Pith

Let me fill your ear with pith
Be it clear or be it myth
It lets upon the wind in play
I beg you touch it on its way

It wobbles like a butterfly
It bobbles on a floating lie
It does not stay but passes on
Just like a crop that’s grown and gone

Sometimes it’s passed from eye to eye
Sometimes it stays within a sigh
But mostly it is there to use
Like the lighting of a fuse

Pith is butter on your bread
The ecstasy of dreams in bed
The hand that holds the gift of core
A ride into forevermore

So wave the essence of its true
It is a victory, a coup

Seymour~
Golden words in this poetic greet of morn~

'Pith is butter on your bread
The ecstasy of dreams in bed
The hand that holds the gift of core
A ride into forevermore

So wave the essence of its true
It is a victory, a coup'

Sometimes it’s passed from eye to eye
Sometimes it stays within a sigh

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


Pith: the essential part : CORE b : substantial quality (as of meaning)


just like your poetry goes to the heart of the matter.

and makes the moth sigh *winkiewinkie*
