" THESE BONES "
I can always find some frail memorial to protect
But knowledge of this borrowed body does ache
I love no torturous tenderfoot that has no respect
For the beauty that surrounds us all each day
----------------------------------------------------------
I pray the gods for strength to protect these bones
For, like that frail memorial, my foundation's weak
But there's a sweet disorder in time spent alone
Affording my soul a chance, to touch the paraclete
-----------------------------------------------------------
I find it is in the beauty that surrounds these bones
Where pathos goes to die, and bountiful hope does shine
As a veiled force inside, which metaphysically postpones
The deadly deterioration, that this life does provide
------------------------------------------------------------
I can always find some glistening reminder in the ether alone
That bends and shapes the lavender light of my third eye
It's there that I swim, in the restoration of these bones
It's there that I'm reminded, that the soul never dies...
Tony Taylor

Brilliant wording here. For me I love the line
gods! The s is what matters most here. There is too much magic in this world to believe in just the one God x
Amen to that TINA!!.....Amen to that!!...after having traveled extensively I have come to precisely that conclusion......thanx so much for pointing that out......much of my poetry highlights that thought.....and points to a belief system that is not yet "In Style" ! (smiles)....thanx for kind words dear poet sister!!........lots of love to you and yours!!......T xo : )
To chance a dip inside your mind Tony, would be a feast...that I am certain, for there is true beauty to behold in these here words. That I canât help but wonder about your complete inner workings. This has to be one of my favourites from you thus far. For here in these delightful lines, you have wielded the imagery of a soul who understands the fragility, yet beauty to the nature of the physical form, and the path it transcends towards in the ever growing years of time. But also you have in the same breath, peacefully penned the power of the infinite existence awaiting, beyond the flesh that degrades. Your faith, your spiritual awareness shines like an enigmatic beacon, for all to read and feel the wonderment of your beautiful mindset. A glorious poem that I hope over time, many get the chance to indulge on
your good friendÂ

Well, were I to allow such a welcome intrusion into my inner workings you would certainly run the risk of "Mind Melding"!!......and I am not quite sure that either of us could survive such an explosion....although it is a most intriguing thought! (smiles)......once again, you have been far too generous with your words....but as usual...have managed to inspire me on to another idea that must be written.....you're a genius dear lady.....and I am humbled by your enthusiasm.....and most appreciative of your stellar impressions!!.....I am your cyber-friend and Ever-admirer!!......Lots of Love.......T xo : )
Another fantastic write Tony. Have you seen the documentary called The Blob??
This stuff is literally just slime that cannot be categorised as fish fowl animal or plant. It has no limbs eyes ears brain nervous system etc but it has intelligence!!! After being around for millenia it is now being studied by scientist worldwide. They have no answers!! The experiments are fascinating...watch it if you can I think it is a British made programme...BBC...I think x
