The Riggings of My Mast The sinews of my riggings past Hold my sails tied down the mast And though I renegade my mind I cannot see beyond its bind I stumble in the heat of bold Stiffen in the freeze of cold Drag my feet forever’s path Baptize in the vacuums bath What error grew the Eden tree? What star will navigate for me? What wind will blow me to my goal? What door will open to my soul? I flounder this abyss of rhyme I founder in the sands of time And cannot through the needles eye It’s closed with tears of human sigh Perhaps this life is not an ark? Who can see beyond the dark? |

What error grew the Eden tree? What star will navigate for me? What wind will blow me to my goal? What door will open to my soul? ~sighing~ at your words that are so appropriate for me today... Thanks, Sy  M |

Sy, sometimes I think all our ships are floating in the dark, but we are guided along in the light from our souls. I much enjoyed this introspective journey...~S~ Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life |
