To Find I’ve ground the stone to gravel Peeled the stark by unravel Sifted winds for songs of the birds Yet I still cannot find the words. I have roared and I have grumble Walked the path of the humble Whispered to the stars on high Yet to myself I cannot lie. I cannot say I’ve found the way Nor an oasis to stay Nor can I lift the mist of dawn Without the help of light of morn Torment whips my knightly horse Yet still I cannot find a course And though I charge the nightly foe I cannot see a light or glow. Dup a light, a candle please And cup it against the breeze. |

Well, I have to say my friend that you sure are good at using words to describe how you can't find the words I like how you've left this one open to the reader's perception to form his/her own images. Excellent write my dear friend! Eric |

Torment whips my knightly horse Yet still I cannot find a course And though I charge the nightly foe I cannot see a light or glow. Tame that strong and mighty steed For I'll be by your side indeed To serve you with peach jam and toast Relax and enjoy, my morning host! love this one Seymour, hugs, Chris  |

If candlelight should yield to breeze You would still find your way with ease For Sy, dear friend, where e're you go You cast a most ethereal glow The wisdom deep inside you hath The light you need upon your path So never worry 'bout a breeze Your bright light needs no batteries! |
