Substance To search the spring of substance soul Infinity must be your goal. To stand before its open door You must endeavor evermore. A moving residence of dwell Where brooks the passions wishing well Occasioned by your fantasy That ships a ship called ecstasy. Passage, the philosophers stone Made of genesis human bone. Hidden within each one of us By dogma of the omnibus. Sacrosanct the phantoms kingdom Zealot of occlusions ransom Minuscule the pinch of bright Bringing light unto the night. No need to say we seek this goal This hidden source within our soul. |

"Occasioned by your fantasy That ships a ship called ecstasy." so when do we set sail *winkiewinkie* later-dont doubt your wise-gator Philosophers Stone Van Morrison Out on the highways and the by-ways all alone I'm still searching for, searching for my home Up in the morning, up in the morning out on the road And my head is aching and my hands are cold And I'm looking for the silver lining, silver lining in the clouds And I'm searching for and I'm searching for the philosophers stone And it's a hard road, Its a hard road daddy-o When my job is turning lead into gold He was born in the back street, born in the back street Jelly Roll I'm on the road again and I'm searching for The philosophers stone Can you hear that engine Woe can you hear that engine drone Well I'm on the road again and I'm searching for Searching for the philosophers stone Up in the morning, up in the morning When the streets are white with snow It's a hard road, it's a hard road daddy-o Up in the morning, up in the morning Out on the job Well you've got me searching for Searching for, the philosophers stone Even my best friends, even my best friends they don't know That my job is turning lead into gold When you hear that engine, when you hear that engine drone I'm on the road again and I'm searching for the philosophers stone Some people find subtlety in strangers if you find anything~let me in Your eyes~you see everything my eyes~I see it all together now~and I know |

Karilea, You have let your sunshine on this poem and it has become a star. *L* Startime, Wonderful comment and wonderful home site. Read some of them they are beautiful. Brian, Thank you for the WOW. I appreciate the read and the comment. JM, As I said before you are always a delight to read. Didn't you know when you touch too cool it hurts, not only that but you can get stuck to it and you have to heat the cool to be reaeased. By the way, Vam Morrison was looking in the wrong place for the philosophers stone, It's inside him not outside. And as for setting sail we are already on our way. Winkiewinkie, Stinky |
