Four score and more I’ve sung my song four score and four Past the age of cry and roar Through all seasons pantomime Now in care of fragile time In whispered sound I hear the new In fuzzy blur I see the dew In memories drenched with awe and pain Touch the furtherance of my reign I’m drifting towards oblivion In memories now chameleon Cherry blossoms once sublime Withering in the passing time I’ve tuned my bow a single thread To play the strings that I have wed But fingers cannot touch the goal That magic of a younger soul Today I often sit and stare Into a mist where nothings there |

Oh, Mr. T., I just love you to bits. You have lead an exemplary life. ~ One of kindness, goodness, generosity, productivity and creativity. I am a firm believer in reincarnation for its validity has been proven to me several times over in my own life and with those near and dear to me. The true stories I could tell are absolutely amazing. With all that you have been, seen, done, and lived, your next life should be a glorious one! ~ for you will have deserved it to be! A very moving piece of soul-expressive writing, Dear Sweet Sonneteering T-Man! You're the finest 84-year-young man I've ever had the privilege to know! EA |

Earth Angel If not in this life than perhaps in the next, I'll have the pleasure of meeting you. For you are on my list of things to do. |

Sy, obviously you can't see the forest for the trees I know you are in a great, green, blossoming, green forest of delightful creativity. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

quote: Dear dear Seymour you always write magic! Your Path of spiritual evolution is sprinkled with your wonderful poetry, so full of beauty and insight. I believe there is no such thing as an "old soul", the soul is forever young and you demonstrate this daily with your fantastic creativity. God bless you. Love and hugs. Margherita |
