Reflections Touch the water of reflection Ripple circles infinity The touch will break connection And drift into eternity. You cannot hold onto a dream It’s made of mist and vapors run And though it is desires gleam It lifts into the morning sun. Take the night for what it’s worth Treasure it a worthy thing. Those fancy phantoms of the earth That pause the rage that life would bring. So cast your net upon the sea And reap the bounty that you get Play the mist that brews the tea Never weigh it as a debt. It is a gift of nights delight Unless you turn it into fright |

Here is the some day I adhere as mist swirls around my ear its whisper sighs me circumspect and I remain with much respect... perhaps you will never know, Sy, how often I seek your words of wisdom and how often, how very often, they tell me true... |

You cannot hold onto a dream It’s made of mist and vapors run And though it is desires gleam It lifts into the morning sun. This is so true, Sy... and so perfectly and poetically said... ~ hugs and dreams Lyra |
