Rust and steel

sorenbarrett

Steel and stone built with a plan
Clouds in the air blown by the wind
Long before time began
And rainbow’s ends were pinned

In science, all is sadness
In the mind of a philosopher all is joy
In chaos there is madness
A poet’s Hope none can destroy

    My husband being a PHD in physics and I with my PHD in Poetry

    In science, all is sadness
    In the mind of a philosopher all is joy
    In chaos there is madness
    A poet’s Hope none can destroy

    Probably one of the best stanza's I've ever read. 🌹 By the way I'm the Steel believe it or not 🌹

      Thank you Teddy I believe you are the steel and polished at that, not rusted. I as always appreciate your read and most kind comments my friend.

      You bring out these nuggets nearly every day, all well polished and honed, Soren.
      This one deserves greater prominence. I agree with Teddy completely here re those four lines.
      When do you find time to eat?
      Faved because I'll want to return.

        Thanks Dave your words are so appreciated and I eat as I write my friend. I guess there were too many years of stuffed in garbage that I now have to sort through. I wont bother you again but know that I am constantly checking to see if something new comes from your pen.

          Inspiration has gone bush for a while, Soren. Hopefully there will be a return.....
