I am not what you may think
the jester and the poet
could be that I'm a missing link
without the means to know it.

I am not what I believe
at least not in one sense
as mysteries the mind concieves
I labor to condense

I am student here to strive
to learn from this my call
I seek the wisdom found in words
that flow to me from all

I thank you each for sharing this
without which life would pale
I am in-debted , thanks so much
as I pursue my grail

Doc--

to learn from this my call
I seek the wisdom found in words
that flow to me from all

We are all students...I know I am and hope always will be...I learn from writing, and I learn from poets like you.

Doc, you have wisely and succinctly put before all...

quote:

I thank you each for sharing this
               without which life would pale
               I am in-debted , thanks so much
               as I pursue my grail


and something that I believe most of us think, but have never put to word as well as you...

thank you for sharing...

Hey Doc! Sorry I haven't been around, but this rooster thing has been a tuffy to work around.  I did find a gig as an extra in the movie Chicken Run, but shy of that I've been pretty much on the lamb.  Speaking of such... if its a grail you're after I've got two slightly use seat covers you can have.  Anything for a pal.  By the way... nice work here.  I'll be in clutch... ahhh... I mean touch.  Peace!
