Although

Although my mind still flies in space
My body seems to stay one place
Gathering up antiquity
Antiquities iniquity

I’d rather me, not turn to rust
Nor fly about a speck of dust
I’d rather stay and do awhile
And add a little more my file

And even though I’d miss my friends
I know they would forgive times bend
Allow me just a little grace
To tidy up my time and place

For I’ve neglected much of real
And feasted on my minds ideal
The building of an Ivy tower
An overdose of wine and flower

Forgive me if I seem to rave
A beckoning beyond the grave

I forgive you Seymour, enjoyed your words here my friend, a lot of us live more in the mind than for real, and a lovely place to be, a place of dream and fantasy. Thank you for sharing and the rave, they are so good to have.

Sincerely
Rick

You take all the time you need dear Sy..
We all need to tidy our time and space once in awhile.
I'll keep the tea warm for you.
But...I shall miss you more than words can say, Nancy.

You are poetic pleasure, my friend~

We'll all be waiting....you know we will.
Rest up, tidy up, or just bask in the beauty of a new summer with your beloved.
Hugs, Chris

~ I be guilty of that as well, Sir Sage! But that is what we poets do! lol

"Allow me just a little grace
To tidy up my time and place"

~ Oh, okay. We'll allow you a LITTLE time ~ but then you have to hurry back to us so that you can add some more to your poetic file!

Love you! Take care of your business!

It is usually easier to live in the mind where everything is your own. Reality is often harder to face. Nice write.
