Flight of the Mind |

Flight of the Mind Eternity’s a hollow drum. A formula I cannot sum Or add the stitches that I sew On a blanket I cannot know. Each feather adds to my wings Lifts me higher into things Yet still I cannot see what’s there Horizons are forever’s stare. I’ve searched each chanced on wishing well And visited the edge of hell. I’ve sailed the sea in storm and fair And did what many would not dare. I’ve covered most allowed to me And hovered in the doldrums sea I’ve sailed within the void of mind And cast my spirits past its rind. I’d swear forever cannot be. Yet, eternity laughs at me. |

Yet, eternity laughs at me. ================================== Thats because "he's" not read your poetry. He knows not of your couplets engraved on infinity. Your verses of wisdom and your rhymes divine ... will linger beyond the realms of time. Poetically you've written your name 'cross the sky ... and I do so enjoy me cadenced clouds of Sy-guy. *winkiewinkie* |

Better a laugh than a frown?? Enjoyed, as always, your morning words! "And it was at that age...Poetry arrived in search of me...And something started in my soul." |

JM, Am I up late or are you up early? I was out looking for eternity what's your excuse. Randy just went in to put on the double saddle I think he wants to take us somewhere. I could do with a little fantasy. WWRS |

I’ve searched each chanced on wishing well And visited the edge of hell. I’ve sailed the sea in storm and fair And did what many would not dare. Seymour - hmmmm...I've sailed some stormy seas myself a time or two. Thankyou for such wonderful words this snowy(will it ever stop?) morning. Apple turnover? hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

I’ve searched each chanced on wishing well And visited the edge of hell. I’ve sailed the sea in storm and fair And did what many would not dare. And maybe such life experiences are what gifts your pen with such delightful writes and your heart with such wisdom. *S* This is fantastic, Seymour! *S* |
