The Eye of the needle

To pass the soul through the needles eye
You must say goodbye.
Breathe your goal to the mist of smoke
And you must not choke.

Dance the sound of silent music
Without getting sick.
Send half your heart to revel
The rest the devil

See three diminutions as one
Then you have begun.
Make real of your imagine
For it’s the javelin.

Pass your ghost to the other side
There you will abide.
In an anti worlds negative force
And that is the course.

The needle shapes an hourglass
And some never know of the pass.

Those two verses alone pass the reader thru the eye of the WAY COOL needle!!!!
You stitch your name in the sands of time with your golden threads of rhyme divine.
(and across this mothy heart of mine)

Sy,

Oh my! Interesting write, for sure.
It is also food for thought. And one I will come back to read again and again to get better clarity.

Hugs, Pat

(sigh) And by all means necessary, that needle must face out straight to the horizon so it can reach beyond what we see of dawn! (big hugggssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
