Winnowing I wander by day and dream by night Looking a way to winnow the right To filter the draft and weed out the shaft To stable the raft and silence the daft But breezes will play and some will not stay And the winnow will stop and shaft will not fray This makes you recycle and do it again A process that haunts the minds of most men The seeds will be eaten placed in a cave And some will be even placed in the grave Records are kept by pen in a book And some on stone to last and to look But yet some shaft will stay with the seed That makes for bloat and a little of greed This is the winnow of constant allure That always comes out a little impure But this is the fare that holds up the sky Take it away and we surely will die. |

Each day is a gift - to winnow as we will... Winnow we will...  |

But this is the fare that holds up the sky ======================= and its there that I would write the name of me sweet Sy-guy. a poet on high ... rhymes that make me sigh.    I refuse to accept that mankind is so tragically bound to the starless midnight of racism & war that the daybreak of peace can never be reality.

Winnowing? is that what wee minnows do? or klepto young attractive movie stars on Rodeo Blvd? (or is that Winonaing?) Or when you had to mortgage the farm to buy the Winnebago? I apologize Mr. Tabin, it was a short night. Feel free to winnow the chaff from this reply and keep only the "enjoyed the read." [This message has been edited by Tim (05-19-2003 08:28 AM).] |

(sigh) Hey, we all need to learn to fly, don't we, so let's let the wind carry us off and watch the blessings drop like dandelion seeds and fruit the fields! (big hugggsssssss) Winnow on, winnow off, it's the new technique, 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 |
