Degree Sometimes the bubble that is I Flies too high into the sky Expands within the pressures age And cannot turn another page It’s there I let some anguish seep Into forever’s total keep And slowly let myself come down To live once more upon the ground But ground cannot the spirit stay It must take off the earth to play To mingle with the phantoms plight And burn its candle in the night While digging in the catacombs Among the gone and dusty bones To read the message of each place And leave a stone upon its space It is a weary tar of grime But is the mortar of our time |

Morning greetings, Sir T! "But ground cannot the spirit stay It must take off the earth to play To mingle with the phantoms plight And burn its candle in the night"  I suppose you might have surmised that this stanza would be especially appealing to yours truly!  EA  |

"But ground cannot the spirit stay It must take off the earth to play To mingle with the phantoms plight And burn its candle in the night" Especially liked this verse, Sy. Don't know what I'd do without the night-time...and being off the earth a little.  ......jo |

But ground cannot the spirit stay It must take off the earth to play To mingle with the phantoms plight And burn its candle in the night ~*~ Sy...I'm so sorry I've been neglectful... but what you say here, above... is part and parcel of all I've been doing. Thank you!  |
