Old age, believe me, is
a good and pleasant thing.
It is true you are gently
shouldered off the stage,
but then you are given
such a comfortable front stall
as spectator.
Confucius
but evil mind
Persuades the mob,
great woes befall the state.
Euripides, Orestes
They were all dressed
in their finest
as though life really were
some magical stage play
in which every moment
ought to be illuminated
with its own bright spotlight.
Anna Godbersen
The world is a stage,
but the play
is badly cast.
Oscar Wilde
Beneath the moon’s
Soft silver gleam,
The world dissolves
Into a dream.
Petals close
Stars take flight,
Healing pervades
This quiet night.
A breath, a sigh
In stillness deep,
My soul surrenders
Gladly to sleep.
Where rivers glow
My memories play,
With dreams of tomorrow
As I drift away.

Gorgeous photos, wonderful quotes and lovely poetry! Aloha!
Good morning Claudia!!
Wonderful photos!
I really liked your poem,
under the moonlight the most incredible things happen!
I also liked the quote about old age, it is certainly more difficult for those who have learned to be protagonists in life!!
Love that Confucious quote - and am much happier as a spectator than a player.

Here we say that growing old is not for wimps.
That quote with Confucius is a stunning wisdom
Thanks for your thoughtful comment over at mine. Scores of people are being impacted by that madman.
...being grounded is a wonderful thing.
Great quotes today. I love your poem with the pic of the sleepy Pixie, Cloudia. ;-)
Oh wow, your dream poem is simply lovely. Have a beautiful day!
Love the tree and plants and Pixie of course.
The dream poem is wonderful.
Take care, enjoy your day and have a great week!
Love your poem and the great quotes today. Pixie looks like she is enjoying sweet dreams.
Perfect poem for the perfect cat! Blessings, Cloudia!
Im pretty sure that cats dream!
Wonderful photos and Pixie looks so content. I will say that as far as I am concerned Confucius got this one wrong. LOL
Well done on the poem! I know April used to be poetry month, but I just don't have it in me!
truth
Glad we share it
Thanks My Friends! Fond Aloha
Such a great post, Claudia. Beautiful photos and lovely poetry. I believe I followed your posts from my old blog years ago. I am so happy to have found you again. 💕
So sorry, I thought sure I typed Cloudia
The red outfit girl, what is on the bottom of her foot? It looks like a 2x4.
Art imitating life it seems :) Palm trees on the wall and right in front of it. Thanks for participating in Monday Murals Cloudia.
Beautiful photography and beautiful quotes. The most beautiful is Pixie.
Thank you for joining the Awww Mondays Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Awww Monday and week. Scritches to Pixie. ♥
Beautiful poem, Amazing series of photos. Mural looks great. Cute Pixie :)
Have a nice week ahead.
I love the Oscar Wilde quote. He might be talking about our politicians in DC. I love the palms, too. What a beautiful poem for a beautiful Pixie.
Of course, I was blown away by that lovely young lady i that two piece outfit dressed like a "magical stage play" and carrying a bottle of water. It's perfect for T this Tuesday, dear Cloudia.
Pixie looks content.
Beautiful blue skies. WE've had so much wet and grey weather. Hugs and Happy T day to you and Pixie.
The quote from Euripides certainly holds true for today. Pixie dreams. She so cute. Happy T Day
Euripedes had foresight. His quote is very appropriate.
Happy belated T-Day,
Lisca
Love your poem.....
