Doxology

We all search for the golden ring
We’re all cut from a silver string.
Some search in and some search out
But that we search there is no doubt.

Some search the sea for answers there
Some climb the mountains in despair.
Some search a sacred inner home
Some search the outer face of stone.

Some treat life with a velvet glove
Some think the answer lays in love.
We do the dictates of our heart
That is the most important part.

Some hold the string until the end
Some reach and twist in symbols bend
And some will say we don’t exist
And some will swear, beyond the mist.

But truth lays in Pandora’s box
Beyond its lid lays paradox.

everything here is a memory in a way, cause we all do it.  I think it's in MUSIC      
and oh, poetry of course.

sometimes we just have to stop looking and surrender to ourselves!

and wend to it a way to feel...

Sy:

"The search is on
'for time is gone"

Much enjoyed the thought behind this poem..and always, the word fly of Sy.

Im giving up me raspberry tea ...
My nectar is found in your poetry
Thy rhymes go down like cherry kool-aid
Not one single word of wise would I trade
*L* *winkiewinkie*

Could this poem be any cooler????
Could the poet????
me thinks not  


I would wait till the end of time for you,
Then do it all again ... it's true.
I can't measure my love for you,
There's nothing to compare it to.

I sigh when I read the wisdom of Sy. This is a very fine treat to start my day. Yes, we all search, and the pathways can be very different, indeed.

We all search onward, Seymour.  You are right, but perhaps we try too hard?  I think it's very possible the answers we seek lie within and before us, but we are too busy to notice their worth.  Thanks for the pondering.  *S*

All writing comes
by the grace of God.

Ah, Sy, you set the gray cells scrambling with this one....and I think it is indeed a paradox. The beauty of life is in the search. If one is not searching, one is not living. When the search ends, so does life. May we continue searching for a long time!!

Lone Wolf,
Thank you for the thoughtful comment.

Balladeer,
An obvious and practical answer I can't say no to that.
