whale, i'm still wrapping my head around this one, you've served up so much food for thought, i don't know where to begin.

thank you for a wonderful read.

dear shadoe - I have no doubts that your great soul would swallow this w/hole in one - thanks as always for kindly stopping by :)

So into this world, we arrive vulnerable, and alone....and when time afforded expires, we leave the same...and in between, all is but illusions, and delusions, created (essentially) to help us cope with our existence.....as we struggle to survive--a l o n e..

( or, perhaps, something like that...?? ) :p

Soooo.....before i completely cross the borders into the philosophical realm,(umm...might have already :/) i wish to tell you how much i enjoyed this poem!

Mo Chara,I appreciate that you have created a piece that leaves, not only your readers, but myself with points to consider...within the abstract, and  the realistic!

Thank you for sharing!  

Dear Enchantress - I'm humbled by your interest and so glad that you enjoyed it - yes naked in and naked out - so it begins is how it ends...and though (it being a material world) we will always experience anger, fear and loneliness from time to time as things happen or we thought they happened..
we have a choice as to how we feel about them and from this choice comes the gift of understanding and with the gift of understanding comes an opportunity, a bid for freedom or :) something like that...

Wow Whale, You made me cry. Simply beautiful

Your eyes are full of grace - thank you for this the sweetest compliment :)

Sometimes I wonder about the truth, is everything false, except the truth or is there no truth?
We all wonder about it sometimes.

*even beautiful doesn't begin to describe your work*

Sitting here so far from home this morning - those are lovely words to wake to Lee

"Your enemy lives inside your head." Very true, we are our own worst enemies. Good write.

Thanks for stopping by Xmar - there was a point when we became who we were, and there will we be another point when we will no longer be who we are:)

Love this poem, well written and strong imagery.
