Lost Filigree Each morning when I awake I do a doubtful double take As acid time dubs my stay Dissolving bit by bit away Of now I feel an amputee It does not reach a part of me The awe that dances me each dawn A part of me I feel is gone Anesthetized by wines of why Drunk of sipping common lie I lay in stupor on my back Grieving for the part I lack Yet never will I drink enough Of this vile and raging stuff That drags me through the depths of hell The rotting and the sulfur smell As acid time sifts my stay Dissolving bit by bit away |

I know this feeling... and know how the acid works... and that is when I go in search of a base to negate the burn... and search for my sighs in Sy... |

Oh, my! I cannot help but wonder what part was amputated! Perhaps it is still there but you just can't feel it! Swish, swish, with my magic wand! ~ Numbness be gone!!! EA |

From the sight of your poetry, dear Sir, the missing part isn't obvious at all. You are such an excellent poet, Seymour!! Thank you for sharing. |

Filigree is some of the most beautiful crafstmanship in silver there is - stunning stuff - we all lose bits of ourselve - but we can pattern our loss into our beauty - and you, dear Sy, wear your beauty - Susan Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you. Joy is a state of mind. |

Of now I feel an amputee It does not reach a part of me The awe that dances me each dawn A part of me I feel is gone ============================ Sun of dawn's rise...sun in dusking set ... may the days come and go without regret. Of many things we know not the how or why, still I find my innocence & awe in Sy's sky. *ww* |
