Blind Leading the Blind Indignity is self-imposed Like a discriminating nose That roams among the flower fields And picks the sweetest of the yields But life is not a flower garden And there is a thing as pardon And magic comes from wishing wells Those have no odors or no smells. But only thoughts of veiled impugn Can walk the path of pure immune. And rainbows only come to bend With out a treasure at the end. So style yourself a dreamers wile And sit a fence of graces guile And do not be the centerfold All stories will themselves unfold. So leave the rind and rest your mind We all in ways are sort of blind. |

At first I thought you'd written a poem about you and I but then I realized it was way too wise for that! I love the humility and modesty within this piece.... a real gem! |

Nice reminder Sy...written ever so gently too. I always did say we are all just fumbling around in the dark, looking for a match. Okay. I admit it..I WASN'T LOOKING FOR A MATCH.  But what I found? Well, it didn't give me much illumination, but it sure kept me warm last night!  G'morning sweetie! |

  (big hugggsssssss) Oh Seymour, yes indeed, we are all born blind and as we grow and learn from wisdom, our eyes slowly begin to be able to see depending on how much we look to Him and if it is not enough, others who are blind will help us among the ways! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much, God Bless You! 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..." |

But if the braille fall underneath by which the blind shall take their leave leave me words to read, still, more, leave the ones wrote by Seymour |

This poem is so full of the wit and wisdom that is you,that is the tradmark of your poetry-- that all I can do is shake my head and smile and YELL YOU ARE SO COOL!! Indignity is self-imposed Like a discriminating nose But life is not a flower garden And there is a thing as pardon But only thoughts of veiled impugn Can walk the path of pure immune. Could those thoughts be any more clever or full of life's truths and wisdom.

I am thinking I should be drinking more raspberry tea, so I am witty like our JM, but the beauty of posting behind her is that I can just say, "whatever she said" and add, that, not only are you cute, but you are smart, no how often does that happen? Tell me? Not often! Loved the Sydom in this one, and it is indeed your trademark that Sydom. ~* Tell someone in your family that you love them today *~ |
