To Catch the Wind To catch the wind you need a bail To feed the sail to catch a whale A symbol dark beneath the blue Could be the essence of a clue. It takes a seasoned eye to see What lies beneath the gray of be The undertone of flesh and bone What could have been and turned to stone. It is a voyage made by all When the season and the call And I am still in hunt the whale Although my sail is aged and frail Still I hear the sirens sing I hear the toll of bells that ring And though the brine makes tough my hide It’s in the hunt I still abide Someday I’ll toss the harpoon true And it will pierce the heart in coup. |

I love your meta4 on life here.... I know that you're not really hunting whale.... and catching the wind..... We're all still chasing it in vain, I'm afraid. Well written and enjoyed. Sherry

Bravo Seymour. Very well done. I wasn't actually planning on reading anything other then comments on myv newest piece before I head into work for the night...but when I seen your nick I had to stop and take a peak. Great verse my friend. Loved it! Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

Wonderful! Not at all what I expected, though I didn't know I was expecting anything when I read it. Delightful, and I love the way you're still in the hunt, still after the prey. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
