Common Too

I ring a bell of common shell
Through common air we breath as well.
Drink a toast of common water
To our common change transporter

We share a common world you see
Whatever was or comes to be.
We walk upon a common earth
Experienced a common birth.

And we all eat of common rice
Although there is no common price
But hand and hand we are the same
With equal and a common blame.

If this is so why do we fight?
Each has a day each has a night.
There is no sense to what we do
We all should have a common view.

If common be our common bail
There is no reason we should fail.

Nice try me Stinkylove, but we all know there is nothing common about you and that you eat wise rice
Oh yeah..and that you are uncommonly COOL
and no one could ever call your couplet common either!!
Just let them try..they have to go thru this common moth. LOL

JM,
Wisdom is a mind in bail
Weighed upon a common scale.
And all the votes are not in yet. LOL

Seymour darling boy this is utterly utterly indescribable in is concept of peace and harmony. Uncanny how you write the thought that was winging around my head today. You are uncommonly good at that.

When peace with its love of hope does flow
Over hearts and souls that need it so
Then words that fell from Seymour’s pen
Give peaceful harmony a time of when
To gather all that’s good and true
We the people will turn to you
Use your pen to write the touch of light
Guide us all through the dread of night
Show us the way that peace can be
Direct us all in ways of truth’s harmony

Absolutely excellent writing as always. You know this is a keeper don’t you. it’s utterly utterly perfect, and I love it. Your vision will one day come to pass, I know it I. Well, it may be wishful thinking but I hope we will eventually have a time o peace.



Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79

Marsha,
Your delight of write
Has sent my wit
Soaring into the night.
And now on a star I sit
Blinded by the light.
You have knit a web
So charming dear
I feel a neb in ebb
At least it so appears.

I agree
whole heartedly
too late will it be
when all shall see?

Loved this!

I say we open the biggest T-shirt factory and get the governments to foot the bill, and make sure every living soul gets a T-shirt with these wonderful lines of peace...oh I wish Sy, I wish!  Nicely done.

Simple enough that we would do
but individuality is the clue
for each man who speak of his own thought
for by God, 'tis all he's got

Excellent write, Sy, thank you for leaving some inspire in the morning...

WISE words....much truth....


Lauren~

I would rather have one breath of his hair,
one kiss of his mouth,
one touch of his hand
than an eternity without it.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Seymour, I believe deep down we all are the same, only our dreams are unique and that is what makes each of us original, though we all have a heart and we all have our reasons! (smiles) Such wisdom packs your words, sweet friend, I love it, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton
