Un-shackled from the world of care I lay the bonds of day's disturbance now to rest I've had enough of torment for one day Morpheus grant surcease at my behest for you will guard me safe 'till morrow's quest shall once again commence abrupt attack fall forward now to sleep do not look back Your shield will keep the dogs of war at bay but nay , for it may even stay their howls I yield to you my friend for this I've prayed to rest and heal on ground they've not yet fouled Take this my spirit forth lest it be cowled to soar but for this time o'er fields of dreams a warrior by day though I may seem This night I'm but a child in your embrace my weapons are but toys with which I'll play tommorrow not quite yet this state of grace enveloping my soul is where I'll stay 'till duty calls again when I'll away to fight for fame and fortune in the world . Stay long , and keep me in your arms enfurled . [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (edited 02-10-2001).] |

This is an interesting piece. It strikes me as a bedtime invocation. Thanks for sharing. AT While it may be true that "No man is an island..." You must admit there are some damn big peninsulas out there. |

ATelemon , Exactly ( an invocation ) .Wasn't too happy with the title , but fairly satisfied with my first attempt at this format ( rhyme royal). Thanks for the input . Welcome to Passions . Doc |

I need a new shield... the nightmares keep slipping in. Maybe Morpheus went to sleep on the job? *G* This is great! |

It is not often, on an ordinary day, that one finds a poem as original and thoughtfully composed as this one of yours. Thank you, Doc. Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Clair , You are much too kind .I'm working on things though , and someday I will write something that will steal the breath away . I honestly believe that it is possible to combine words in such a way that the heart will pause , and the world will cease , just for an instant . This is my grail , and if it is never reached , I will still have my success . Doc |
