I can capture moments
I can laugh
and smile
and feel joy

But the edges
once so distinct and precise
are shadowed
fading in the emotional ache
of uncertainty

And the laughter
Smiles
and joy
end on a quiet sigh
a shakey breath
or a crystal tear

My mind whispers "Where are you going?"
I have no answer

As Sven said, and what seems to be the sense of what Meg Ryan said in "You've Got Mail", something to the effect of not so much expecting, or even wanting an answer, as needing to launch the question out into space. Bon Voyage. Bob

Perhaps an answer is not what the question seeks...but only to survive.
My mind whispers "Is survival really living?"
I have no reply

Once again, I love the way you write.
