Straining on an elusive thought

That teased me to capture it.

I not the master, but the writer

Of what is sent to me as I write.

 

Is it life that appears in print

Or just an active imagination?

How can one be divorced

From the other, saucer and cup.

 

Liquefied they are unique-

One must have their ham and eggs,

A glass of beer to flush it down

Before you can say you have lived.

A cup needs a saucer, ham needs sausages or eggs to make a complete breakfast. Even in cup and saucer, and ham and eggs, there is special bond between them to make wholeness.

I'll drink to that, G! Elusive as a butterfly and they morph quicker than the time it takes to conceive them. 'Life' is largely what we perceive it to be as our reality is how we respond to what we are experiencing. One (wo)man's ham is another's eggs; personally, I'll have my cake and eat it! :) Always a pleasure. xx
