Rewrite: Doxology We all search for the golden ring We’re all cut from a silver string Some search in and some search out But that we search there is no doubt Some search the sea for answers there Some climb the mountains in despair Some search a sacred inner zone Some search the outer face of stone Some treat life with a velvet glove Some think the answer lies in love We do the dictates of our heart That is the most important part Some hold the string until the end Some twist a twist in symbols bend And some will say we don’t exist And some will swear there’s beyond the mist But truth lies in Pandora’s Box Where in lies the paradox |

loved the title, and the wisdom behind your words, and in-between the lines... Your a master teacher and I have learned this morning... Some hold the string until the end Some twist a twist in symbols bend And some will say we don’t exist And some will swear there’s beyond the mist But truth lies in Pandora’s Box Where in lies the paradox Excellent!!! |

Dear Ssymour, You are making us think. Maybe you know the answer to this one: "Where was Adam when Eve opened Pandora's box?" I think he was in the Paradox's box. |

Dear Seymour, Was it the apple on the tree or the "pair" on the ground? I like your reply for it is more biblical. Some Jews claim the fruit was a fig. Well, they maybe right as a FIGure of speech! |

The quest for the elusive obvious. Trying to measure our shadow...with our foot, and wondering why it never seems to end. LOL The quest itself is the paradox. I love this Sir Sy. As I have loved every penning of yours. And yes...no matter what is released...beneath it all...There is Hope. LOL Which is also a paradox. There was never a lacking. :: bows :: |

And what was the truth of Pandora's box? Was it love or was it clocks-- WHICH was sealed beneath the lid? ...Curious lessons better left hid. Very interesting poem, Seymour, which travels that age old question. Why? Klassy |
