There was a cherub quite small
Yet so etched in verse
That chloroform emitted from his parsley chords
If in doubt he would say
Ask the wise man of golden tones
So I asked
And what?, oh speaker of karat rhymes
Do you bring in oft of thine own sweet words?
To which he replied
If a question is asked
Then in answer a question shall be given
But you are much more endowed than i!
Am I?
Think about it
Save not old things
For the past remains
Only for reference to mistakes
So be it I said
And I shall not dwell on accomplished things
Trodding further upon a gaze
A gaze of hope
I spied the heaving of the Millesian depths
The Isle of Sincillios lie below
A rock which drawn
Cut crystal
There in the streets
A cart slowly turned
Its wheels in agony
A well for all
A beggar
And there
Beneath a shelf
Was a maiden
With a tear
Please maiden the tear be stopped
For what has it fallen?
It has fallen for a realization of the essence
The essence?
Yes
I know thyself.

Only for reference to mistakes"

| Thank you for your kind words. Trek to Essence is simply that. If one finds the essence of themself then that is the basis of you and the foundation of your existence. To find the essence of a person or thing is the truth of understanding....................doug |
