a steel portal

and
ending
with nothing


but
strange poetry

(smiles) But isn't that the beauty of poetry? To feel free and to swim as deep into the abyss as you can, only realizing while your intention was to dive for pearls, there is so much more out there that prose was not meant to describe? (big hugggsssssss) I'll tell you...I am zero-tolerant on drugs, alcohol, and smoking, but I can still see such colors, like living with kaleidoscope eyes, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Mark, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,
Noah Eaton

I hear you, Noah:  respect yourself and others and expect them to reciprocate while avoiding judgement -- a simple idea, but how many of us live it daily...?

Sometimes strange can be a good thing.It engulfs you and takes you on adventures you never knew of.On the other hand it can have a bad sense that  teaches you a life's lesson.In either case you grow and experience the path of which you choose.Well done as always

Crystal:  At the very least, it's...  "interesting"...  As long as you choose a path and grow -- I guess that's what truly counts...  just don't foget to share the wisdom along the way...

Ratleader:  ...just one example...

RomanticPoet:  The beauty with these TOL's is that each one is unique to its reader, and the interpretations inherently will be subjective.  Sometimes they're dead on with my own intent, and other times, I learn a lot by reading it over through another's fresh perspective which I would never have considered...  Thanks for giving it a try...

Helen:  It's not what's "wrong" with it;  it's what isn't "right" that makes it interesting.

LeeJ:  Wisdom is to be shared -- otherwise, it would simply be knowledge...
