~ This Is My Stay..."

Within the imagination,Β 
I am content to live,
This,
Is my stay...

I see how plenty, how ever-expanding it is
"The all" a rich array
Of ever-rotating rainbow colors
With which to paint,
And to never
Ever
Fade away,
This, is my stay...

My glorious garden, my bridge
My gateway
Into possibilities scarcely heard,
Fair whispers and inclinations
Where new music can be made
With purple compliments
Providing shade,
Beneath which
Rich ideas have no graves
Only wellsprings and matinees
Inking inspiration
It is here
I would eat, sleep, and pray
Yes, this,
Is my stay...

Where time knows no days
And worries have no prey
Where,
Upon passions picnic blankets
Are served golden words
Which only ever convey
a never-ending display
Of heavenly ballets
And opportunities to say
Anything you wish
Through
Poetry, book, or play
For,
Within the imagination
Inspiration
Never disobeys
Yes,Β 
This, is my stay...

Tony Taylor

My Dearest Brother Tony,

Wow!Β  It's another "grand slam" for the inimitable Tony Taylor.Β  The depth of your works are incomparable, delving into the core of mankind.

"Upon passions picnic blankets
Are served golden words
Which only ever convey
a never-ending display"

"My Stay" on Earth has been phenomenal
Like most, I've had my ups and downs
Oft times I have been happy
Others, my eyes have frowned

.
But through it all I have been tutored
And learned my lessons well
Sometimes I am in Heaven
Sometimes I am in Hell

All my love,
Larry xxx
