Symbolism I followed a symbol to a bend But not quite to its very end It took me into shadows fall Where devils and angels call A symbol is an obtuse thing That makes the mind and heart to sing But by itself it only stirs The road to thinking to infer It often patterns high and low That makes for seeds for you to grow They are the mist that frames the dew And the radical of the new The symbol is like gravity A common of sagacity It brings the dust of what you sweep Into a pile of thoughts to reap So study symbols that you sew And watch the path on which you go |

Seymour, I loved this. To separate the symbol from what is behind the symbol...some I have know have gotten hung up on this. Wonderful write.  Patricia |

It brings the dust of what you sweep Into a pile of thoughts to reap Very wise words yet again dear Seymour. I will be thinking about symbolism all day, I just know it. But, for this moment, have a slice of warm banana bread with another cup of tea. hugs, Chris "Hope" is the thing with feathers- |

I think I know the symbol you may be referring to Sy, and couldn't gratify them with finding it and putting it on here. Oh well, that is how I took this poem and I am one of millions was glad to see that symbol dissapear from the world's eye, and the sight of it sickins me. See, I probably went too deep BUT it is good sometimes to do that. (I will email the symbol in my mind.) |

The symbol that I see in eye a lazy eight upon it's side something that still lifts me high carrying my thoughts far and wide Eternity, O Wise Eye, I think you know Sy's wisdom shall always flow... |

(sigh) Your sign just has to be the Year of the Dragon sign as far as I'm concerned, and you sure unleash that spirit out with Randy beside you! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, how obtuse it can be indeed, 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 |
