Rewrite: The Mote A mote surrounds my ego’s wall Protects me from the wherewithal A fluid wile of subtle style That hosts this flesh and bone, this pile Took years of mortar and invent To build this wall of stone cement From labors of the sifting sand Of grain on grain to build the land Each wonder of my leisure mind That took me years and years to bind And now I have a castle high With mote that circles green in fie I walk the ramparts night and day And watch for ghosts that come my way Those phantoms that would pass within To make a blemish on my skin Today the mote has welt with grime And ego’s wall has melt with time |

Shore up the walls, dear man, for the magic you weave to share with us has a strength that cannot fade but feeds the soul of our hearts with vision and delight from an artist and great knight....*big hugs* |

"each wonder of my leisure mind That took me years and years to bind" ...and too, my mind might wander on a whim but for the moat that's think or thwim!  hugs, Klassy |
