Often I often turn a page of read And think upon its planted seed The pros and con of Avalon The white and black of human swan Proselyte the will and be Horizons of the open sea The obligate of whale and sail The nuance of our wail and bail But in the dark I found the mean Within a dream the sorted scene The rose of red within my bed Those touch my senses till I’m dead And I am satisfied the wile The innocuousness of style The infinity of store And evermore of metaphor I sleep my way to Shangri-la Each night the door is left ajar |

Wonderful write Sy. To spend time in dreaming is a wonderful thing if you aren't delerious or dying. I had a problem with wile in line thirteen, I kept wanting it to be while. But maybe that's just me. Excellent job with word use. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |
