Walking along the line All alone we tread Each of us alone No choices no hopes We tender our voices We are solemnly ignored A conspiracy of silence across every life? Or universal denial We are brought forth naked and crying and the same we return Life is cold eternity unending We walk the line alone To take a lot of pain, |

. And why is happiness in life dependent on notice let alone approval? I have seen as with a long look the best a man can make is to create his own goodness out of a clear image of himself the satisfaction in simply being alive the pleasure of his own eyes Ecclesiastes V (3 : 1) . |

I love your poem, Paul. I also love John's reply and agree with him from the ground up to the sky. I wasn't sure whether it was the last 6 or the last 3 lines that were Ecclesiastes 3:1 so looked it up and I think that it was in fact, a particularly beautiful paraphrasing of 3:12. Not a criticism, just a confirmation of how magnificent, I think John's reply is. Owl |
