Of Boilers

The boilers stoked and full of coal
I’m on my way to find my soul
Most the tempest gone and past
And age has reached calm sea at last.

But what is this, this subtle pain
That tolls my body’s every strain
It dulls my eyes and hearing too
Time has caught me in a coup

It sapped my juice and vital signs
Took the spring from out my spine
Shriveled me to lesser size
Wiser but with lesser guise

I teeter at the slightest breeze
Nor can I steer the ship with ease
I curse the passing of my prime
I curse the change of mortal time

But cursing is a waste of breath
For in the end there’s naught but death.

Listening to every heart

And Death be not the proud black taker
for one who seeks and seizes Maker
When we shall all be in one hand
who once blew breath into all Man

So until that day comes to claim
any of us we know by name
Come and sit here beside me, Sy,
sip some tea and we'll write the sky...

~*~

Those early morning aches
will soon be soothed by some
warm Sun, Sy...now smile, and bid
me a good morning Hi...

Excellent morning write Sy!
Hey! We have two Sy morning posts today!!!  Yippee!
What a wonderful way to start the day.
Now if the sun would come out and it would turn warm....
~Morning hugs & tea, Nancy~

~The breeze that kissed you on the face,
   Has held me in the same embrace ~
