Chaos Topping There’s chaos topping on my head A mound of pathways I have wed Each path a ghost of candlesticks The tallow gone and so the wicks They are the ash of former ways The charging into windmill days Searching for the will-o’-the wisp A journey once was primal crisp And now it’s filled with fragile moss And just a pinch of sorrows loss The look has turned a babbles wake My lance into a humble rake Nothing tastes the same or chaste All has lost its spice of taste My youth and roar that once was prime Has now grown weak with age and time No longer do I search the coup But taste each morning’s early dew |

And now it’s filled with fragile moss And just a pinch of sorrows loss The look has turned a babbles wake My lance into a humble rake ~*~ Ever be that was ever lost is nothing but the film of dross Look within before you wake for every moment is yours to take!  |

The rake fits your hand so much better than the lance. I'm glad you are "keeping the garden" :: bows :: |

Hello Seymour. wow-I've been playing with the concept of age, change, and memory. 'How to' reconcile what I've had, and what I'll probably never have again, and feel at peace, instead of feeling like I'm missing out. Your poem's sparking me to get my brain in gear. There's a quote "The older we get, the harder it gets, to keep these minds and souls in check" By Roots Manuva. What you've said...to paraphrase, "nohing tastes...like the first time"? I've been feeling that, looking around for a fresh new high, yet there's a niggle that I should concentrate on building up the highs I've already collected in my memory, to make them stronger, and longer lasting. A very thoughtful piece, and it's reinforcing the positive feelings I'm beginning to have about growing older...although the idea of saying goodbye to my sparkly lancing suit fills me with a dried-up woe! |

My youth and roar that once was prime Has now grown weak with age and time Your talent certainly hasn't... it's as mighty as ever! *S* Excellent!! |
