A child looks up to heaven's blue, ...and sees the rising sun, The old man sees the end of day, ...a life that soon is done. Both espy celestial city, ...within sky's azure face, Sculptured clouds of vapored mist, ...belie eternal grace. Clothed in calm of welkin glory, ...comes forth the new day's dawn, Journeys Helios, o'er earth's landscape, ...spreading warmth upon. Beyond the walls of heaven's gate, ...as light of day is cast, Beyond the realm of world's horizon, ...another life is past. |

Mystical Musing Mike Marvelous myriad muses make Marge muse melodically Must mean Mike makes Marge's midnight musings mostly maddening Might make morning musing ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Mike beautiful poem, refering to Jan's signature "What the caterpillar calls the end ... The world calls a butterfly ~LaoTzeTao~" Beyond the walls of heaven's gate, ...as light of day is cast, Beyond the realm of world's horizon, ...another life is past. wonderful poem/musing. A rock pile ceases to be a rock pile the moment a single man contemplates it, bearing within him the image of a cathedral. Antoine de Saint-Exupéry |

Your poetic perception is always inspiring, Mike. This poem holds true to that impeccable form. You are, my friend, a natural. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

I truly appreciate all the comments. I was reading a book last night, which putting it mildly, was not an exceptionally interesting work of literary genius and my mind started to wander... |
