Metaphors and Seaweed I found myself tonight between the shaking and the sweat, hallelujah and regret, the ocean and the wet. Revelation is a book John wrote. Separated from his heart he listened to his dreams. In the surf of distant screams I heard what he was saying and I wept. But the sea has turned to glass and now I have forgotten who I Am. Nan (Pilgrim variety) |

"But the sea has turned to glass and now I have forgotten who I Am." ~ Oh, so sad an ending you have penned, Dear Pilgrim. Sway with the seaweed! Make like the ocean and wave! ~ and I'll wave back to you!   EA |

This really hits me between the eyes.....and in an inch or two. I'm not sure whether it's because this is a stunningly good poem, or because it strikes the exact chord I'm ringing to right now....and I don't care which, because it's probably both. |

Good old Revelation the best chapter in the KJV. You wrote a nice poem Pilgrimage. You didn't happened to see the angel of no mercy fly by did you? Dave |

Darn it, I swore up and down that I was going to finish a poem yesterday....but too many phone calls, too many tests to make, too many people striding in....ain't that always the way? But like John I haven't forgotten who I am, so write I will....write I must. ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸¸¸ºº> ~~(¸¸ ¸¸ºº> ~~~(¸¸ER¸¸ºº> |

Guys (and gals) I so appreciate you taking the time to comment on this one. The original inspiration came all at once, and wrote itself on the paper. But the revising and editing was hard. Of course, that's usually the way, isn't it? Nan (Pilgrim variety) |
