Every man must set
His own stage
his own ways
To life his life
And love
And if you
Cross his path he's bound
To shed some blood
Because a man
Holds few things dear
But the things he
Doe's are very near.


I'm a dying romantic and when i can no longer write i can no longer live -Jeremiah Johnson-

VEry true, really liked this musing.

why must we pray
screaming? why must not death be redefined? we shut our eyes we stretch out our arms and whirl on a pane of glass-patti smith

Jeremiah,

So much truth in your words.  Love this one!!  Keep up the great work.

An interesting piece Jeremiah.
