Brighter Blue and Green

The grass seems greener on my rise
It always strikes me with surprise
It is not greener this I know
It’s only mind that makes it so

The sky seems bluer each days rise
It always strikes me with surprise
It is not bluer this I know
It’s only mind that makes it so

All things to me seem more intense
Each day to me tweaks more suspense
It seems to me a sweeter smell
The bells ring out a sweeter knell

And tasting odors wash my mind
A youth of waste, a youth so blind
That let myself so far adrift
Beyond the near of daily gift

No solace that I’m not alone
It seems a state we all bemoan.

Good morning, Sir T.!

With the passing of the years I have come to realize the truth of the notion that youth, indeed, is wasted on the young!

~ and yes, my friend, the mind can conjure up many a splendid thing! But, alas, the converse holds true as well!

Keep thinking the good thoughts and your greens will be ever so green, and your blues be those of heaven!

~ Have a day full of wondrous things!

Loves & hugs,
EA

Always, Alyssa

My goodness! I just noticed that this was your 24,000th post! You, my dear sonneteer, have touched all of our lives with your daily sonnets. You truly amaze me in your ability to maintain such a high calibre of writing. I have learned so much from you and you have opened my eyes to many truths as seen through those of yours!

Thank you, for your brilliant omnipresence on these seas of blue! You make a difference in all of the lives of we who are priviledged to start our days with your sage and wondrous mots!

Powerfully written!

maybe just maybe Sy, that was the intent
it was not of waste nor blindness, but perhaps your significant and most necessary path, so now you equally understand more so then others, your now further along, not to mention, all the more sensitive to the powers that be?  Yes?

Love ya kiddo, say hi to Randy

can I come over and admire your greener grass? Mine died because I measured the weed-killer wrong.

sy,

beautiful my friend, as always
you captivate and put into words
what few others can...amazing that
the way things are seen depends on
the spin we put on them.
take care.

This touches me deeply, my friend... and for a very personal reason... you've described the awakening after a round with depression to a "T"! *S* But even reading it objectively, it goes straight back into my heart. *S* It's excellent! *S*

Congratulations on your milestone! *S* These pages are certainly a brighter blue because of you... SMOOCH! *S*
