Of verse and time The favor given this Lockenvar, For quest he knows forever far. The spirits willing, the flesh be not. The spirit will ride, the flesh will rot. He seeks the lair, old dragon time, With magic dare of verse and rhyme. He will not falter till deem be won. Nor will he alter till deed be done. The dragon lives, mirrors shadow Where he feeds upon our marrow. So subtle is the time exchange, You hardly feel the slightest change. He will sing in rhyme to lure out time, Assuage this dragon with soft enzyme. Dazzle him on the chasm thin And there dispose and cast him in. But if by chance the years do pass And he over stay the hourglass. Know he ever stays the quest Only forever meats the test. So when you hear some verse and rhyme You know this knight's enticing time. |

Couldn't agree more, Sy. As time passes, we start draggin'! "The spirit's willing, the flesh be not"...I resemble that remark! Good writing, Sy. |

He speaks in verse of dragons Of flesh and lure and rhyme His words convey his passions As he speaks of shadow and time Little does the poet know He bares not the curse alone Master Seymore can't you see We've all dragons of our own Some we lock up deep inside Some we battle out in rhyme Display our words in poetry That stands the test of time No matter what our dragons This much I know is true 'Tis far easier to fight them When friends they fight with you Another nice one Seymore ------------------ "When you come to the edge of the light which is all you know. And are about to step off into the darkness that is unknown...Faith is knowing one of two things will happen...there will be something to stand on...or you will learn how to fly." -Unknown |

Ruth, Loved your reply. And something strange I've also noticed, sometimes your own verse will reflect inner thoughts that you weren't even aware of, until someone else pointed them out. Then when you go back and read your poetry,you think - Did I write that? Very strange Ruth, have so enjoyed all of your latest poetry. It's wonderful. And Sy, I have no words Elizabeth |

So subtle is the time exchange, You hardly feel the slightest change. Good line, Sy - Of course so are all the rest... |
