The Ocean Has No MemoryIn echoes I hear laughter through the watery expanse I can almost feel the sun around which other planets dance Sometimes I struggle upward toward that lovely siren call And nearly reach the surface that defines my backward fall Sometimes I sense the blinding light that almost filters through But everything I am amounts to nothing I can do Useless is my fortune, and futile is my path I flounder in the undertow of karma's holy wrath This life is lightly graven onto weighty chains of lead And all too soon will wash away, a story left unsaid --Paras Nimh IP: Logged |

Paras,That was beautifully written, but I can't imagine that you would think of your own path as futile. As for the unsaid? I think you said it very well indeed! Gia IP: Logged |

I don't know why, but I had to post this Emily Dickinson poem. When that which is and that which was Apart, intrinsic, stand, And this brief tragedy of flesh Is shifted like the sand, When figures show their royal front And mists are carved away, Behold the atom I preferred To all the lists of clay!

Just a moment of seemingly overwhelming depression, Gia, my dear. A spectre of fear, nothing more. Given up very quickly, I am pleased to be able to say. Thank you for the Dickinson! Every time I hear one of her poems somewhere, I want to read more. Someday I'll "look it up"... maybe today? ------------------ Live as if you were to die tomorrow.
