Prophecy The hive has overgrown its bounds Six billion buzz in overt sounds. Laced within a lost intent Swallowed by desires vent. Taxed and tarred the gardens flair Much too ignorant to care Wallows in a self-deceit Generations will repeat. How many turns will break the wheel How frivolous the cake of steal How acid is the say goodbye How bitter is the end of lie. Time has set a subtle vend And not so subtle is the end Life will spring and start again But not within the time of men Life persists with change to be And will return from out the sea. |

Hard to pass up a Seymour poem as it is but to pass one up with the title prophecy would be a sin! "Time has set a subtle vend And not so subtle is the end Life will spring and start again But not within the time of men Life persists with change to be And will return from out the sea." There you go with that evolution stuff that you and I argue about......I mean in a good way! Nicely done as usual! |

You serve our lessons up in rhymes divine and sprinkle wisdoms rule to explain all the ways mankinds the fool. How frivolous the cake of steal How acid is the say goodbye How cool is the poets pen that teaches to begin again. WAAAAAY COOL ![]() *winkiewinkie* ![]() ![]() If all the tear drops went to heaven |

JM, Thank you and good morning Tink. Well any morning is a good morning LOL. Shall we have some raspberry tea in our garden of pretend? Or perhaps a walk along the shore. It's been a while since we met and I'm starting to miss you. WWRS ![]() ![]() Sunshine, A promise is a promise. ![]() |

Seymour darling heart OH MY! You have to know this is seriously excellent writing stunningly well written the way it flows from beginning to end in such lyrical beauty. That you write exceedingly well everyone acknowledges, when you write and you incorporate the truth laces through with your perfect Seymour wisdom it is incomparable. You know on such a day as today, when my mind is here and then quickly elsewhere I need the stability and the assurance I get from the pearls of wisdom that you daily scatter for us lesser mortals to gather. When I have gathered enough I shall string them together and make a necklace, which I shall wear to ward me from foolish actions. Do you think your softly gleaming pearls of opalescence will look good against my milk white throat? Mmmmm if nothing else they will remind me to think before I act. You do know I utterly utterly utterly love this it is exquisite. Thank you for you, you are very special ![]() ![]() ![]() Love and warm stuff As always Mushy ![]() ![]() Breathe through the heat of our desire |

![]() BRAVO!!! Oh Seymour, I agree though it saddens me to agree, I believe that this prophesy is so very true but can only be inevitably caused if all of man is resurrected and seek penitence together! (sigh) We are all honeybees that knead honey to the heart of all life and harmony and I pray together we can work for our salvation! This is excellent, sweet friend, I love your morning reads, 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..." |
