How Far How far must I wonder? To meet life’s need Stagger and blunder Cry and plead How long must I travel Before I rest Stunned and unraveled By the test What time have I left? To round the bend Before I’m bereft By the end I don’t have a clue? But hear the Chime Of the coming coup And its time Is the answer in breath? Or as simple as death |

Seymour, gee, this is a great write as usual, but, why so gloomy? I do hope everything is fine with you dear poet. I guess we all ponder this question at one time or another. But, to-day I don't want to as I have to go sit in the dentist chair in an hour or so. Good grief!! tea & toast hugs, Chris ![]() "Hope" is the thing with feathers- that perches in the soul.... -Emily Dickinson [This message has been edited by Nightshade (01-14-2003 07:46 AM).] |

How far indeed. We all know the road ends sooner or later, we just hope for a "long and winding" one. Had me wondering in S1 if you meant "wander," but from what I've read of your work, you probably did meant "wonder." A play on words, yes? Cor |

Oh, I like this one, Seymour... very much!! *S* I was thinking how much I identify with the first verse... and then the second... and then... and then... and then I knew it really was mine when I read "clueless." *S* Somber and profound... and absolutely excellent. *S* |
