A Sifting |

A Sifting I weary moments sifted through And those of new that brought the coup They disappear into the mist Into the memories file and list Into the well of changing time They drift into a pantomime And there they mortar fantasy Within a waters argosy They’re gone and yet they are not gone Some are sound and some are torn And some are placed so still and deep You cannot trace them when you sleep And there they sanctum in the well The dwell of phantoms and dispel To fill a pasture full of gleams Of knights and queens within our dreams I do not say that all are good Just that they, be understood |

They’re gone and yet they are not gone Some are sound and some are torn And some are placed so still and deep You cannot trace them when you sleep This verse really stands out for me Sey, enjoyed this much. |

Love this Seymour. Great flow to the poem. Love the rhyme scheme too. Wonderful job. Very intriguing write. I wish I had penned it. Oh well I can draw from the idea and find my own muse. Thanks! Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |
