The sound of death a distant hum With shadows breath a constant drum Where dewdrops lose their glorious bright And colors slip back into white And chaos runs the rivers grime O'er a slooth box made of time Filtering a gold of goal To build the essence of a soul I can not pierce the chaos gray Nor can I say this is the way But somewhere in each waterfall I feel there is a distant call The path of life to me is clear With all its pain and all its fear It is the essence of a power As beautiful as a flower So view the Nova of your death A new beginning and new breath |

Seymour~ You breathe poetry ... and I'm so very glad that you do~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Your verses flow like crystal brooks A wisdom never found in books And you, my friend provide the stream that I will travel in my dream Love Liz |

a fine ‘write’! I LOVE: “dewdrops... ‘glorious bright’ (!)” AND: absolutely any kind of “box made of time(!)” as well as: “… somewhere in each waterfall I feel there is a distant call…” and the powerful ending: “ view the Nova of your death… A new beginning and new breath” sustained applause!! |

I can not pierce the chaos gray Nor can I say this is the way But somewhere in each waterfall I feel there is a distant call ~*~ Yes, Sey... Indeed there is a distant call, where waters come now break the wall where pathways hither are once again, and Brigadoon, she welcomes in. ~*~ Smiling at you, always... your Sunshine |

I hope you can see me smiling from here Sy. You know I love to explore these endless questions, and words like this, keep my mind happily pondering. I truly believe the challenge is life itself ... and the reward for all our hard work, comes thereafter. As you so beautifully said: “A new beginning and new breath” I love that …wonderful words to ponder. You’re making me think this morning as I enjoy my cup of tea with you. Best wishes and big hugs, /Kit |

I can not pierce the chaos gray Nor can I say this is the way But somewhere in each waterfall I feel there is a distant call The path of life to me is clear With all its pain and all its fear It is the essence of a power As beautiful as a flower I'm so infactuated by water, the sea, ocean...and it does speak and pull and tug as you explain, but it also sooths us and places great big arms around our souls, protecting us from the rain... hugs for this beauty |

So view the Nova of your death A new beginning and new breath I was sitting here thinking about him and hoping he is in a better place, and space. What an incredibly wise man, and I miss him. |
