Enanmored of full metal night , enveloped in this armored world . With ease , now move these limbs so light , Ride bold , this steed of dreams , unfurled chrome banner 'bove lead weight that binds , the heart and mind alike in chains . Impervious , in sleeps rainment , stripped of all tare , ungrip the reins . Charge Pegasus to cross the void of clock-work jewels which whirl un-cased . With fluid pulse set free am I , to travel at un-measured pace . Bright droplets , scenes , quick-silver flow , through conscious stream , a child at play . Enraptured and enlightened , steeled , once more to face the coming day . Where gravity's harsh test awaits , for now I float , in weightless space . |

I enjoyed this posting. I wonder, is steel an image of old age? I am to the point in my life where I have realized that I am no longer a young man. I now recall more carefree days with a sense of longing. Still, age too has its' rewards. INclan |

Bright droplets , scenes , quick-silver flow , through conscious stream , a child at play . Enraptured and enlightened , steeled , once more to face the coming day . WOW, amazing images. One for the personal library I do believe. "across the unfair divide |

Inclan, Yes , I am definately feeling my age with this one .Thanks for the R&R . Doc angelswing , Thanks ,feeling the pull of gravity , old age , or both . Even " Iron Men " have their weaknesses . Doc brian madden , Glad you enjoyed . Having read some of your postings makes your comments ring more melodious ( do I hear bells ? ) Doc PDV , You are much too kind . Has been too long since I have visited your home site ( a problem I intend to correct shortly ). Many thanks PDV . You are an inspiration . Doc |

Those dreams, I think, are the needed respite to face those ever-present challenges that we must daily face. Great expression, Doc! |

"Bright droplets , scenes , quick-silver flow , through conscious stream , a child at play . Enraptured and enlightened , steeled , once more to face the coming day ." Wonderful phrasing Dr. Moose, and excellent imagery. I really enjoyed this piece, very nicely written!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Denise , Indeed they are , and thank you my friend , may yours bring you all that is needed . Doc Kit , Thank you . I always feel a little uncomfortable when people quote my lines back, but those seemed to be the ones that came most naturally when I was writing this. If only they all came that easy .Thanks again . Doc |
