How Far How far must I wonder? To meet life’s need Stagger and blunder Cry and plead How long must I travel Before I rest Stunned and unraveled By the test What time have I left? To round the bend Before I’m bereft By the end I don’t have a clue? But hear the Chime Of the coming coup And its time Is the answer in breath? Or as simple as death |

Seymour, gee, this is a great write as usual, but, why so gloomy? I do hope everything is fine with you dear poet. I guess we all ponder this question at one time or another. But, to-day I don't want to as I have to go sit in the dentist chair in an hour or so. Good grief!! tea & toast hugs, Chris  "Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul.... -Emily Dickinson [This message has been edited by Nightshade (01-14-2003 07:46 AM).] |

Sy, I like the simplicity of the words and the complicacy of the question in this poem. Interesting and thought provoking. Enjoyed, Pat  ..without surrender, be on good terms with all persons.. "Desiderata" [This message has been edited by regards2you (01-14-2003 08:01 AM).] |

 (big hugggsssssss) Oh Seymour, this is lovely, sweet friend, this is so very true and I too suffer this kind of anxiety deep inside wondering if I may ever wonder to where the treasure chest lies! (sigh) God Bless You, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Seymour, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

How far indeed. We all know the road ends sooner or later, we just hope for a "long and winding" one. Had me wondering in S1 if you meant "wander," but from what I've read of your work, you probably did meant "wonder." A play on words, yes? Cor |

Oh, I like this one, Seymour... very much!! *S* I was thinking how much I identify with the first verse... and then the second... and then... and then... and then I knew it really was mine when I read "clueless." *S* Somber and profound... and absolutely excellent. *S* |
