We have met, and we both know how.
You have happened to me, and I think I know why.
Perhaps it's synchronicity, mysterious in itself;
Two lives, like Spode, stored safely on a shelf
But now needing to be needed, put back into use,
Risk being shattered.
Yes, if dropped, we could break,
But please use us, for God's sake.
Tapping the Keg of Feelings, Imagination and Inspiration. Posts to this blog first appeared as poems and thoughts in The Poet and the Pendulum,@2001,Lee Neubert Lindeman, Lighthouse Keeper Publishing, Cape Cod, MA. That collection was originally intended to be a kind of memoir for my four sons and their families. I've been surprised and grateful that some of my offerings have touched others. That positive feedback encourages my staying around.

Personal Profile
- Leanderthal, Lighthouse Keeper
- Eastham, Cape Cod, MA, United States
- Retired CEO of an industrial company,now a work/life navigation career counselor and coach, I have enjoyed writing since my English major days at Amherst College. I self-published "The Poet and the Pendulum" in 2001, sixty some poems, rhymes and doggerels of my own. I decided to publish a blog after reading respected journalists likening blogs to pamphlets and papers published during the founding days of this country. I feel strongly the need for alternatives to the so-called main stream media, generally acknowledged and considered to have political leanings. MSM also can be influenced by big money and/or the need to maintain access to politicians; both behaviors usually resulting in the pulling of punches,and often asscociated with taking a dive for money, attributes of greed and cowardice. I am registered to vote, with no political affiliation. In MA there is no Independent category. I support individuals who are recognized as authorities on important issues, and definitely not simply because they happen to be, for a time, in positions of authority.

The second stanza, with its fear and its braveness linked hand in hand, takes my breath away.
Thanks so much for telling me that the words I wrote down in an attempt to describe feelings, touched you.
This poem is one of sixty-some which I self-published in 2001 in a collection, The Poet and the Pendulum.
It was intended to be a kind of memoir for my four sons and their families. Several people have told me that I
should put them out there for others to read.
And so, recently I have posted a few of them on my blog, The Thirsty Muse.
I'm happy that somehow you came across it.
Tell me about you and what you are up to.
I like this one, the comparison you make is nice.
Can you feel your soul touching mine
can you feel it, it yearns all the time
It longs to be with you
to be held, to be loved
It longs to be with you
to fly away like a dove
Can you feel your soul touching mine
can you feel it, it years all the time
