Some do and some don't Our lives are like a catalogue Of all that we have said and done. A little like a travelogue Directed by the skies and sun. We try to do the best we can And some succeed and some do not. And some will try to make a plan And some will do and some will not. But all are affable in dream Where the impossible is done. For this is where we plan and scheme Regardless of the sky or sun. And I have sailed this argosy Have scaled outrageous facts of go Have sung the song of primacy Sewed aspires ipsofacto. Felt agony and ecstasy In triumph of a fantasy. |

Our lives are like a catalogue Of all that we have said and done. A little like a travelogue Directed by the skies and sun ======================== But all are affable in dream Where the impossible is done. For this is where we plan and scheme Regardless of the sky or sun. And I have sailed this argosy Have scaled outrageous facts of go Have sung the song of primacy Sewed aspires ipsofacto. Felt agony and ecstasy In triumph of a fantasy. ========================= *getting out dictionary*  "argosy":a large merchant ship: a fleet of ships **** "ipso facto":by that very fact or act : as an inevitable result **** My eyes danced across this poem of wisdom and grace and its cryptic, cool, message brought a smile to my face and I do so adore poetry that makes me think and I do so adore the way you write and the way you wink and as I searched for the meaning of the words ... defining the things "we do and dont do" in the poets bible by Webster...next to Wisdom and Cool ... I just had to smile ... for there I found a picture of you. *winkiewinkie* THIS POEM ROCKS and is one of my new favs of yours...way cool dont touch it... but this poem is just so very cool in its deliverance and its wisdom. yet another one for my SY-GUY files... under C for COOOOOL.. later-so-very-wise-gator me |

perfectly stated... this poem has to be a design for life... "an afixiation a fix on anything the line of life the limb of a tree the hands of he and the promise that s/he is blessed among women". Patti Smith |
