Re: JennyHeart

Thank you, Jenny, for your comment, and may you have the best of days in the future. This little write merely says, not that life devours us, but death, eventually. It is of a style different from my usual writings.

Life may try to devour me but I will fight to the end for better days. Great poem

Re:Nautikos

Hmm? Amo la vita! E sulla vita eterna, così, nelle parole di michelangelo, ancora imparò, e, e...spero. Chi può sapere? Penso forse si in qualche modo...

Cosi non credi nella vita eterna?

Re:WileyJohn

It does, and I don't often go down that path... Thank you, Wiley.

Re: Kabu

As I've said before, I do so admire you, dear S. Sister. Let's hope you and Wiley are both around for a long, long time. Like many others, I've felt the Reaper's breath upon my neck myself a few times...

Re: Dear Aba Bro

Thank you for your astute observations and comments. No, it isn't a sequel to the previous poem. In fact, this was written some time ago. Yesterday's poem was inspired when I walked into a room and I misheard a line from a song playing. I thought the line said '...only Fate can read the winds..' or something like that. It actually was ...'only Faith can...' but by then my mind had already begun yesterday's poem. :) So I left it as my mind heard it, and struggled with Fate in general, or Fates, as in the Three Fates.

Today's is just something I had not posted, and it was a quick and easy post regarding how precious is each life, and how hard we can try, each of us, in spite of and because of, all that can happen...

We can try to do that, C_C_T, yes.

I really don't mind when it happens. I faced death from cancer at 49 and lived on to not just meet my grandchildren but to see them growing up and to meet and marry our Wiley.

Dear sis Presta

I found it extremely meaningful and intriguing at the same time, especially with the use of only for a while, winning the battle not the war, it speaks of the temporal satsfaction not knowing or of any assertion of the future. Let it be in the hands of the Fates. Is it a sequel to your previous poem? I can't tell for sure but have only an inkling and I could be wrong. Tell me please dear big sis Presta. Oh, how I want to break this mystery.

I suppose in a way it says enjoy life while one can. A little white hope amongst the beastly black inevitability.
