Bouncing Echoes Bouncing echoes passed my head Some alive and some were dead Some wore shadows on their wings And some had webs of hanging strings. I tried to catch some in my ear Some that passed of yesteryear Held them in a sticky bind The nectar of a searching mind I viewed them once again in clear Less emotion and less in fear Weighted them a scale of true And watched them change to something new. They seemed to form a prickly rose Of sucrose sweet and thorns expose While in my youth they turned my head It’s rose and thorn I took to bed Roses are the sedge of pledge As long as you don’t dredge the edge |

I didn't know that roses are the sedge of pledge, so I've learned something. Good write, the metre is perfect as usual. Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind. Unknown |

I viewed them once again in clear Less emotion and less in fear Weighted them a scale of true And watched them change to something new. They seemed to form a prickly rose Of sucrose sweet and thorns expose While in my youth they turned my head It’s rose and thorn I took to bed Roses are the sedge of pledge As long as you don’t dredge the edge ------------------------- Randy aint afraid of no thorns  I viewed them once again in clear Less emotion and less in fear Weighted them a scale of true And watched them change to something new. I love the wisdom and humility of that verse Sy-babers... so much truth in your words.. the world would be a much kinder place if such wisdom was applied in our daily lives. As always I learn from your rhymes divine.  *ww*   Through the water ... through the rain ... to the soul of everything Wash my heart out on the stones ... and I'm almost gone. David Gray |
