A Cist I mist the sly of rhyming rhyme To cist the fungi, changing time. And in the spirit of the ghost I raise my glass and give you toast. May each feral have its moment Yet smell the fragrance of a rose And with each sniff, cry lament And feel the thorn to pierce its nose. I cannot change the human clan Nor can I change the span of man It has been tried with stone and bone And both were left in dust and flown I can but say, if asked to say I would that man another way I’ve seen the beauty of the garden And cannot see a worldly pardon I’d give my life if I were able What once was gifted in a stable |

How tender the thoughts, Sy... when we reduce it all to what is most real, and truly all important... we easily become quite humble. Bless you. Good morning... ![]() |
