Poetry The tallow of a poet’s piece Off burns a wick of ambergris A prison passing white lights view To bring the bright of colors through Lighting dark of shady hallows Waking minds those prone to wallow Signing chaos to a lease To bring a moment of surcease Spreading seeds for grass to grow Above the seeds a symbols crow Then watering the ground of store To bring about an Eden’s core While dancing to a life of rhyme He builds an alter for this time Offering up his worded rose With all the might at his dispose Hoping you will take his hand And dance with him the fifers’ band |

Sy...dance with you? Of course! But I do have to disagree with one thing here...your poetry will be honored long after you are dead and gone, not just this moment ![]() Ruth I am nothing special...and my name will soon be forgotten,but I've loved another with all my heart and soul,and to me,this has always been enough.~N.S |
