I Stay I stay the day till evensong And in the night I right each wrong With symbols sward I play the game Touché I cannot read the blame It is, a puzzlement to me To cast a net upon the sea And drag it up from night to light To find it empty to my sight Each day I fix the net to spread And take it with me into bed Wait upon the time of wile And throw the net with all my guile And when I pull the net abreast It seems but full of symbols jest That flips and flops from spot to spot That will not show an end or dot It is the visions in the night That hold the flowers of the light |

Oh, those dreams of symbols... reaching for meanings just beyond our grasp, but not beyond our intuit... Yes, stay...I'll help weave the net, you pour some of your tea... we'll talk.    |
