I’m living in a house full of reasons to be alone; always stepping over scattered debris, the tattered remnants of others’ unwanted schemes; lightly skirting razor edges on all the shattered dreams, the piles of unwanted hand me downs from lives I wish I’d never known, and I am tired to the bone. Can you give me a new reason to keep me going on? Karma’s trading lower in my portfolio. I’d sell a couple lifetimes for the peace I use to know; I’ve settled all the debts I can on this life's shabby carousel, I really am weary from carrying all the lessons I’ve been shown, and I am tired to the bone. ©2004 by icebox |

Maybe the next life will include instant disposal of anyone ideas immediately they cease to think of them or produce Life on the wheel seems fast at times and mind-boggling slow at others Only problem is they fixed the batteries and we get shot of the planet Excellent words from you as usual Dave |

icebox "Can you give me a new reason to keep me going on?" I think sometimes the reasons don't become clear until after the going on. |

I have such a heavy karma and have been back so many times... I don't know if I'll ever get 'it' right. Love this..dear man with the 'hauntingly knowing' eyes. ~Hugs & Smiles, Nancy~ Poetry is not an opinion expressed... |
