I Wish I would I could like kings in reign Just wave my wand and grace ordain Touch my friends with velvet glove Fly the dove and gift of love. How often have I silent sat? Listened quiet held my hat Kept my tongue in lazy sleep Left a scene without a peep. My mind was full of rage and kind That smoldered neath a blankets bind And would not throw the cover off Nor dare to even sound a cough. It is not what I wish I could It is no what I should or would But leaves me dry and in a sigh Weather the words are truth or lie I would I could like kings in reign Just wave my wand and grace ordain |

In my humble opinion: Maybe grace would come if you didn't hold your tongue. Let it out so that understanding may prevail in the land of Seymour. Then you can be the king and reign eternally! I love your writing! -Patricia |

Sy, Ah, your poetry, like the wisdom of Solomon.... Often silence does speak louder than words and the essence of you I think will always command a better performance of those who know you or, get to know you through your wonderful poetry....do as I do, just might be the larger lesson...positive living begets positive living??? Anyway, my theme is: Leave! Saves much other negativity which might arise.... Aren't I chatty this morning?.... Enjoyed this poem and sparked my mind. Hugs to you, Happy day ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. |

'How often have I silent sat? Listened quiet held my hat Kept my tongue in lazy sleep Left a scene without a peep.' Somehow, I can't imagine you anything less than eloquent Sy!  |

Seymour...What a graceful way to bring out a truth. I can't think of the times I have held my tongue while my thoughts tumbled over. An amazing poem!!! ***Ivy Rose |

How often have I silent sat? Listened quiet held my hat Kept my tongue in lazy sleep Left a scene without a peep Oh goodness, Seymour.....wouldn't it be so nice if we could do this whenever disturbances come around? It is so hard, sometimes, when you know that you know you're right. It would be such a nicer world though, if everyone would practice silence sometimes, wouldn't it? Thank you again for the lesson in wisdom, friend. . . By the way, I thought for sure that I replied to this earlier this morning. I do remember reading it, though. I must have had to get off the computer right then, for some reason. I try to never miss your poetry.  Hugs, Ethel |

quote: Time for us to speak, methinks... this touched me Sy...more than you may ever know... Never be silent again... at least, allow the ink to flow in our pens...so those who might, will... and those who don't? Won't know what they missed... HUGS! |
