Light My wick burns low I need more bite More tallow for forever’s night The shallow of the wick burns low The tallow and the wick die slow. A wave of whispers’ sigh to me They bring dark mist from out the sea. That breaks upon a weakened shoal That mutes my light and takes its toll. The stars have feeble to small awe There bright is but a blur no more. Where once they bore a diamond shine They dim within this mind of mine. Yet still the light has some to burn Perhaps to light a future earn A one to light the dark anew To bright the dark a lighter blue My wick burns low I need more bite More tallow for forever’s night. |

I think your wick burns well with thought even when it's burning low. This is a very enjoyable read......a WICKed word it does not state.......but neither written in great haste...........I WICK you well with your reflecting thoughts |

To bright the dark a lighter blue What images you invoke. I enjoyed this very much Tracey If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please? |

Perhaps some fresh oxygen is called for to inspire the light once more...? True to your form and style, and I enjoyed. -MVS "It's all in the details -- the Big Picture always takes care of itself." |

Dear Seymour, Your "wave of whispers" did more than "sigh to me", they spoke loud and clear. Thankyou for your ease of words. |
