Well my old grandpappy used to say, "Everyday you're above ground is a plus!" I always got a kick out of that simplistic but truthful philosophy! I like this Karilea!.... "do not forsake all that you do as one still reaches for a clue one still hungers for the truth and look to us to lead the youth they think they know the where they grow… it is in your NOW it is in your KNOW…." Great poem all the way through! The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up |

"they think they know the where they grow…" "it is in your NOW it is in your KNOW…." Wonderful ponderings from you first thing this morning Karilea! I loved the lines above especially ... wisdom is laced throughout this great piece, thank you!  Best wishes, /Kit |

Pursuit of advancement to the end. A noble theme well said. "Having squandered the small amount of sense I was unblessed with, I find that climbing beanstalks is really quite fulfilling." |
