The Stew

My stew is brewing in a pot
It’s full of seasoning allot
Pepper salt and even thyme
And most of all it’s full of time.

A constant simmer at the edge
Imprudence that each day I pledge
All cook within an atmosphere
Of pleasure, sorrow and of fear

I eat a bit of it each day
It feeds me on my journeys way
It fills my mind with shadows call
In winter summer and in fall

And visitors that dine with me
Are voyagers I pass at sea?
We pass across horizons news
Some sing joy and some sing blues

And though we cross in different wend
Each sets their course a different end

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

and best of all its seasoned with wisdom's rhyme!!
You cook and I'll do the dishes...Randy can sweep up...then we'll have tea by the sea.

*ww*

when you walked into the room it felt like time was standing still.
and I felt fascination...then my heart gave me away.

The homemade recipes are always the best and I would bet your cook book is written in golden ink.  Always enjoy your insight sir.

Sir Sy, I missed tea and crumpets this morning, but thankfully I decided to check in before lunch and I'm so glad I did. You mix up a wonderfully delightful 'Stew.' I'm honored to be one to dine with you.

hugs, Marti

Me thinks this line
"And most of all it’s full of time:
Really should be:
"And most of all it’s full of rhyme"

You sure serve a mean rhyme stew,
Yes, you do Sy, yes you do.    
I sit dipping a piece of bread,
In your words until its read.

Beautiful verse Sy~

and this,

And though we cross in different wend
Each sets their course a different end

Yea, that!

Love the slow simmerin', Sir~
