Drifting Echoes hover my lusting time With a cover of dust and grime And dark gray lines the inner clouds Of priceless fray I once was proud. A Fer-de-lance, strikes poison chance I dance the edge in aging stance Leaving me in lenient bleed a Blood letting, ancients curing deed Hopelessness is a tired horse Morose along a musty course Fireflies and tears of passion Dimmed to low and turned to ashen. Vast has cast my rage of fission Into an old and dusty vision The saddle turns my rump to shreds Daffodils turn to lily beds. It seems I missed my valleys green. And seek in tea the elder’s mien. |

Ya know Stinky...if this wasnt such a cool poem... Id have to fuss at you about all the anologies of being old Me thinks its time for a new saddle for Randy and a flight to Shangri-La to chase away these blues ... I hear they are serving raspberry tea on the flight *L* *winkiewinkie* |
