The Hand Rail The hand rail of my guide, is think With that I give a little wink For random are the cobble stones That paves the road beneath my bones And yet I tip toe through the field The quick sand mortar of the yield With hand on plane and tap of cane I make my way from sane to sane To walk the forest floor of grime Dissolving in the swamp of time To watch the changing filigree The limits that my eyes can see I see more candles in my sight They light the earth like stars at night Winking in and out my dream Making shadows in the stream They bob and throb each touch of core To reach the sea of evermore |

Sy, your words always give me that wonderful "I just got a good poetry fix" kind of sigh.  I love the wording in this piece and found it very visual. Really well done and much enjoyed this Friday morn.  Best wishes and hugs, /Kit |

"I see more candles in my sight They light the earth like stars at night Winking in and out my dream Making shadows in the stream They bob and throb each touch of core To reach the sea of evermore" What a beautiful visual passage this is here Sy! You always start my day off feeling good. Hugs & Smiles, Nancy Something tugs at me, I've no doubt of that. |

"...For random are the cobble stones That paves the road beneath my bones..." These are a few of my favorite lines. Its good to read you again, Sy! "I want to heal, I want to feel, like I'm close to something real" |
