I Am

I write because I do not paint.
The effort seems to make me faint.
It is a fear that haunts my soul.
The thought I’ll never reach my goal.

And even in my poetry.
It haunts me in its symmetry.
A strange and useless time alarm
The changes of the changing qualm

I am not sure what I expect.
I am not sure of the effect.
I am not sure the message true
I am not sure an others view.

I stumble in the time of day.
I vacillate in every way.
I look upon the stars in space.
And think how minuscule our race.

I cannot place proportions thrust
Before I turn back into dust.

This read kinda tongue in cheek to me. Serious and yet imbued with a certain humour. Thanks.

I don't have a plan either!

(sigh) Ah, but when we write we do paint indeed and we are every hue, every shade, every texture which we create, making up a collage of our very existance! (big hugggsssssss) This is excellent, sweet friend, you are what you are but can create well beyond that, 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

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

Not dust....GOLD sparks...Sequined Stars...
Silver beams ... Pearls ... Diamonds ... Emeralds ... NOT EVER DUST...
unless of course its fairy dust  




It's over long before her fall from grace, she's never been this far from safe.
Trying to see where it all began, she'll never be the same again.

wonderful read my friend, cuased me to sit back and think....you should try painting, it's wonderful, and i'll tell ya a little secret: i've been in that space some people speak of, sometimes a tunnel, sometimes not, but I know without a doubt now that we are not small, not really, we are just a piece, of something much larger than most people can ever imagine, you've inspired me, I believe i may try to place pen to paper and try to share it with you all, again fabulous read, Vamp

I wish I had some words for you,
or better yet, a hearty stew
that would begin a grand alarm
that you might know your wayward charms...

and might I call it "Randy's Stew"
that you could sup with a tall brew...

Sy,
You write so beautifully the questions of life. The last two lines are priceless.
AS for proportions, you will never see them in the same measure as others do.
LOve 'n hugs
