Your constructive comments are gifts to me. Dead Ends? One special day, with its long afternoon, I trod a "mazing way."Mid foggy haze The pathway ended quickly with dark gray's Ensuing shadows, playing a sad tune. Surrounding this dead end, I saw graves strewn, And Death stood with his scythe!His glaring gaze Of ire pierced my soul midst this dead end maze; And Death thought I bound by his venom's rune! I stalked Death in his scathing eyes and said, "Souls you've slain at this dead end's last milestone And shrouded each on a Procrustean bed!" "Death, your dead end conclusions I disown; A pathway I declare from you instead!" I snatched his scythe and cut through the unknown! |

Dear WindWalker, Thanks for your comments. It is sad when people live with all conclusions. Life itself is an open narrative but some think it is a dead end. BJ |
