Follow Follow your mind into shadow And you will find its source of light Stay your thoughts within this meadow And your very soul will ignite Sense the dew that forms on grass Raise your eyes the light of dawn See the clouds the color of brass Feel once more a day is born Watch the flowers rise and wake See the birds fly overhead The butterflies in nectars take A world of hunger to be fed Extend your hand in empathy Allow your grace to fill the air Give your mind in sympathy Touch the touchstone everywhere And in the sum of one on one The purpose of your life is done |

SeymourDearestSeymour~ 'See the clouds the color of brass Feel once more a day is born' Your word-palette is loaded with the true colors of the morn~ Within your rhyme ... new day is born~ I would 'follow' you rhythmically just to LEARN~ *Huglets* ~*Marge*~ ~*The sound of a kiss is not as strong as that of a cannon, but it's echo endures much longer*~ |

Very wise, sir Sy...as always...you set the mark and the rest of us stumble before we get there. |

Seymour, Regrettably I have not visited here in a while. But I am so glad that your poem is the first that I read since I came back. It really makes me see what I have been missing. As always, you have lifted my spirit. Thanks my friend! ~you reached inside, you touched my heart, |

Friday poem? seems I have followed a little late Sir Sy but that does not distract from the poem's beauty "Watch the flowers rise and wake" works on Sunday too... |

i like this very much Mr Tabin. Found that if the light is showing, it the only place i see my shadow except within the mind, for when i turn it one of the direction the real shadow appers, till darkness or in my mind. I if read this in difference, sorry just my thoughts on your write. Which you do very well Bernie A smile a day keeps the world in smile's. Bernie Slicker |
