Perhaps this life
is looking for
its end in me

Like grasping
for a goldfish
in pitch black waters

A chasm for every
grain of sand
each unlike the other

no needs, no cares
no knowledge
not a moment known to pass

Perhaps this life
is just looking for an end
and finding it in me

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Capo my dear, I don't believe I care for your tone here, you sound forlorn. We can't have that. Take two Idas and call me in the morning... ~L

I can absolutely relate, Mr Martini . . . But tomorrow is another day . . . Sun may be shining then . . .

This may very well be true for you Martini, but you know how I feel...I mean, you know how I feel about spreading rumors.

I'd take Miss Lori's advice if I were you and see your 'pharmacist' as soon as possible.  


88's bud!

She told me "play one for your supper Danny and maybe you'll get breakfast".

Merci beaucoup mon cher Lori Rhoden. If anything is left of me after "two Ida's", I'll give you a jingle.

Just don't expect much.

Here's to you and here's to me and should we ever disagree, here's to me!

Perhaps! Perhaps Life's desire to be LIVED is stronger than your melancholy. Now imagine the goldfish in pure crystal waters and feel your heartbeat as the most wondrous tune ...

No, I tell you, it's too soon ... and who says it (life) ends? It transforms! But not yet, I agree with Jan!

Your poem is thought provoking and intriguing, makes me want to uplift you though.
