Fields of Lilies I’ve spoke of lilies many times In the jesting of my rhymes The ones that fill my fields of late That bloom and taunt me of my Fate. They’ve crowded out my daffodils The glory of my wiles and wills And changed for me a deeper gold The gold of young to gold of old I love the lilies of my field Apart from pain within the yield They offer up the kindest lace That wisdom comes with times embrace. They tender me a soft release Surcease of age an altarpiece Perspective of my fields of goal A place to rest my weary soul They fill my mind with golden sway They offer me another day. |

Seymour darling boy this is absolutely beautiful your writing content and style consistently superb and this is as always absolutely perfect. Am I forgiven for being late again, I have a valid excuse, honestly. I could say I’ll get Keth to write me a note but I know she’d say Mushy has been trying to do too many things at once. Actually it’s not that……… I’ve had a power-cut here since 7am and I’ve only just got it back. The power I mean. Anyway that is all by the by this is utterly utterly beautiful writing, oh how I miss my soul being washed by your wondrous words of beauty. Am I forgiven my tardy appearance today? Mushy blows a kiss and flutters her eyelashes Thank you darling boy    Love and warm stuff As always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |

They’ve crowded out my daffodils No, no, NOOOOOOOO! *G* That's unacceptable, Seymour... for however beautiful lilies are, daffodils are still my favorite flower... help them out and move the bulbs to the front! *G* Seriously... this is beautiful... If we could only accept all inevitable change with such grace and learn to find the loveliness in our new surroundings. *S* I think of change as a dirty word. *G* You've found its charm. |

they leave a scent so lingering, and time it is but fingering the want of me, or shall it wait pray the lilies bloom my gate... |
