Pete (who knows where his heart is...)

You got a heart? During my Sergeanting-Daze there were those who swore
that I had no such organ... just a thumpin' gizzard.

He probably keeps his heart in a jar under the stairs.


No, my brain is in a jar, in between the times I need to acquire a new body
for it... :-)

My heart was broken and discarded long ago... <sob> :-)

Here's a poem I wrote at the time (many years ago now)...

After the Fall



you took it all

except my heart

(why would you take a broken plaything?)



I found bits of it

buried amongst sand dunes at Omanu

tumbling in eternal crashing surf on Ocean Beach

spread across dark green

Ohauiti Welcome Bay

hills tumbling down forever

from turquoise sky

to tranquil harbour

reflective at high tide.



land is solid persistent

never failing, never faithless

truth and light

comfort me now

I am calm



Perhaps, this place can do what all the King's Horses

And all the King's Men

Could not.



=====================================



There is certainly something rejuvenative and restorative in living in
beautiful surroundings. We all need to recharge our batteries
occasionally...



Pete.
