Just a word to say my computer was down for three days. Lost in Time Of all the things that I have lost I miss my mind the most The phantoms and the fantasies Now dimmed within the host There was a time I could control The playing of the fife The agony and ecstasy The living of my life But now I sit a withered chair Bald for I have lost my hair Slipping in and out of dreams to Wake I could not swear It’s not that I’m in fear the end For most my friends are gone I’m more into the after life Than days that I was born Forgive this play on bells of chime It is the rhythm of the time |

Hugs, have missed you, and so happy to see you back, in such rare form, you depict this fearful moment which mocks all of us in the forthcoming wheels of the autumn of our lives...well done...and sending along a welcome home, it's good to read you again...Happy Friday dear Sy |

It’s not that I’m in fear the end For most my friends are gone I’m more into the after life Than days that I was born Forgive this play on bells of chime It is the rhythm of the time ~*~ Wondered where you were...thought perhaps another vacation with Lady Isabelle... Welcome home, Sy... Happy Friday! |

"I’m more into the after life" yes! I sorta think we get several tries to get it right and well...that means I have at least a few left. Wonderful Sy!!! "too bad ignorance isn't painful" |

Of all the things that I have lost I miss my mind the most I love when you write fiction. That mind is just FINE...and its wrapped in rhyme. *ww* |
