
showing its head only
when all of them
leave
and as he again recovers
his privacy
he finally shows the house
of its body.

One thus sees that a new kind of theory is needed which drops these basic commitments and at most recovers some essential features of the older theories as abstract forms derived from a deeper reality in which what prevails in unbroken wholeness.

I Agree
... that before humans
destroy the earth
they get destroyed in the
first place,
you must be talking
about us then
for what else can be be?
there is no third person
between us
we breathe the same air
and walk on this same land
we are destroyed
and then i agree again
the earth recovers
when we all are gone

There are pauses amidst study, and even pauses of seeming idleness, in which a process goes on which may be likened to the digestion of food. In those seasons of repose, the powers are gathering their strength for new efforts; as land which lies fallow recovers itself for tillage.

A Conflict
Deep darkness fears me at night,
Sable thoughts surround me tight,
Run I to the dark corners to escape,
Wrestle against inner self and fight,
The conflicting struggle continues,
Till I exhaust and lose the might,
The next day recovers me again,
And the night brings the same plight.

Not to Be Forgotten
Jaded by the suddenness of one's quick death.
With a quick breath taken,
There comes this acceptance unexpected that sits.
A numbing affect takes place.
And any happiness seems as if a universe away.
Until a healing recovers emotions.
And with 'divine' spirit...
A loss that is loved makes all okay,
Again! But not to be forgotten. As long as life is lived.
