Poem -
On The Wings Of Time
O, but to breathe the breath
Of the ineffable nature of time
On breezes that sing of paraclete wings
Born to soar on the nature of life
And the perfect measurement for rhyme
O, but to breathe the breath
Of the angelic spirit of stratosphere
On a linear continuum of instants
Propelling the self through atmosphere
And ideal in removing fear
O, but to enjoy this life
With the palate of a taster of wine
With the love of an ideal wife
And holding "Love of God" above all inside
While floating gracefully on the wings of time
'tis this I find
A sweetness in life
I'll cling to it
This perfect glide...

This poem has the flavour of Wordsworth; as though you wrote it in a pocket-sized notebook, whilst contemplating a verdant undulating landscape...the ancient bell of a medieval monastery pealing in the distance.
Of course it has, at its core, flecks of pure Tony Taylor; the imagery, the inimitable turns of phrase and the overriding feeling of being one with something greater, something cosmic and timeless.
Glide on, my friend...and keep sending us these postcards from the edge of experience.

Hey JASON!!.... It's so interesting that you used Wordsworth as an example because I've had more than a few writers make that exact same comparison to some of my other stuff......I love the classic writers and read a lot of classic poetry but I have not read Wordsworth..... guess I'm gonna have to change that!!.... so cool the way you have pointed to my profound attachment to the metaphysical and cosmic in this life!!..... we've never met.....but you know me well my friend..... and I appreciate it!!.....thanx for this!!......ttyl......T xo ?☀✴✳♥
