And each day passes by in a melancholy haze, not knowing where we're going, or even where we've been, searching for a lost Nirvana in the doldroms of our souls and our life. and with each day that passes what can we do but hope, or dream? what is this maya? what is this haze? a motel for our souls before the greater journey ensues --one that has to end with happiness -because-well, what else is left? |

I see the truth in what you wrote. It makes since to me. I like it. Good job and keep writing. If dying is the process of living life to its end. Then what is living? |

rich-pa: yet another magnificent final, clenching line... where do you get these? *grumbles* you'll have to show me some day... or is it just that you get tired of writing and want to go to bed or something? *heh*... either way... good job sincerely, jerome the mysterious priest A savage place! as holy and enchanted As e'er beneath a waning moon was haunted By woman wailing for her demon-lover! ~Coleridge |

Rich-pa this was great. I really like the phrase "melancholy haze". It has such great imagery. Good job. "WRITING IS EASY. ALL YOU DO IS STARE AT A BLANK SHEET OF PAPER UNTIL DROPS OF BLOOD FORM ON YOUR FOREHEAD." Gene Fowler |
