I wasn't sure if I'd met this poem before, but I seem to think you've visited Avalon on more than one occasion.

I felt this Avalon worked better as a generalised paradise, rather than with Arthurian details.

Certainly preferable to "I am caught In memories of longing turned to dust".
The only thing that puzzles me is why the lady is weeping. Hmmm I shall ponder on this. ![]() Apologies for my absenteeism. Real world conspires to demand more of my time... I often read the thread though. Wouldn't miss a spell in Avalon - for the world! Superb writing Musty.My sincere good wishes to all who read and/or write here, in 2014 and beyond.

Absolute Accordance.
Meanwhile; under construction, awaiting one's abduction, all you wanted and much more. It is all that you are for and will be who you will be - the moment you are free. Beyond the buildings made of cake and the lemonade lake. Upstream of all idle chatter and the questions that don't matter. Through great fields of vibrations where no trials or tribulations carry weight or importance: Absolute Accordance. |

Superb writing Musty. I'm so glad you're back!!!! There's no need to apologise, I fully understand about time constraints. I was starting to wonder about alien abduction though Thanks for the comment on Voyage to Avalon by the way With Frank and Archiver returning, I'm in party mood - what a pity it's only 7:15 in the morning ![]() Quote:

Absolute Accordance is lovely and hints of Richard Dreyfuss at the end of Close Encounters. What a comeback by you Archiver

Wow! Happy New Year Archiver. Good to see you and I hope your time constraints are a good thing. ![]() Quote:
I imagine she weeps for the grey of the real Biz. So many say they perceive it that way.
I have to say I believe that my real life is as close to Heaven as I'll ever get. The more I learn about the world, the more I realize how very fortunate I've been. ![]() Quote:

That sounds to me like another version of Heaven.

As you know Biz, a light phase is usually followed by a dark one
After nice tranquil shores and Avalon, it's likely something wicked this way comes.... (You know what I'm saying Frank - DON'T WAIT FOR ME TO POST as you are wont to do - did you hear that?) ![]() ..........You too Archiver........ ..........Sandy....et al.......... |

![]() But never fear, nothing remotely dark came through today! I have a question about Voyage to Avalon instead. In that penultimate verse again, I end a line with 'me and you'. I obviously used that to rhyme with 'too' - but I believe the correct term is you and I. Putting aside poetic license, how wrong is me and you?

You would say "Those loved ones I've lost greeting me" - not I, so I'd say what you have written is correct. ![]() (Grrrr! It's so complicated using this site compared with the original.) |

However, unless you're American, it's poetic licence. not license - c is the noun and s is the verb in English.

![]() I take your point about the singular thing but isn't 'you and me' still wrong? Sorry to keep on but I like to get things right or they bug me, as you know

![]() Your best bet is to consult friend Google. I like to keep it simple, but I also would prefer to know if I'm wrong, so I'm sure Googling "I or me" will explain it in more depth. ![]() There's a good test on the Bristol University site. |

The only thing that puzzles me is why the lady is weeping. Hmmm I shall ponder on this.
