An Ocean of Thoughts An ocean of thoughts laps my shore And saps the sand to evermore. And I am drawn into the sea The dawning of eternity The crest of waves fall figure eight And I am pulled into its fate Tossed and tumbled and turned around Confounded in the fates rebound. I hear the bells of time that toll They vibrate in my very soul And though I drag my anchors weight I know inside there is a date. And so I wait the sickles sweep To grate me into dust of reap And make of me a source to be The essence of Eternals Sea Yet an ocean of thoughts still lap Or are they too, just changed to scrap? |

An ocean of thoughts laps my shore And saps the sand to evermore. And I am drawn into the sea The dawning of eternity The crest of waves fall figure eight And I am pulled into its fate ================================== I understand this now on a deeper level ... and I too feel the pull...I miss the tide more than I have words for. As always walking on your "beaches of understand" takes me to new places of humanity. Love ya Sybabes |

Good Morning, Mr. T.-- Outdid yourself again, I see! I just read RSWells reply. If he doesn't mind, I'd like to say "ditto"! ~ May your grace, dignity, and wisdom sail across this blue sea, for decades to come! ~ EA |

Seymour - haven't we all thought about our "time's up" call? It's out of our hands though. Besides, to-day is sunny and mild here, the leaves are showing off their colours....what a blessing to have even just to-day!! hugs to you, Chris p.s. I did enjoy this write!! Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Sey good morning. I believe you have touched upon something we all have thought at times. Very well done. If I have touched one heart through my words, then I have acheived my dream... |

Sy, You have a great way of looking at things. It's always from a slant that is off-angle from the norm, yet it makes so much sense. |

Thinking Cap. ...so, the essence of all you gave, must be the measurement of if you're saved.... Well, I'd say, you're in like Flynn, kind sir, and we all will fly..... How blessed we are to have you Warmly, Pat without surrender, be on good terms with all persons... |

(sigh) Yes, it is all a matter in embracing each of these layers of thoughts and let them ebb before us and soak up the nutrients that evade the sands and once we find that inner=peace then we can gladly become one with the sea! (big huggssssss) 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!

Ah but I loved this one, and Richard's response to you - now that would be something to see - the two of you playing lines off each other - and you both could do it so well! Oh this was a keeper for my heart. Howdy Neighbour |
