Precipice

I looked upon a precipice
Over looking present bliss
And in the cracks where moss had grown
There emanate a lonely moan

Beginnings of distilling change
Where time begins to rearrange
And could not change the wrong to right
Nor could I stop the moan of fright

It hit me like a giant wave
That tumbled me into a grave
I knew I could not turn the tide
Nor could I turn away and hide

For I am but a tumble weed
Collecting moss and leaving seed
Rolling to tomorrows day
And even there I cannot stay

Someday the tumble of my bliss
Will fall into the precipice

Oh, no! My beloved Sir Tumbleweed ain't gonna fall off a precipice! ~ Not if I can help it! No way!  No how! Magic Wand

Albeit a bit disturbing to someone who cares about you, it was a brilliant and creative piece of writing! You are a bottomless well of poetic treasures!

Love & Eternal Light,

Hiya Sy, good morning...this poem lends an air of understanding to who we are as servents...on a wider scope, you seem to be at peace, knowing this is but a course in life...which doesn't last long, and paints our worlds an even brighter hue, in the long run...it certainly has changed colors and shapes for you, my wise poet friend?

Did I hit the nail on the head?

or did I flatten my finger again....ouch!

Beginnings of distilling change
Where time begins to rearrange
And could not change the wrong to right
Nor could I stop the moan of fright

And so we rearrange our time, and hope it stays on our side.
In the meantime, I'll give it hell trying to right my wrongs.

No only do you write with eloquence, but with a crystal clear mind.

And....you make me sigh, Sy~
Thank you for this, it's really lovely.

Sir Sy,  

A part of you might fall...but a greater part
will remain forever amongst the clouds,
whispering words to us that we might continue
that which you have unselfishly given to
each of us...

your a great person sir
   with a big heart~
      i miss so much when i stay away~
so now i try to catch all i missed~
      especially the smiles~

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
