What man ‘knows’ Deep, mean cloud legions march across a grey-vaulted sky hung low, as a howling banshee wail mocks the soul’s desolation, and wild-wind snowflakes dance with restless leather leaves in grand Winter chaos all around in this nether world where even the rocks and shadows hold their breath, and the artificial Time of men has lost all meaning. Listen, listen to the Winter wind for there is more truth there than any man really ‘knows.’ --- b. e. adams (2/21/2015) |

I guess we really don't know much when you think about it, Bruce. Something to think about. Ida |

Yes it is something to think about ... we are rather like the goldfish who does not even 'know' who changes his water. |

This cold winter which brings devastation to many, does indeed seem to be ominous. Enjoyed you take on it. Jo |

Man does indeed know very little. I like your analogy of the goldfish. Another word-painting which you deliver so adeptly. |
