Trim the wick and light the light Mangos & grapes dance delight Clusters of woman, like us grew Traveling their course blatant with truth Search carefully who you are On golden grasses we count the hours From were did we think victory great? We pass our spheres to hero’s fate Upon self-denial, death became, so liberty shall live What men grew from unwitting looks impatient? Do you believe any thing lives upon a moment? Walk abreast with time, space and prudence To affect is all the past and futures be Substances of life becomes our truest offerings Matching every thought or act with correlatives Reaching masses of souls our sight of endless wisdom In voice surpassing all forth which rhyme Following who favors body and souls the same Knows forgiveness in life and loss To penetrate the inner most lore of song Trim the wick and light the light From hence becomes the darkest nights Calling not on past or down-drafted clouds Lessons learned cleave brave our destinations loud We’re free, sailing on a liquid soft Fates trials sure our tests oft How we gaze through windows pulent Swiftly bending round…absorbing life so dearly intimate sooo... Light the Light magnificant... |

Trim the wick and light the light From hence becomes the darkest nights Calling not on past or down-drafted clouds Lessons learned cleave brave our destinations loud We’re free, sailing on a liquid soft Fates trials sure our tests oft How we gaze through windows pulent Swiftly bending round…absorbing life so dearly intimate Loving these verses in particular. Soft and sifting. You always give the reader much to think about Lee. hugs to you.  |

LeeJ To pick a phrase or line would be to hole the dyke. I'd rather the ocean be held back. Enjoyed |

Seymour is probably right, but one particular verse really hit the chord with me: "Trim the wick and light the light From hence becomes the darkest nights Calling not on past or down-drafted clouds Lessons learned cleave brave our destinations loud" so much wisdom and optimism pacied in those lines... Thank you, miscellanea |
