Made it to survive She knelt besides the waters edge Looking deep inside. Watching coral gardens grow and Swimming butterflies. Sketched her with my fountain pen so Quiet her abide. Set it down in black and white and Made it to survive. Stole it from the God of time for Future idolize. Something more then whimsy dream to Stay before my eyes. Now I hold the black and white with Tears that never dry. Alone by the waters edge of Swimming butterflies. |

Oh, my, Seymour, now you've gone and done it! My eyes can't see the screen for all my tears! This is absolutely beautiful! *snif* *wipe* This is one of them 'keepers' for the heart! ------------------ Denise |

Simply delightful. Thank you for this gift. Nocht ------------------ "Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morierus" (Now as I hear this bell tolling softly for another, it says to me, "Thou must die.") |

May I offer my humble opinion that this is the best of your great works that I have read? It is classical in its beauty, Seymour...one of those truly timeless poems that will live forever. ------------------ "Tread softly, for I have spread my dreams under your feet"~~William Butler Yeats |

Seymore, all your works are great, but of them I think this is probably the best...no, I know it is the best. You have created a fine work of art with your words here. Beautiful, there are no other words for it |

Have a great trip, Seymour! Again, excellent poem! Don't worry about the mascara. Having a poem evoke such emotion is worth the streaks! ------------------ Denise |
