Chaos Chaos comes with the dawn, Bringing the light of morn. The stars and moon have gone to sleep With my fantasies to keep And I awake new born. Now chaos rules the day And I am torn away To fill the needs of all that live With the real of take and give To store the hay away. It's a tale of repeat And is a lonely street. A one on one, that must be done. This work beneath the sun, This work that gives receipt. But comes the time of rest, I do my very best, To sail the moon and stars again, To pick up dreams, amen And dream myself illusions guest. The night does close the door And chaos does withdraw, I sail upon my phantom ship, To anchor in a slip, Of valleys green and stars galore. |

Great poem Seymour. "To sail the moon and stars again, to pick up dreams, amen and dream myself illusions guest." What a perfect way to describe the escape form the chaos of the day. Well done! |

But comes the time of rest, I do my very best, To sail the moon and stars again, To pick up dreams, amen And dream myself illusions guest. The night does close the door And chaos does withdraw, I sail upon my phantom ship, To anchor in a slip, Of valleys green and stars galore. ------------------ i do so love your rhyme this poem is sublime awesome Sy...awsome later perfect-rhyme-gator jm What the caterpillar calls the end ...

Seymour~ Poetry it is ! 'The night does close the door And chaos does withdraw, I sail upon my phantom ship, To anchor in a slip, Of valleys green and stars galore' Smiling and loving this day spent with such talent. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Fantastic indeed... -------- I sail upon my phantom ship, To anchor in a slip, Of valleys green and stars galore. -------- I have heard somewhere though that "In total chaos lies ultimate perfection", I sometimes wonder if that is true or not. regards, sudhir Death, be not proud, though some have called thee, Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so; - John Donne |
