Desire Desire sweeps across the page To seek another stage Humiliation sheds a tear And bows once more to fear Imaginations audience Frowns, sits an acid fence And tears from out our eyes spill vent Till all our shame is spent. We close the curtain as we can Each stage on which we plan And hid within the shadows there The goblins of despair There is no turnabout this life Storage bins fill with strife. They echo as we move along Eternal is the song. And children’s children light our way To see into forever’s day. |

(smiles) Awwwwww, this is such a gorgeous blessing for the children, sweet friend, may they always carry on close to their dreams and bring great hope to the future ahead and pass on new love to replace the tears! (big hugggssss) This is wonderful, 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 "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

And children's children light our way To see into forever's day. ================================= And tears from out our eyes spill vent Till all our shame is spent. and those will be my cool-pic lines for the day this is a heavy metaphor me Stinkylove.... I would be interested to know where this inspire came from....mind if I pick your poetic mind? If not....we can pick raspberries instead When your own emptiness is all thats getting through |

Seymour darling boy what can I say except this is utterly utterly wonderful. I love that closing couplet, well, of course you know I love it all but that closing couplet is utterly utterly incredible. Like wisdom from the lips of Athena herself this is truly speaking comment. As always to bathe in the wonder as delivered by the pen of the master of morning starts my day. I think that if my soul isn’t ignited by that special Seymour spark then it slumbers through the day, and never really gets going. Wonderful writing 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 |
