My Plea-A Tennyson Phrasis

MY PLEA - a Tennyson Phrasis

By this still hearth I will drink
life to the lees.Much I have
known and seen..myself not least.
I am part of all that I have met,
yet how dull it is to pause to make
an end without this plea to thee.
From the eternal silence,something more..
a bringer of new things beyond the
utmost bound of human thought.
Come my friends,strive and find,'tis not
too late o seek a newer world.

A Christian Evangelical Phrasis inspired by some words in Ulyses by Tennyson

A Phrasis is a structured prose verse collaboration where the poet uses selected  phrases of another writer’s  (out of copyright) words  to compile  unique poetry therefrom as a tribute thereto,(the word phrasis is Greek for phrase). x

You may hear me recite this phrasis and much of my PS poetry on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro
