I Lit a Lamp Lit a lamp of pure illusion And fueled it with desires fuel Held it high to see conclusion The glitter of a self made jewel. A diamond made of ecstasy That glittered like the dew of dawn The setting made of fantasy The beauty of the coming morn I passed the night a flying dove Serenity within a dream And flew the rainbow path of love Into the treasure of the seem It was a wile of simple space A hidden door within a door Full of everlasting grace My happiness of evermore Created here a mental tea A world within a world to me |

Sy, You do have a gentle touch. And that is the first cup of tea that ever sounded good to me! I love this, nicely done.  If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane, I'd walk right up to heaven and bring you home again. |

A soft read, with a touch as gentle that of a passing breeze - and as pleasurable. SusanHappiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

It was a wile of simple space A hidden door within a door Full of everlasting grace My happiness of evermore The good times are to be cherished always, and what makes life worth living. Again, it's the message within your rhyme scheme that means the most to me. Good Sunday morning to you Sy~ |
