I’ve Built I’ve dreamt a dream I cannot share Built on things that are not there A mental voyage of a wile Upon a timeless desert Isle A phantom made of light and shade A pasquinade within a glade A flight upon a rainbow light Sheer fantasies of the night It’s when my feet are on the ground And fantasies are not around It’s there I’m subject to the real And at a loss to use surreal I shrink and fade into naïve Pierced by winks of doubts believe I cannot cross the bridge of fail Or grasp the tiger by the tail A coward dies a thousands ends And this is one I can’t defend |

It’s when my feet are on the ground And fantasies are not around It’s there I’m subject to the real And at a loss to use surreal I shrink and fade into naïve Pierced by winks of doubts believe Reality just isn't any fun, isn't it? *S* I like this very much, my friend. *S* |

You do know you are going to be 84 pretty soon I hope? You sir, have not ever once been away from reality more than you need to be, and every single day - you are like my cornflakes, a ritual ... Sy's thought for today becomes my thought until I can digest it, and get this engine in gear and running. So...to put it short as I can - I dig you daddy-o! I can't thank you enough for letting me share your dreams and journeys. |

 Grab that tiger by its tail Ride life's waves with full-blown sail Put a star in to your pocket And carry love in your heart locket.  Love 'n hugs, EA [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (02-02-2006 06:30 PM).] |

"A phantom made of light and shade A pasquinade within a glade A flight upon a rainbow light Sheer fantasies of the night" A fascinating poem. |
