Repost: The Test A baptismal of fault Bringing psychic cries of wail Rubs the wound with caustic salt Sailing o’er the chaos sail The sky is blue the sun shines through Yet peace eludes the look of day For dark clouds in the distance brew With strikes of lightening on the way I cannot turn the coming gale The sea will lunge the ship will plunge And I will feel the sting of hail Welts my skin cannot expunge Each ship of sail that rides the sea Must pass through the raging tides We must withstand this cap-a-pie To fix our place and still abide It is a test to stay alive It is a test to just survive |

Seymour, My apologies before I begin, but I love you verse but probably for the wrong(?) reasons: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ To love the baptismal of fault the music of the cries of wails the sting of wound with caustic salt Sailing o’er the chaos sail When sky is blue and sun shines through and peace threatens the look of day as dark clouds in the distance brew for strikes of lightning I then pray I welcome in the coming gale where sea will lunge my ship to plunge I long to feel the sting of hail leave welts my skin cannot expunge In ship of sail that rides the sea I revel in the raging tides absorbing all this cap-a pie to live the chaos of the ride It is a test to stay alive you may as well enjoy the ride! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ You are an inspiration to me!!!!!! (hope we are still friends LOL) Ivor |

The sky is blue the sun shines through Yet peace eludes the look of day For dark clouds in the distance brew With strikes of lightening on the way love this Sy...and as always your rhyme and meter are perfect for reading aloud! M |
