The Wink of a Wink The trip wears the soles of my blues Turns them into dirty brown hues. Worn to a base of callus feet Echoes the echoes of my defeat How long is the way to a goal? Evers horizon of my soul Where is the key to let me in? Does it negate the symbol sin? Omnibus passes me by When flesh goes, does the spirit vie? Are I but host to changing coast? Or be I but a roast to toast? It’s the darkest of drink to think We are gone, the wink of a wink And nothing is left in the spell Except the odor of the smell My dragon blows this insane In truth, am I really this vain? |

yes, what will they say about me when i am gone, did i even matter at all? or do i leave as nothing, going back to nothing, never mattering at all. , all very sobering at times, isn't it? |

"Vain" is not a word that's synonymous with "Seymour" - But good morning poetry is...  |

No, Sy... or are we merely atoms of time, rearranged... and whether the ripples of finger to pond dispersed, or are we merely a voice once again rehearsed... You kicked my muse in her hinnie... she thanks you! |

The trip wears the soles of my blues Turns them into dirty brown hues. Worn to a base of callus feet Echoes the echoes of my defeat ================================ Where is the key to let me in? Does it negate the symbol sin? Omnibus passes me by When flesh goes, does the spirit vie? ======================================= Could those lines be any cooler? Look at all the metaphors, symbolism, and word play. Nothing insane nor vain here. and Sy-babers? ... just remember.... there are Winks, and then there are  *winkies* *ww* |

(smiles) Oh Seymour, this is lovely, sweet friend, the darker the brew the richer the aftertaste can be and the richer the more satisfied and sanctified a day can be approached! (big hugggsssss) This is wonderful, 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..." |

Seymour - I don't believe you are vain, just a man with a very tender heart filled with compassion. Your writings I read, and see this... BC |

I enjoyed this Sy, it does not relate vanity as much as it does get you to think about why we are and where we are going...like Sunshine's reply too  |

Sy, You are likely not going to fry. But you do indeed ask old questions in new ways. Excellent write.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |
