Pacing Footsteps Pacing footsteps on the floor I would you stop and try the door. Hours are draining through times hole There is little time for your goal. What use to pace a timeless cast? To hang from ropes from out the past Or place your heart upon a door Just open it and find the store. The dark that seems to block your road Are phantoms of another mode? Place your foot upon a path And it will give your mind a bath. Echoes like the birds that fly Flap their wings the shape of why. But skies are free and full of hue Open your hand, collect some dew Set your sail the wind is fair It’s waiting for a simple dare. |

Seymour darling boy oh what a wonderful piece of delight this is, have you any idea the joy I get from seeing a Seymour poem? Perhaps you might have some clue, since I cannot do subtle, and those delicate nuances of appreciation just aren’t my style. Obviously I’m a typically English soul, quite unassuming, and more than capable of fading silently into the background. NOT Anyway this is another utterly utterly perfectly penned poem from you and I absolutely love it. Thank you for my making my morning. As always Mushy    To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Sometimes we do too much pacing Only shadows are we chasing I, for one, agree with your open door policy and it's so wonderfully written'Liz |

The first stanza is just fine brought a little girl to rhyme she peeked through the door of key found Sy and Randy making tea and then she heard the dragon roar watching Sy write of evermore she brushed him gently with her wing promising solace in her sing you clever gent...my rhyme you bent |

The dark that seems to block your road Are phantoms of another mode? Place your foot upon a path And it will give your mind a bath. Echoes like the birds that fly Flap their wings the shape of why. But skies are free and full of hue Open your hand, collect some dew Set your sail the wind is fair It's waiting for a simple dare. ============================== *shaking my head and smiling at you* Stinkylove there are so many cool lines in this that all I can do is crown you my king of cool...  I just adore these lines..... "What use to pace a timeless cast? To hang from ropes from out the past" "The dark that seems to block your road Are phantoms of another mode?" "Place your foot upon a path And it will give your mind a bath." and these line take the cake of cool... "Echoes like the birds that fly Flap their wings the shape of why." I've now had my daily requirement of Sy-wise-rice. *L* I do so love the way your mind works.... it bathes us all in wisdom and way cool. *smiling at Sun's poetic reply too* |
