Will Ever the Twain Meet |

Will ever the Twain Meet I stand the shoulders of my dreams. In search the secret of its reams The epitome of shadows roam The empty space beyond the dome They are two worlds that live inside. And only one can I abide They pass each other in the night And paradox within the light One throws shadows on the other One that gives and one that smothers One that beams in ecstasy And one that seems but prudery. Which is the true, which is the rue. How can I make a one of two? Where is the scale that weighs the source? How sets the sail to sail the course? There is one problem with the rhyme Do I really have the time? |

(smiles) Yes, you truly captivate the spirits of the great writers, and because they went between worlds is what made them valid and credible! (big hugggssssss) This is remarkable, sweet friend, I love this, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Make the time! *S* So many things clamor for our attention... but we need to live, not merely exist. *S* And rhyme... especially yours... nourishes. *S* |
