The River of Time Poling down the river of time I see the shore the sky is lime Each night an end, each day a start And I the artist of this art. My arms grow weary of the strain And dreary of the daily drain The river turns from slow to speed And I am swamped with daily need When currents run around the bend I watch each movement till the end When rivers run is straight of lease I dream about an inner peace. Today I wile in different lure The breeze has opened up a door My mind and hand have grasped a goal The yearnings of a starving soul The floors a mass of flowers awe And I am poling straight for shore. |

... so I sit and watch the artist paint finding colors leaves me faint for I would have the artist more by words his thoughts to explore but he only smiles then leaves a line in color then, my thoughts entwined... |

When currents run around the bend I watch each movement till the end When rivers run is straight of lease I dream about an inner peace. Today I wile in different lure The breeze has opened up a door My mind and hand have grasped a goal The yearnings of a starving soul The floors a mass of flowers awe And I am poling straight for shore. ============================== It sounds to me ... like we are are sailing towards shores of serenity There we will dock in ports of harmony ... and sip the serene of raspberry tea. It works for me...does it work for thee? Let me know with a wink of the *winkiewinkie* ![]() ![]() ![]() ps: I see the shore the sky is lime The floors a mass of flowers awe those will be the coolest lines I'll read today ![]() |

The river is born in the sky The silent snow is it's seed In the season of the sun It's crystal blood runs Over the sun gathering into itself Godspeed It flows over dams and under bridges We pour honey and oil and sewage Steel and dust and paper into it Spent and sullied Slowly it goes down To be lost in the sea.. A river of time Starts out so fine Ends in pollution Most human of crimes |

Seymour darling heart and bringer of the mornings light Your writing is so moving so beautiful that I’m left awed not knowing what to say. Absolutely excellent writing and you know I love this utterly utterly utterly Your writing is a gift so rare and precious a ray of loves light to shine through when the night seems to stay too long. I definitely needed this caress of my soul. I’m always telling you how special your writing is, on grey and cloudy days you bring a poem of such brilliance I’m overlaid with its reflected sheen. Thank you for the vision and the delight ![]() ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Slushy ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Seymour hi there again your poem has reached inside and enlightened me. On the days when I can’t fit in a visit to mum’s I have her read me your poems and any ones she thinks are especially good. Of course that means I get to hear her favourite poets, but she has so many that I share that I forgive her Your poems are always welcome they life my mood no matter how trying the day has been. You are a very good writer, and I know I say it often but it is perfectly true. This is well written with perfect rhyme and flows as the stream of the river ![]() ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Krissy And while thy willing soul transpiers |

Sometimes all it takes is the right goal... and weariness vanishes as anticipation surges through us. *S* This is beautiful, Seymour... *S* I love Toe's response, too... we should all take better care... lest the shores we finally reach be strewn with reeking garbage. *S* Two excellent poems... a definite treat for this gal. *S* |
