Ebb and Flow Shadows creeping up a wall Reaching up to nighttimes call. Slowly flowing out in ebb Catching phantoms in the web. Causing me to form a muse Lucid with the coming blues Making clouds into a spell Placing me in wonders dwell. And chariots ride the sky With horses and wings that fly And treasure falls from out the blue Upon a field of dreamers view Replacing yellow daffodil Once to me had grow at will Making lilies hide their heads Now has over grown the beds. It is my way to say good-bye Herein the wile of a sigh |

Seymour darling heart this is utterly beautiful stunningly well written, you know for certain that etched into my soul are the words Seymour is king of rhyme divine and it’s true you surely are. No one paints word pictures with your consummate skill, nobody does it like you. I love the way you layer the scene, build it into a masterpiece, truly exquisite darling boy, you really do make my day. You know I’m going to say I love this utterly don’t you? And of course you know I’m smiling brightly with a satisfied Seymour smile Love and warm stuff As always Mushy To give light to them that sit in darkness..... to guide our feet into the way of peace Luke 2:79 |

Sy I like the ebb and flow of your thoughts. It comes so naturally to a mind such as yours No phantoms that I can see Only the beauty of your words Liz |

It is my way to say good-bye Herein the wile of a sigh ============================== Stinkylove..its not a phantom...its Randy trying to sneak out while youre sleeping. Dearest Sy...So many times your tender rhymes that speak of time's immortality and accepting who and where you are in your life's journey touch me..this one is no exception...and those closing couplets make me want to give you a big hug. We've had a late spring here...the daffodils are still blooming in all their glory...so are you. How else can you explain all the butterflies swarming around you? *winkiewinkie* love ya Sy-babers mothyme |

: (sigh) This is soooooo beautiful with a tinge of sadness in it, sweet friend, saying goodbye is indeed a hard thing to do, but can also be so touching and captivating and to let them know at least someone will always be in the garden of your thoughts is the best you could ever hope for! (big hugggssssss) This is fabulous as always, sweet friend, 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 |

Seymour hi there, this is sooooo special, you really are a wonderful writer and this has such a smooth flow and perfect rhyme, you are a divine poet. Excellent writing thank you this is a keeper. You could walk the beach with me Seymour, leave mum building sandcastles, we’ll collect seashells instead. She won’t mind and I’m much more entertaining there mum snaffled from under your nose and done with style, points to me I think Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |
