Inspired by Toerag: The Pill of Why This Randy Dandy went on a fly Eating peyote mescaline pie Never left the ground but thought he did What flew away was only his ID. It flew to the abyss of weird On the tail of a long gray beard Swung through the tree with the greatest of ease Without the aid of a hanging trapeze The weirdest of feeling I must admit Watching these things of my own permit Out side my body watching a fool Thinking this flight the coolest of cool. But the next day the bells did toll Place a lead sinker in my soul Nailed me on the why of a cross Left me in a state of chaos. And now I weary a path into fright With ghosts and goblins that fly in the night. |

But the next day the bells did toll Place a lead sinker in my soul Nailed me on the why of a cross Left me in a state of chaos. ~*~ Therein lies the lesson plain, a somber collect of sad refrain that you lived on to tell the tale keeps us in search of Holy Grail... |

i must agree with the first reply(the picture) LoL. A very cool piece tho, the way i read it i could almost feel the flight in the words of the poem, it had a kind of smooth flow to the whole mood of the poem, i enjoyed reading it. " How can i feel if i can't breathe...?" |

You know mentioning Toe's name gets my undivided attention, right? LOL I like this very much... though I'm not about to confess how much I truly understand. LOL Out side my body watching a fool Thinking this flight the coolest of cool. But the next day the bells did toll Which is probably why we wised up? *G* Only so much clanging a person can bear? LOL Absolutely excellent, Seymour!!! *S* |

Seymour... I sent him the link, so I'm sure he'll read it if he gets a chance... and if he doesn't get that chance soon, I'll print the poem for him and get it to him eventually... I don't want him to miss it. *S* Thank you! *S* |

Seymour darling heart I’m in here so much less these days, but you know that when I do come in I always seek you out and sip the honey that my soul needs to add some sweetness to it. I was growing up through the sixties and by the time I was old enough to really know what they were about they had turned into the seventies, but this reminded me so much of them. You really are a treat to read and this was just the pick up I needed today, it hasn’t been a very good one so far. I wish I could turn back time I’d choose the day and make it mine I’d play the day over again Make it shine and never rain The grass would be forever green And secrets would remain unseen Pain wouldn’t reach for me I would live always happily No tears of sorrow from my eyes There’d be no worries and no sighs I’d live to ring the bells all night The touch of joy the thrill of sight If I could turn back time’s hand I think I’d be one of the happy band Love and warm stuff as always Mushy Breathe through the heat of our desire |
