A Moments Flutter I push my stay to the edge of gray To see the way of forever’s day I would for all strike up the band but Alas I am but a grain of sand. I knock and rock with eternity’s clock Along I’m afraid with the rest of the flock. And though I believe what I believe The truth is cloth of a porous sleeve. I believe we’re the beginning and the end And beyond that I’m afraid would offend For maturity is an endless rhyme As endless as the river of time I believe in the purpose of no purpose I believe in the action of reaction And that change is the staple of arrange And to my thinking that is not strange. I do not believe in sin or win Only the soup I find myself in. |

I knock and rock with eternity's clock Along I'm afraid with the rest of the flock. And though I believe what I believe The truth is cloth of a porous sleeve. I believe we're the beginning and the end And beyond that I'm afraid would offend For maturity is an endless rhyme As endless as the river of time I believe in the purpose of no purpose I believe in the action of reaction And that change is the staple of arrange And to my thinking that is not strange. =========================================== Well those will be the coolest rhymes I will read all day. Stinkylove there are so many witty and wisdom filled lines in this...each one a lesson in humanity and humilty...each one a morale of life's lessons learned and passed on. The truth is cloth of a porous sleeve that line is cooooooler than I have words for. I for one, love the "maturity of your endless rhyme"...and will read them till the end of eternitys time  very cool write Sy-babers. *ww*    |

(sigh) This is excellent, sweet friend, good morning to you, I love it, 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..." |

Good morning Mr. T.! "I push my stay to the dge of gray" ---and far beyond, I hope! "Alas I am but a grain of sand" ---and a mighty fine one at that! "I knock and rock with eternity's clock" ---good one! "I believe we're the beginning and the end." ---absolutely! Life's a circle. If it's the soup you've been in that has made you the person and poet that you are, then I want some of what you're having! ~ May your soup be warm, delicious and nutritious! ~ EA |

How humble. You may think you are one among many, but I'd like to strike up the band 'for you'. When I re-read this poem I continue to find more and deeper meanings. It reads so smoothly; it settles me. Maturity now seems more like sanity at its finest. What's more, I now realize, removing sin and win from our predicaments leaves pure freedom of unique creativity, changing us from those grains of sand to grains of gold. This poem really inspires me. I have to shut up, for I could go on and on with how good it is. Thank you so much for sparking my mind and my soul. Yes, it settles me, yet lets me fly free. Interestly, it has changed from you, -to me-. Isn't that what poetry is supposed to do? It's AWESOME without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |

For maturity is an endless rhyme As endless as the river of time I really like the internal rhyming but especially the truth of the above lines... very nice, Sy ~smiling~ M |

And though I believe what I believe The truth is cloth of a porous sleeve. A good reminder about change being the mainstay of life, Sey. A lot of change in my own life that I'm resisting, I should in stead follow your lead! Cor |
