The Powder I

I powder in the mortar bowl
Dowering the grime of goal
The pestle goes around in rhyme
And bustle’s me in changing time

It is a process of the age
Of timing going stage to stage
A pinch of salt of little spice
But adds a tittle to the rice

The rice is scattered and is fed
Rebirths the form in subtle wed
Makes a field of living gleam
On which I lie and write this theme

It’s little in a changing course
Where all I know subdues to force
But in the rivers turning bend
I would my mark my living end

And so I sail the breeze with thee
I be with you, you be with me.

Is there enough of you
to go around?
Seems to me that sighs
are bound...

Good Sunday Morning, Sy...

Dancing with you in the summer rain~

Hey Seymour,  
I could just see those rhymes going around
in your head as I read this. I hope they
never stop, because I LOVE  reading your rhymes.
Hugs,  
Ethel
