Epiphany The bloom of an epiphany Flowered on my vine of scope It came to me in irony A time when I was loosing hope The bud was growing in the shade Underneath a patch of lean But only brown did show in fade And nothing of the lovely green But there it lay in rare expose Beneath my eyes far sighted leer Exposed but inches from my nose Belief so near and yet so clear I reached my hand out to the know And touched a Vail of ecstasy And love spread over me in flow And washed away the agony The golden garden and its yield That I had searched so far a field |

Seymour, I have to put pen to paper (metaphorically!), once again to tell you of my delight when I read your beautiferous words. So much so, that as a 'newbie' to this Forum, and the written poetic word, that I went back and read more of your wonderous lines. Oh that I would be given such a fantasmagoric gift that you have. Kind thoughts, John Grass won't grow under feet that don't move. [This message has been edited by Music Maker (07-14-2002 07:39 AM).] |

The veil was but a fog of dew and yet, I know, that it was you... Ah Sy...you've welcomed my morning very well... |

But there it lay in rare expose Beneath my eyes far sighted leer Exposed but inches from my nose Belief so near and yet so clear I reached my hand out to the know And touched a Vail of ecstasy And love spread over me in flow And washed away the agony The golden garden and its yield That I had searched so far a field ======================================= Dear gifted Poet ... Dear gifted Poet ... oh how your garden grows. With silver bells, gold daffodils ... and your prize rose of suppose. This Eden's gate, this Shangri La, that blooms verdant in your mind. Planted by fate ... seeded with time ... cultivated by rhyme ... tended with kind. In a poet's garden of ecstasy, blooms an eloquent epiphany. A dreamscape where butterflies are free ... where Nature and Mankind live in harmony. Dear gifted Poet ... Dear gifted Poet ... If this garden exists ... only you could grow it. Music Maker is right...your rhymes rock *ww* |

(smiles) Oh Seymour, this is wonderful, sweet friend, I believe time makes many blessings possible and when we are patient and walk on, all a sudden through our despair we find that blessing upon a pedestal and it changes our lives forever and makes us smile! (big hugggsssssss) This is excellent, 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..." |

I reached my hand out to the know And touched a Vail of ecstasy And love spread over me in flow And washed away the agony This has such a lovely feeling to it, Sy... I think that we all have responsibility for our own happiness and that reaching out for it, is the best way of getting it. ~ hugs of happiness Lyra |
