In the corridors of infinite thought,
Redemption hides her lucent eyes,
Where all worth and wisdom is wrought,
In the silent moments of still repose.
And yet the fool who, all this, knows,
Still proffers that wisdom can be bought,
Yet,when that dead end is reached, he sighs,
For,in himself,were the answers that he sought.

I so agree, ' The answers that we can find are usualy inside our selfs and if we find out things that arn't, we usualy get hurt by them' . This is a great poem, that I will confess to reading at least twice before fully getting to grips with . It's realy deep, I enjoyed it .

I am having difficulty coming up with a response for this piece. I wanted to let you know that I did read it and it inspired thought. Excellent write. I look forward to reading more from you.

When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

Interesing style you have here...it suits the topic I think..

'In the silent moments of still repose.'

and I think that in this rushed and frantic world, we are often unable to find many of these moments - and even if we do, we somehow feel guilty - because of that 'need' to do...

thanks for the read!
