Questions
Questions by JAB Sr Can I live? Do I take more than I give? Can I be? Do I spread Love or Negativity? Am I alone? Is this house even my home?

Stray and Cold
A tabby cat walks the bank of a frozen stream, her kittens swinging in her belly. The sky is bright and still, holding its breath until the return of spring. The trees watch her pad through the snow, their pointed peaks whispering to each other in the silent winter air.

Love the darkness of life
Life is a chaos between light and darkness: in life, nothing is fully realized, nothing is finished; The new sounds are always mixed with the old ones that have been heard before to form a chorus. All things flow, and all things are being transformed into one another, and the mixture is not harmonious and pure, and will even fall apart and vanish; There is absolutely nothing in the world that is always prosperous. To live means to be destroyed, and to be doomed if not to last a lifetime.

The notes
In the long road of life, there will always be a few very special people, just like you. Perhaps just pure spiritual sustenance, perhaps can not be simply classified as a friend, because you pour love beyond the boundaries of general friends, but can not sublimate to the feeling of love, between us often light as water. That emotion, which is beyond friendship and cannot be classified as love, is something in between. Sometimes life is quiet like a dry well, but with a friend like you, there will be some ripples in my life, some color, I think of you. Silently remember you, maybe this life this world will not forget you.

Cherries
Red in the cheeks, you are the the sweetest fruit. We exist in hypotheticals. Perhaps in a universe far away from this one, we actually made it.

Understand you, is the most warm companion
How many people are there, From acquaintance acquaintance to only one name; How much love there is, From vows of eternal love to leave a once;

The ability is forced out!
German philosopher Hegel said, if there is no love, all the great cause in the world will not succeed. Love, reflecting a person's political consciousness, reflecting a person's ideological realm, is the most dynamic "factor" in doing business. When you choose a career, you choose a lifestyle.

Some Days I Just Cannot Write A Word
There are days when I don’t write. Some days I need a rest. Some days my mind is empty. I always feel I am not good enough even though people continually tell me I am.

Collection of non-wisdom
All but one of these poems were written when I was a teenager. A time when I thought I was smarter than most yet carried little wisdom. See if you can spot the one I wrote when I was not a teenager.
