Beyond the Wall |

Beyond the Wall I see the past in ghostly sigh It sweeps before my inner eye. It waves to me in phantom play And asks me, would I like to stay? It offers me a grail of think The fluid is a moment’s drink. A fantasy a realm of seem Not quite real yet not quite dream. It plays upon the heart of me And steeps like an exotic tea. Euphoria the nectars taste Since ecstasy was the base. And I float away into the sky To touch upon the things of sigh And happiness brings hidden joy Like a child with new found toy. It is a place within us all. It’s just beyond the doubters wall. |

How like a good memory to be the anesthesia for so much around us that we would wipe out with one thought of something from yesterday that made us smile... and how like you to be my morning sigh.... Thank you |

I especially enjoy this poem. It causes me to grin ear to ear and causes me to reflect. And the line... "The fluid is a moment's drink" is brilliant. Love it! Thanks, Pat ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

Lovely texture to this....it seems it would be quite fitting to use "Sy" in place of "sigh." LOL Enjoyed! Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

"And I float away into the sky To touch upon the things of sigh And happiness brings hidden joy Like a child with new found toy." (smiles) Awwwww, I love the whimsical melody and innocence in this, sweet friend, yes, always sip the euphoria slowly and let it fill your whole soul rather than drinking it all at once! This is touching, 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! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |
