Erosion Its rate of speed that strikes your eye Depends upon your mental vie Some see it fast some see it slow But it is there where ere you go It is the changing of the guard The altering of the façade The multi and the maxi play The waning and waxing each day It is the mortar and the power It is the slaughter and the flower It is the bass beat of a song And the place that you belong Within the fertile of the grime We build the castles of our time Each unbounded with a scheme Each unfounded with a dream And each erodes within the bend To link the link from end to end |

Oh, I do understand the erosion of which you speak! That is why my castle in the sky has a deep moat and tall, thick walls around it!    If yours begin to sink due to eroding sands, you will always have a place to stay in my castle! ~ and of course, Isabel is most welcome as well! However, she would have to be reminded that I am the queen of this castle!  Loves 'n hugs, EA |

Ah I enjoyed this very much. Wonderfully worded. As always. It reminded me of Algernon Charles Swinburne's "Hertha" "I the mark that is missed And the arrows that miss, I the mouth that is kissed And the breath in the kiss, The search, and the sought, and the seeker, the soul and the body that is." "I the grain and the furrow, The plough-cloven clod And the ploughshare drawn thorough The germ and the sod, The deed and the doer, the seed and the sower, the dust which is God." Delightful as always ! ::bows:: |

"And each erodes within the bend To link the link from end to end" Such are the ways of life.....and life.  Enjoyed this, Sy.  ...jo |

For some reason, I got a picture of Athens ruins in my mind, perhaps because the mystic gods wave such fickle powers and human emotions-- the way all great civilizations seem to go. As always, beautifully penned and thought provoking. ~ Karen  |
