Placed on a pedestal
above all others

Residing on a cloud
of white feathers

There on a throne
of silver, of gold

Reaching out
the hands to hold

Pondering long
and wanting to say

On this lofty perch
I cannot stay

For, on this seat
I do not deserve

To be in honor,
to keep and serve.

My place, you see
is so simply there

On the ground hard
where we shall share

For, in this man’s heart
resides my humility

And beside you all,
I remain, lovingly

You know
some people
deserve pedestals
like cream
rising
to the top

Magnus darling boy this is quite simply gorgeous, are you sure you aren’t cheating, your writing is being distilled into shorter and ever more lovely drops of liquid delight which drench my soul in a Oh of breathless wonder. simply put darling heart this is perfect However I know you like my rambling replies so I didn’t want to stint you.

There’s music within this drop of crystallised light, music that bathes my heart in an amazing array of colour and sound. Look within the music and hear colour, look within the colour and feel the light. What I’ve taken an age to say is I love it utterly utterly love it it’s a divine and beautifully crafted piece

Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

and there you shall remain!

Well, ok, Barry. It will be hard thinking of you not elevated, or at least high, but welcome back to the grovelers!

you write so well and deserve recognition and from one "landing zone" to another you should enjoy the elevation - great poem - Paul
