Just a word to say my computer was down for three days.

Lost in Time

Of all the things that I have lost
I miss my mind the most
The phantoms and the fantasies
Now dimmed within the host

There was a time I could control
The playing of the fife
The agony and ecstasy
The living of my life

But now I sit a withered chair
Bald for I have lost my hair
Slipping in and out of dreams to
Wake I could not swear

It’s not that I’m in fear the end
For most my friends are gone
I’m more into the after life
Than days that I was born

Forgive this play on bells of chime
It is the rhythm of the time

Hugs, have missed you, and so happy to see you back, in such rare form, you depict this fearful moment which mocks all of us in the forthcoming wheels of the autumn of our lives...well done...and sending along a welcome home, it's good to read you again...Happy Friday dear Sy

Wondered where you were...thought perhaps
another vacation with Lady Isabelle...

Welcome home, Sy...

Happy Friday!

Oh Sy, I was so worried when you weren't here.
We missed you terribly.
But, you're back and with this wonderful write!

  yes!

I sorta think we get several tries to get it right and well...that means I have at least a few left.  

Wonderful Sy!!!

Of all the things that I have lost
I miss my mind the most


I love when you write fiction.

That mind is just FINE...and its wrapped in rhyme.

Tell you what - if you ever lose your mind, I hope I am the one to find it

Have a nice weekend you two.
