what was your last choice?
In what tone was your last voice?
what means would be the end of all reason?
what seams would you rip to end all seasons?

Why answer these questions when doing yourself in?
What recourse would you face when dumped in a bin?
Why then not take the elixir of all reliefs
abandon your soul, relax worries and beliefs.

Why then ask for an extended holiday
when parting this earth has been on your tray.
Who me suggesting that you exit form worldly stages?
whole worlds are stages where life merely engages.

Again I present you with one last chance
its a magic stone your own to romance,
rub it and you will have the answer to your means
while the question of life is still in your dreams.

That question of life can be so hard sometimes.  Very in depth writing here.  *s*

On the wings of words our spirits fly....and our souls are free.

Martin,
choices, choices what can one do
with all the choices facing you
dumped in the bin or take a chance
perhaps bypass the cut of lance
there's one thiny only I must do
forget the choice and think of you.
Keth

Here in the midst of my lonely abyss, a single joy I find...your presence in my mind.  Unknown

Yes Gentile Spirit,

hardly worth trying to answer..and yet we try.


Keth,

How sweet of you to think of me
sipping orange juice and taking tea
makes me think of writing Leonard Cohen style
now that would nifty, I might gain some miles.lol

Excellent poem, Martin....
I think chances and choices are the basic makeup of life.
