A Point to Weigh I cannot see the end of why Within my dreams or in the sky I’ve spent a lifetime searching though I think that I will never know. I hear a clock that tics away A pendulum that cuts the day And when it swings into the night I dream and try to make it right. The blade lowers each breath I take It lowers time in change forsake. And I am drowning in the sand That rules the life upon this land. I did observe one thing that’s true It’s never changed my view of you. You still remain my flowered goal The love and peace you bring my soul I’ve never pointed why your way It is a point I truly weigh. |

in this quiet circumspect I find a Fellow I respect who weighs his way of pondered say and leaves me smiling through the day |

I cannot see the end of why Within my dreams or in the sky I’ve spent a lifetime searching though I think that I will never know. ===================================== The blade lowers each breath I take It lowers time in change forsake. And I am drowning in the sand That rules the life upon this land. I did observe one thing that’s true It’s never changed my view of you. You still remain my flowered goal The love and peace you bring my soul I’ve never pointed why your way It is a point I truly weigh. ====================================== Dearest Sy...sometimes your poetry and the heart and soul that lies within the words just touch me so deeply. These poems that reflect your personal ponderance of ones "twi-light years" just leave me lacking the words to tell you how impressive and dear you and your poetry are. Your wisdom and grace, bring a tear to my eye and a smile to my face Me loves you for that sweet Stinky  *ww*  meI would wait till the end of time for you, Then do it all again ... it's true. I can't measure my love for you, There's nothing to compare it to. [This message has been edited by Janet Marie (edited 11-18-2001).] |

~The Weight of Why~ When left to ponder the scales of time Our unending wonder of reason and rhyme So many answers will remain forever unspoken Still the seasons cycle is constant ... unbroken Wise men tell us ... wonder not ... ask not why Perhaps they know man could never explain the sky Live each day in kind ... as if it might be our last Each night dream in rewind ... come to peace with our past Let then ... our dreams tip the scales Let the winds of change ... carry our sails Etch your name ... in the sands of time Wisdom left behind ... in your gifted rhyme Though we might wish and wonder otherwise Time slips through our fingers right before our eyes The memories will linger ... as if time stands still Moments that fulfill and thrill ... engraving us in infinite until As time takes us across that line ... 'tis then we search for a sign Let this rhyme define, you have aged divine ... like the finest of fine wine. ~~~~~~~~  ~~~~~ Some see the hour glass as half empty ... Some know in turn it will always be half full Eyes of wise will realize ... You are the poet of way COOL **see how you inspire I would wait till the end of time for you, Then do it all again ... it's true. I can't measure my love for you, There's nothing to compare it to.

Sy-- "The blade lowers each breath I take It lowers time in change forsake. And I am drowning in the sand That rules the life upon this land." Your poetic ponderings touch a place in me that understands. |
