The Second Floor There were times of doldrums silent bore And times that shook me to the core Times that sailed a pleasant sea Times of love those lovers see. Where Eden was a gardens place And Eve a rib I did embrace Where simple was a mantle shawl That covered me in drapes of fall. But change extended me its hand And raised me up upon the land Grew me to a stance of bloom And then to wilt into the gloom And here I stand the edge of this Waiting for the black abyss Questioning the wisdoms core Looking toward the second floor The building feels one story dwell The rest seems but a wishing well.

 (sigh) In times like these, we must expand upon these foundations without selling our souls and invite all the spirits in! (big hugggsssssss) Let He be your doorman, sweet friend, God Bless You, 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 And that's the most wonderful thing about creating. It will always be a mystery. |

Wish well, dear sonneteer,and you shall add more stories to your building. If you can dream it, you can manifest it--in one form or another!--be it reality or fantasy. There was a lot of meat to stew over in this poem but I enjoyed how you sweetened it with potatoes!  Linda [This message has been edited by Earth Angel (04-18-2003 09:24 AM).] |
