Ring of Chance

I grabbed upon a ring of chance
It was a ticket to a dance
The periphery of a core
Of an entrance to a door

I hesitate to press the latch
To make a mark or leave a scratch
And shied away entanglement
The weighty weights envelopment

I am a coward there’s no doubt
I lacked the clothing of devout
I knew the mime and saw the string
And knew the vectors of the thing

It took some boldness for the dwell
To toll the bells and make them swell
For all the weight upon the scale
I knew but little of the whale

Its then I fluttered in the dawn
And muttered weakly it was morn

Sy darling man, this is exquisite writing, you always excel sometimes like now you write pure gold.

The way you combine words into poetry is amazing, I’m always delighted to read you, sometimes I’m left bereft of speech by the wonder that is you. Thank you for this glittering gem

Love and warm stuff
Big hugs
Mushy

Tomorrow is another day I don't know what it holds
but I can face the future with courage brave and bold

(smiles) You are the lord of the ring, and chance is something that is a sine qua non, which helps us to embrace hope and fortune in achieving the blessings wich may seem more extreme! (sigh) The sky is not the limit, God Bless You, 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

Aw...you should see it here, Sy...
weak morn?  You got it...
Dull and gray and bleakly light outside,
with slippery slopes to contend with...

But I still enjoyed the write.  I always do...

it begins my day on a grin, no matter what the climes.
