I’ve Set My Eyes I’ve set my eyes upon a door Made of the ghost of evermore Held together by veils of mime That stays with me the realm of time I cannot find the handles latch Unlock the gardens Eden’s patch And though I turn forever’s key Twill not open the door for me I fly upon a dragon’s back To go beyond my printed track To burn away the veil I see And touch upon the true of me It is so sad the dragons old His fires cooled but not his bold But still he flies and we go by The only difference is a sigh I do not know if I’ll transcend But either way twill be the end |

Oh, dear Seymour, this is a truly touching write. .... "the ghost of evermore", you say it! Of one thing I am sure: it will not be the end... I think we remain "in the flow". The soul's flight will be more passionate than that of the dragon. We are vectors of light. It's so good to visit here and find this great work by you, dear Seymour. Love, Margherita  |

In eyes that see and like our minds Gently surrender To our time Took me a couple of tries to get an idea of your words I hope I am not too far off the mark Dave |

Dear Seymour, Transcendence is a word of many colors. As you know it basically means to go beyond where one is. You have transcended many times in many ways. And yet, you are. Your poem is very symbolic and may be understood, therefore in several ways. Are you speaking of physical death? Since you have already transcended in many way, death is only another transcending and guess what? You will find the real you there! BJ |

Sir, you shall never do anything other than create a treasure chest of all that you have given each of us.... |

If it is "you" who transcends...Then "you" are no further beyond the veil than the day "you" were "born". Excuse my blah blah blah. It was a wonderful write! As always. |

"I cannot find the handles latch Unlock the gardens Eden’s patch And though I turn forever’s key Twill not open the door for me" Contemplative work Sir. I enjoyed it very much. |

Barry, A very humble thanks my friend. Uriah, Perhaps a part of the greater soul. Thank you. BROTHER JOHN, My answer is the same as Uriahs, perhaps. Debo, And I love your replies. Thank you Lady, No more than I enjoy the grace of your replies. |
