From Ice to Water I’ve melted Ice to water And the water into mist And the mist has turned to clear And has chained a dogma’s fear. A saga of rims and purge That sailed me through a sea of dirge And though I calked the boat with rhyme I could not seal the leak of time. It wore me down to skin and bone The passage, of I alone A trip upon a sphere of coal Burning for an endless goal We seek the core of what we are A firefly or shining star Upon a sea’s eternity In hopes to find tranquility And what I see is nothingness A blessing I would say, no less. |

Good one Sy...reminded me of how if we didn't have those never ending goals...my goodness, where would we be and what a boaring life, not? This was an awesome poem this morning...thank you for writing and sharing. And as for your comment to one of my poems yesterday, I'm still climbing to...seems like something always pokes and prods you back down again...just to keep my attention focused, to let me know..."hey, kid, you've still got much learnin to do"...and you ain't seen nothin yet...that annoying little voice, hehehehhehe and here I thought I knew all there was to know....hehehhehhee |

It wore me down to skin and bone The passage, of I alone A trip upon a sphere of coal Burning for an endless goal ======================= COULD those verses be any cooler!!!!! I'm loving the word play and vebiage of this one Sy-babes. And though I calked the boat with rhyme I would read your rhymes in a boat ... read your way cool words with out a coat. I would read you in the mirrored mist your rhymes are at the top of my list. Walk thru fire ... slip side on ice ... I'll read you once ... I'll read you twice. (my apologies to Dr. Seuss) LOL tis too early for green eggs and ham and my poetic spam LOL never too early for winkies tho  *ww:    |

Buenos Dias, Senor Sonneterro! "I’ve melted Ice to water And the water into mist" ~ And turned lead into gold, my dear alchemist! "We seek the core of what we are A firefly or shining star" ~ Can you guess which core I think you have? "Upon a sea’s eternity In hopes to find tranquility" ~ And may a sense of tranquility be with you always! Wonderful poem! ~ Wonderful you!  EA |

Wonderful poem Seymour. I must say I love the opening line. Makes me start thinking and that always ends up causing me to write. I really like this a lot...gonna have to come back later and read it again. Remember, if you're not part of the future, you're history! |

(smiles) As long as you feel something out of the nothing, nothing is always a blessing! (big hugggsssss) If we can be taught of how to appreciate every subtle moment on the voyage with unconditionality, I'd say harmony will find a way, God Bless You, 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 |

Seymour, this piece is simply wondeful. It flows like a woodland brook. Tis mid-afternoon and time for tea and tarts. Join me? Hugs, Chris Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf. -Tagore |
