Our God created an end
We don't understand.

Hi Seymour..
            I don't believe I have ever heard a more profound statement in such a beautiful simplistic form.  This thought will follow me today!   Your work is always inspiring to me......


Today is a gift....
That is why they call it
'the Present'!

I am so glad to see God slip into your poetry.He certainly does provoke philosophical thought. This is a perfect Haiku, so much presented in a few short words

Kethry,
Thank you for the haiku and here is one for you.

With a hemlock grin.

Elizabeth,
I love you too.

Janet,
Nothing like diving deep. Lovely gator.

Ok this is not the place for a challenge but you started it.

from the wineskin's dark bladder

Dear Seymore, A beauty and thought provoker. I look at "the end", as a end to strive, struggles and sin. Thanks for a most enjoyable read.  Love, Marcy

Keth,
The challenge remains
And blind faith to me is strange
Takes two to make one.

Alle'cram,
Thank you and I do too.

Where's the challenge here
when two entwined together
makes the perfect whole.

The whole is illusion
Two may touch but not entwine

The circle winds back
collapsing on itself now
imitating life

Let us have our dreams
holding hope where, there is none
before the time ends.

This is getting ridiculous >:P
