Weekends away from ethereal tasks at hand into guarded chambers where cups all stand light glints from a polished surface would theft of one be my purpose? how foolish to think one would be so easily within my reach yet as the eye blinks what an ordinary chalice would then teach. will it be a grail studded with precious jewels that I may drink of it eternal liquor and find eternal salvation or will I be a king's court fool that I may fill its guilded hollow and damnation will quickly follow? When will the journey end upon grasp's reach with energy spent? Days pour into weeks yet the pleasure of the chase has not yet been hunted I am awkward with my weapons still a chalice from on high waits to be filled. For the weekend and week are one indeed do not grasp for the chalice in fits of greed to go through the seal of protective glances and certian demise to affect your chances It is the ordinary cup, simple in its basic shape drink it as you sup, hair will rise from your nape and eternal life you will then be given rather than by greed should you be driven... And promises for man's salvation lies not in golden charms the accumulation of worldly trifles does worse than harm. drink from the ordinary cup is what to choose and grasps of the golden one will have you lose.

Wise words! Well written! The ordinary cup holds life as it is, some sweetness and some bitterness, all authentic ... Love, Margherita  |

It's a continual mystery to me, that some of the very best poetry which is posted to these forums falls through them like gold through water. I'm panning today, and glad of it! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Ecrivan, excellent writing as always. I really enjoy your poetry. By the way, I do read your poetry sometimes when I don't leave a reply. The reason being that I just don't know what to say. Do know that I read, though.  Hugs to you, Martin  Ethel |

Ecrivan, this is a most stunning write. I have read it over and over and keep seeing more. Don't know how I missed it last month. It's going into my library, for certain. ~K~ |
