decisions, decisions……

abstain,
decline the nod,
do without,
but go with God,
deny oneself
eschew the fact
forbear the gain
and then you may
do it all again

pursue
give chase
seek the quest
and secure Nimrod
hear the hue,
give the cry,
it's all up
to you,
you know.

abstain or pursue
decline the nod or give chase
do without, seek the quest,

deny oneself, hear the hue
eschew the fact, give the cry

to do it all again, you know

Read poetry, smile, laugh. . . shake head in amazement. . . type reply. . .

Use words of wonder, and of friendship. . . type smilie here. . .

a step ahead
in front is a wall
a step backward
there lay a ravine
can't go sideways
there's no way out
and there are
no shortcuts
no shortcuts for you
no shortcuts for me

decide, take a step
or be left there in
a standstill, immobile
like a decaying rock
Ah! What a shock!

To go left or go right
One has to act fast
to get out this maze
one has to react fast
but
he who laughs most is
the one whose laugh lasts
do I eat now or later
do I fall in love or not
do I or don't

Think, make a decision
or be aloof from
the crowd, hopeless -
like an unread book
(And now, please)
don't give me that look!

....

Hey Karilea,

See what happens....

the power of your writing is such that.... you see what you read...

Regards and take care,
Sudhir.
