Naiveté

I’ve wondered through the near and far
Used infra red and some radar.
Searched wondering iconoclast
Dug very deep into the past.

And still I cannot find my soul
And know that time has set a goal.
It haunts me with a phantoms rage
That cannot pass a limits cage.

And never have I puzzled more
To open up this limits door.
And know that there will come a day
When I must leave and cannot stay.

I’ve read of all the sage I know
It is a gentle wind they blow.
They exercise a gentle plan
They say to be a gentle man.

And this I’m getting to believe
The more I learn the more naïve.

Your soul is hiding in the park
Tinkerbell sits with it in dark
waiting for you to come and find
a hide-and-seek there in your mind

she knows, she glows! a secret bright
so tell Randy to take flight
your soul is there, in corner dark
and Tinkerbell's ready with her spark...

WOW!!! Oh Seyour, I know just how you feel, sweet friend, it does seem crazy but I believe this is true, for to hold onto innocence and be gentle in nature is how we grow ever wiser to another sneeds and harmonies and be judgmental! (sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, your views always amaze me, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shie upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

Seymour darling boy moi voici mon cher ami, whoops….. sorry here I am again my dearest friend, and yet again your wisdom sinks into my soul like the cooling balm of after-sun sinks into my skin after sitting in the gazebo enjoying the little bit of sun we do have here.

Your words like jewels illume the mind with flashes of brilliance, which carry the thoughts deep within to mellow my heart. Outstanding writing as always YOU are a fabulous writer and this is utter delight. I’m awed by you time after time, truly exquisite

  
Love and warm stuff
As always
Mushy

Breathe through the heat of our desire
Thy coolness and they balm
Let sense be dumb let flesh retire
Speak through the eathquake wind and fire
Oh

==================================


You need not read the words of now silent sage,
for the soul you seek is found upon this very page.
I have found it here so many times before ...
the truth you've taught, now stored in archived adore.

The soul of Sy shared in raptured rhyme,
wisdom and truth captured in versed sublime.
Poetic promises of bind ... your gift to leave behind,
moments of kind ... ink entwined in rhymed remind.

Fate has a way of making us follow the plan ...
if on the dawn of each new day, we do the best we can.
If we treat the earth and our fellow man with respect ...
then a life of no regret is the reward we can expect.

If we believe that each child has its own value and place
if we conceive that each will leave behind a whispered trace.
The example we set will be the final act upon life's stage ...
all this I have witnessed on your page, dear poetic prophet and soul sage.

No ... we cannot turn back the hands of time ... this is true ...
Promise me you'll find your peace in knowing all we learned from you.

~~
dont you ever doubt the goal of your soul
these pages serve proof.
love you Sy-babes

JM,
You are an angel in disguise at least that's what I surmise. And Randy told me to be good
I'm messing up the neighborhood. So thank you for the sweet bouquet and I'll behave the rest of the day.

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