Armor The armor of my skin is thin Though covered with the sage of age Cacti and the prickly sin Have pierced the woven of the cage. I bleed the time of day by day The flakes of skin that fall away And I am dreary of the path And weary of the aftermath Hallelujah plays the air I listen to the bells that ring I hear the sounds of soothe, the prayer And I would join within the sing. But shadows hold my tongue in place I fear I do not have the grace And though I seek the Holy Grail All I’ve seen is empty trail. The omnibus of species goal And fires of the human soul |

sage of age...yes indeedy, quite brilliant not to mention a great flow of fragrant oils and fruit...right from the words of one very wise and gentile who lives with Mary deep inside...and never even noticed....great big smiles and hugs my friend...you own the golden chalice! Happy Friday and top of the morning  |

Perhaps the Holy Grail wears many cloaks - and we just need to recognize when it's right beside us... Lovely words, sweet Sy..  |

Cacti and the prickly sin is just too cool for school  Your rhymes are our morning holy grail   |

Good morning, T-Man! This is your lucky day! You say that your skin is thin, prickly, flaky, and covered with the sage of age... Well I best get busy and make a powerful potion-lotion for your epidermis with my divine essential oils! Not only will you glow with a youthful complexion, you will attain the cannibus, I mean omnibus, for which this species searches! As for the Holy Grail, once the fire in your belly has returned, I shall take you to it. All that I ask for in return, is that you loosen your tongue and sing your soothing, prayerful songs. So, up and at 'em, m'dear! We've got a busy day ahead of us!  EA |

(sigh) Just uncoil your tongue and when the silver can be seen side up, you will be able to identify on and on the Holy Grail's true appearance! (big hugggssssssss) God Bless You, sweet friend, you are a knight who doesn't need armor, 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 I don't need no proof when it comes to God and truth |
