I get the drift of life’s flow and how unperturbed it runs directly and determinedly right to the very end. No rock can bar the way or stand up to the force of unrelenting movements towards extermination of our once-upon-a-times. Few and far is driftwood that pauses on the bank to feel again the wonder of days spent in the sun and bask in a re-run of what once was meaningful. And even those lucky few soon lose their desperate hold as the inexhaustible current of time overpowers feebleness and returns unto itself the power to decide each and every fate. As a river wends its way through mountains, valleys, dales, to finally arrive at the waiting sea so each and every life force dances little jigs through prevailing circumstances, people, and events, until it’s merely vapour in an occasional thought soon too to disappear like a river into sea. And there’s no river to be seen in the hungry jaws of sea by future generations standing on the shore and yet we’re all embroiled in life’s amazing travesty so passionately playing at being meaningful. Would that there could be a re-appearance of thought forms to tell the “whys” and “what fors” of flowing speedily towards a state of being ... completely meaningless! |

A poem of "why go on, all leads to nothing".....Perhaps an event or just deep thought has urged you to write these words down? Do not misunderstand, I do like the poem....it is written well and I am one who believes that a poet should say what he or she feels, no holds barred... I have no argument that is not faith based (for the most part) to desolve the solids, of this poems content... The story line has moved me, and that shows the poem is successful enjoyed ---------ice ><> Come read to me some poem, |

Hi, Maureen - dream away. It doesn't hurt any physical part of the anatomy. Ice - Thanks for the read. I have faith in an eventual purpose and reason for everything - it's just not evident in the here and the now where we presently all are. I do very much appreciate your comment - thanks. |

Your powerfully descriptive words flow swiftly in the torrential current of this poetically moving river )))))))))..... This is not exactly what I'd call "going with the flow"! lol This flow is more like a forceful and all-consuming deluge that sweeps one away into the devouring jaws of a hungry and waiting sea! You sure know how to write, Dear Bunches of Honey!   EA |

Dixie - thanks so much for reading - for always reading. EA - Wow - did I really write like that? I do admit to having had a hearty laugh when reading your reply. Thank you so much for that. Eric - Thank you! |
