He Waits I stand and wait and vegetate Within my hour of relate. Weighted with my medals fair Cheeks of wrinkle bald of hair. Salute the king of chaos grime Hail him in my speck of time Spew the flowers of my day Smile at him and add my clay. I thank him for the match of light If not for that t’would be all night And though I write no sage this page I bow to him in full of age. There is no good or ill to ream I be a stitch upon a seam The blanket covers eon’s roam And all of time a simple poem So write me down for one dear sir Before you change me into were. |

Mr. T., you hang onto that balding, wrinkled clay for many years to come!!! The Man Upstairs will wait because he knows we all love and need you Downstairs! lol  This truly is a remarkable poem! ~ and from a remarkable hunka hunka burnin' poet man! If more stitches in the blanket were like you, God would indeed, be very pleased with Earth's mankind mantle! Evenin' huggums, EA |

Sy, I can never read your's just once! The first time the words sing themselves because they lend themselves so to music. (I don't think a thing during the first reading--the sound brings me in... All I do is hear.) The second time, I go for the meaning. Your writes overwhelm me in their excellence. They truly capture the senses and the heart.
