                   half-life

                   they say it's all about how
                   you react to things
                   not about what happens to you

                   well then
                   perhaps my reactor has gone critical
                   because I'm not reacting well

                   there is never an end to it
                   always piling on with
                   more demands to be made and
                   while the spinning dials are
                   watched closely by all
                   the water in the cooling tower
                   boils away and
                   leaves the fuel
                   to melt down

seems like everyone goes through those times...and they are never easy, but sometimes I have to wonder, if a lot of times, I didn't make it harder on myself then need be. Great food for thought you have written here.

Thank you

You're right Kraw..there is never an end to it.
And thank heaven there is never an end to your wonderful talented writing.

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

oh, yeah, and your poem is metaphorically brilliant, I would say!

Whether on the shoal or on the shore,
I'll seek the lighthouse evermore.

Krawdad,

Yes, I have been on 3 Mile Island myself, rather be 3 miles high!

Well done and enjoyed a whole lot.
