Sometimes I stop and ask myself- What point in going on? When even in the biggest crowd, I'm somehow all alone. I've always been a loner- Even if I'm in a crowd... And always walk in silence, Though that silence is so loud. What would it take to please me? I really cannot say- I almost tire of looking, It's been a long and winding way. My motto in my journey- Is "To yourself be true". But what is truth, or fiction? I wish to God I knew. Time poses endless questions- Yet offers no reply... Like are people born in life, To wither and to die? Or, is my place in space and time An unimportant blot... The only answer to my "Why"? Is a faintly heard, "Why not?" |

Gunslinger -- great ending! I think we all asks these questions. It's a special gift when you can write things that are common ideas or questions we all think about. Keep'em comin'! I enjoy 'em! |

Me too, you are son right it gets to the point where you question it all but it's much easier to acknowledge it and plainly say yes, okay I understand, still not knowing for sure but life pushes us a long to where we never know what its all about. Well done Gunslinger, I've enjoyed. Thank you. |
