Spirit exits from opened mouths that yawn new days spring from the morning light of dawn are there problem of existence that you shoulder as you trek mountain clefts, arms on boulders. Trudge through snow drifts for countless days life wanderings a mainstay while you're away in log cabins, aware of sinister infectious germs you come to grips with life's temporary terms. Crisp mountain air caresses icycles that drip fathom your life: no definite answers to grip body covers flap heedlessly in gusts of wind lovers ask themselves where they have sinned. some live to ask the reason why life escapes others succumb to death's caress on their fair napes some die short of breath as nature flies and stare death in the face when they must die. |

ecrivan, A "dark" poem but with hope. I have to say I liked this because I have been there. I can feel the coldness of alone-ness, but also feel maybe, just maybe, there is still hope, ME |

I've tried to 'come to grip with life's temporary terms', but it isn't easy. As always, your poetry makes me think. Nan |

some live to ask the reason why life escapes Martin...I keep asking this question... Your poem really made me do a lot of thinking about life and death...and this is a very pertinent subject for me right now. Happy Passover!  copyright2002 Lyra Nesius |

 (big hugggssssss) It too saddens me to see so many stare into the face of death and get lost in it, dearest friend, I am ready to die when that day comes but I believe thinking of death is something we should train ourselves not to do and rather reflect on each present moment! (sigh) This is dark but wonderful, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Martin, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

very well written... and very sad...but essentially true. As days grow short and nights grow cold, The seasons change, the young grow old. as spring is changed to winter once again we hesitate before the chilling frost. Fearing that in change all will be lost. Cherish the good memories past and look forward to the adventure called Tomorrow. |

Hello Passing Shadows I see how we have some things in common when we reflect on life that passes by, read a couple of your poems like the one on Nothing..reminds me of the many who have nothing to say. |

Magic Mystery, Maybe I ought to take off some time from my part-time teaching and write more of this stuff? |
