A Mental Mountain I climbed a mental mountains height To see my sky of inner light To weed illusion, pull the root Feed upon realities fruit But subtle time had changed the stage My age now reads a different page Reality had burned as fuel And what was left was but a fool A phantom calling on the past That knows damn well the die was cast I hold a bouquet turned to straw Delusions full of evermore The snow white dove is still as white Thought age, has turned it dimmer bright And sands of time cause skin to flake A preparation for our wake And I am left but fantasy To fill my souls eternity |

Good morning, Sy. A tender love, this poem, of life, and one lived very well. Without our small failures, we would never know our grander successes. To Sy!  |

And I am left in the reality that your pen would be my fantasy. Good morning sir and may your day be as strong as your wisdom. |

You encompass all the explorations with class and dignity...your intuitive vision is pure poetic clairvoyance. *ww*   Poetry is emotion put into measure. |

I know of this place where the weary dove flies the skies as light slowly dims ever steadily into our horizon...as we dream of times ago when warriors rode their steeds upon the field of youth with fire. |

Not so fast my poetic friend. Your words capture youth's exuberance, and splash it upon the page. There is joy in the twilight years. We don't grow older, we become wiser, more seasoned. A good thing.  |
