Dust and Stone She holds me in a web of love Like the sea and the stars above Five tentacles that sway my mind Five senses that limit my blind. I try my best to understand The touch of eternity’s hand Savor of forever’s flavor Understand and never waver. How many life times does it take? To wash upon its shoal and wake To close my eyes in dogmas blind To the tentacles of my mind I stand upon this passing shore And pass into the evermore. To eternities ever change Yet still to me an ever strange. I am alone upon this throne And I will dust upon its stone. |

I am alone upon this throne And I will dust upon its stone. ================================= Sweet Sy-babes...you sit upon wisdoms throne and you my dearest poet of cadence cool and vision beyond... will NEVER be dust ... rainbow confetti perhaps but not dust Your poetry etches you upon the evermore engraves you in time's eternity and paints your portrait upon our hearts and memory. Dont doubt me Stinky (ohhowilovewhenyouwritelikethis) *winkiewinkie* me Feels like Im dancin with truth and wisdom |

How many life times does it take? To wash upon its shoal and wake To close my eyes in dogmas blind To the tentacles of my mind This is incredible and I am completely humbled by your talent. |

She holds me in a web of love Like the sea and the stars above Five tentacles that sway my mind Five senses that limit my blind. Beautiful words of yearning, Seymour. "the blizzard of the world has crossed the threshold and it has overturned |

Sy , Once again gotta agree with all the above , however ( there's always one of them or a " but ", the last line being out of meter tends to throw me , unless that was your intent . Doc |
