Drifting Down Drifting on the human river Puts a strain upon my liver Draws me under the waters run And places me a state of stun My lungs are full of human stain Bathed in acid of its pain Tumbled o’er the rocks of wrath Torn upon desires path Even night will lend no peace I cannot find the Golden Fleece I swim upon a currents run The fight with time cannot be won The brine has eaten to the core And I am close to never more It seems the rue and anchors I Has frayed and cut the hold of why And though I grab the sight of straw Still I drift to nevermore. |

Morning Sy! Now we don't want you floating off to nevermore any time soon... So until then I'll throw you a life preserver... and a cup of Chai tea.  Excellent morning write as always Sy. ~Morning hugs, Nancy~ ~Autumn..the year's last, loveliest smile.~ |

Good morning Jason! How are you and the Argonauts? I too, am in search of the Golden Fleece. If by chance I were to find it again before you do, I most assuredly would be a sharer of its magic. I shall begin my search for the winged ram in the constellation of Aries.  Don't drift too far down that river! I want to be able to find you when I return! I'm off!  EA |

The brine has eaten to the core And I am close to never more It seems the rue and anchors I Has frayed and cut the hold of why And though I grab the sight of straw Still I drift to nevermore. ~*~ Even when we are too exhausted to sleep... we must. Can't say exactly where this took me, Sy... I seem to be somewhere in the poet's eye...    |

The word "lyrical" is always foremost in mind when I read you. No one does it better. Eric |
