Strange Strange has held my hand since youth The truth and nothing but the truth Cutting the umbilical chord Has given me little reward. Where once I lived a world of safe I now but live a world of waif Carried by a genesis tide Into a world I can’t abide. It offers me a one-way path Without oasis or a bath And symbols that I’ve learned to read Are twisted in a world of greed. And though I reach for butterflies Warming tides and golden skies I walk upon a naked beach Watching waves that drain and leach. And though they wash my stand in rhyme They undercut the sand in time. |

"And though I reach for butterflies Warming tides and golden skies I walk upon a naked beach Watching waves that drain and leach. And though they wash my stand in rhyme They undercut the sand in time." Wonderful rhyme here Sy! I know it's early in the morning and I haven't had my tea as yet...hoping you will join me.. But, at first my eyes saw..'I walk naked upon the beach'!  Better you come sit and have tea with me while I get my bearings. ~Morning hugs, Nancy~  ~Somewhere in my heart I'm always |

Cutting the umbilical chord Has given me little reward. ---- Carried by a genesis tide Into a world I can’t abide. ---- And though I reach for butterflies Warming tides and golden skies I walk upon a naked beach Watching waves that drain and leach. And though they wash my stand in rhyme They undercut the sand in time. =============================== Well, strange must be another word for brilliant & way cool cuz this poem sure is... all I can do is shake me mothy head and smile when reading lines like above. Not even the ocean can wash away your rhymes divine Sy-babers...they are written gold and stand the test of time.  Now tell Randy to be careful that he dont get sunburned or sand in places he dont want it when naked on the beach    |

(smiles) You'd be suprised at how once you get to know the strange, suddenly what's most real feels far less real! (big hugggsssssss) I think it is a blessing to be accustomed to the strange and get to understand the whole world much better, 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 |

Hi Sy, well, there's a whole lotta naked hugs and kisses going on here, but I'd like to say this had a "sad aching" when I read it, and I LOVE it! I could really FEEL this, and I know where you're coming from. (If you wrote this from your heart, which most of us do.) Anyway, nothing wrong with being naked for sure! This was just completely "sadly beautiful" and it really touched me. GREAT piece sir! |
