On Wings Of Ponder |

Silence of day bring ponder on silver wings, wings that touch the heaven's winds as a mind stirs relentlessly the broth of life. A sip telling of what is needed, for sugar brings happiness and salt spreads bitterness...Such bittersweet taste when the air simply breathes without sound. Each mile oft forgotten as casks filled with past thought shake and slosh....spilling mere droplets of what was upon the worn shoes of a traveler. Let the path wander briefly that one might learn, let the shoes wear that one might humbly walk on the tenderness of soles naked to truth, thirsting of what lies spilled before him. Give to me this wandering soul, that I might smile into the lifeless eyes of yesterday. That I might again rekindle the fire of dreams and smoulder into the night skies....as tendrils of what might be flow before me... Let me taste the vintage of trangressions wine. Let the swill of a droplet coat the silent tongue and bring forth the spring of knowledge, of hope and future dreams...that I might live. |

Magnus~ Such a beauty of thought~ 'Give to me this wandering soul, that I might smile into the lifeless eyes of yesterday. That I might again rekindle the fire of dreams and smoulder into the night skies....as tendrils of what might be flow before me...' Ahhhhhhh, this sates my Sunday morning poetic thirst~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*When the heart grieves over what it has lost, |

And yet.... salt brings out the flavor of what is there, unless there's an excess of it... and sugar may only cover the taste with its own. A "thinker" you've written here... glad I stopped in! ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Magnus, this write just made me want to give you a great big hug and say, everythings going to be fine... What a heartfelt lovely write....you are a very sensitive man....and I like that. I wish more men saw and felt what you do, and perhaps they do, but are afraid to show it. I think women are basically looking for their best friend and it would be nice to listen to a man who can express himself..share his goals, failures...successes, fears... Awesome write Mr.! |

Let me taste the vintage of trangressions wine. Let the swill of a droplet coat the silent tongue and bring forth the spring of knowledge, of hope and future dreams...that I might live. Your poem is stirring and beautifully put into words. Nice work Barry~ |
