THE PLOT!

Once again my mind turns to thoughts of what
The Grandmaster planned while deciding our lot
And were we really players in the game?
Or merely embellishments to the actual plot?

And if we were part of what He planned
Why could we not reach out for His hand?
Why have we to wait for the waves to cast us out
Like pebbles upon the sea shores sand?

And what is that invisible line lying between
The happiness and sorrow all men have seen?
And is not the one the friend of the other?
Does not one, the prelude to the other mean?

The ageless question asking why, Asked from anothers eyes.  The truth I know will always hide from the conscious we abide.  

Wonderful piece.    Enjoying each and every one.

Yes, what excellent questions. Questions that have gnawed at man's soul for centuries. A great piece of work!

Yes the great tapestery in life, it's to bad we'er on the side with the knots.

Joel.

I howl a mournful song, that echos within my chambered heart, for all to read? nay for all to feel.
