Paradox How can life condone its death The very breathing of its breath Accept it’s time and black of toll Without creation of a soul When given life it has a goal All living life has a role The very thought has made the sage To shrivel up and die of age They say it is a paradox Or some would say Pandora’s box To open up and look inside Will give to you a vixen bride. I have no answer or no pill I only say you must the will To live as all the creatures do And in the end you will renew. Renewing is creating soul And that I think is our goal.

Seymour darling heart you see I’m here early this morning, well it’s morning for you, afternoon to me. And I get to sip the nectar in your garden of wisdom. When I think you have reached the peak of your perfection you then write something that is so deep and yet clear I find myself saying this is incredible. I’m sure there is a well of wisdom in your soul darling boy, and I simply adore drinking from it. Can you feel me slipping into your mind then brushing against the touch of your soul as it walks in the place of knowledge? Such a pleasure it is to take a stroll in the garden of your mind and sipping from the well of wisdom, and I would do so until time stands still and the stars no longer shine. This really is an exquisite piece from you darling heart I love it utterly utterly, thank you for the drops of sweetness you sprinkle in my soul daily. This is so truly you wonderful   Love and warm stuff As always Mushy  Breathe through the heat of our desire |

Now Sy...you made me think of a song by Michael Martin Murphy [ok, so I listen to western music...] "Reincarnation"...and I have a feeling, if you were to listen to it, you would find out why I'm smiling... 'morning, Sy! |

Marsha, Glad you caught it before it disappeared. Most would rather read of love and butterflies. Thank you my dear. |

As I beat on my little drum here, (laughing at Toe), I have to tell you that this stung hard ... The very thought has made the sage To shrivel up and die of age But having never been afraid to live, makes me personally never afraid to die. The mere thought of coming back as someone else actually thrills me  I may even be able to write like you in my next life.  The most valuable thing you own is a smile, wear it, and share it.

How can life Condon its death The very breathing of its breath Accept it's time and black of toll Without creation of a soul When given life it has a goal All living life has a role The very thought has made the sage To shrivel up and die of age They say it is a paradox Or some would say Pandora's box To open up and look inside Will give to you a vixen bride. I have no answer or no pill I only say you must the will ================================== You say that you have no pill for all the world's ill??? Yet you are the doctor but you send no bill!! Your poetry holds the answer ... your verse the cure Your rhymes are the reason ... this prescription is pure. Now I will tell a secret that will knock off your socks Pandora keeps nothing but your poetry in her paradox box *winkiewinkie* you are too cool for school me Stinkylove  In the space between now and then |

Very nice Sy. I don't think this one will be disappearing any time soon. Though love and butterflies are nice, words of wisdom are often hard to come by. Enjoyed the read. |
