The Age Of Descent I have closed Pandora's box No longer seek the golden fleece. Tried to put the apple back But it fell to dust at my feet. I've walked the shoals of loneliness No longer search the holy grail. Gave up the answers from the arts And now covert the paradox. I am being pushed to the brink One silver thread stays the abyss And I have grown no wings to fly The weight too heavy the pendulum. My wake slows in the pour of the sand And the silver strand is near to break. |

YOU ROCK... you are poetry in motion and by the wisdom in this jewel ... me thinks you had wisdom rice again this morn? or perhaps eloquence eggs? wise pondering potatoes? no....your just one SMART COOKIE  later-me-banquet of poetry-gator me |
