It is always great to make a comeback and return to where you left off.

I wake up with some sense of joy to be grateful this morning,

Being alive it is a blessing you’re saved from the mourning;

Excluded from those consumed and fallen in the evening,

Lives ended to be part of the grand scene in the playing;

Back to my usual day of endless, hopeless storytelling,

It is the big price I have to pay for keeping on living;

Opening my laptop to get back to my articles in posting,

I will be back to the time consuming act of commenting;

Sometimes more elaborate and exhaustive than writing,

But the two must be kept in balance to be worth fulfilling;

For life without purpose in written words would be nothing,

An eternity of endless quest for meaning without existing.

    Thank you so much Will. Your friendship is very precious to me!
    Take care my friend!

    Interesting, somewhat puzzling philosophy. I know those who have never written a word who live meaningful lives. I have read works by writers who clearly have nothing meaninful about which to write. Must work both ways.

    Ken I’m just adding lines to extend my poetry. Don’t think much of the philosophy there. There’s quite a rush about posting nowadays that I often write my posts without much thought. That’s my only way of beating the cybereditor-in-chief at Triond.

    I’m grateful for every day I am given.:)

    To some, writing is life. To others, it is simply a means to an end. You can tell who’s who by reading wht they have to say.

    great poem, and I love the picture.

  • Tanya Wallace on Nov 17, 2009

    Loved this Will.I loved how you added both so intricately togteher but yet apart.I agree that life without prupose in written words would be a useless waste of time.Although I do agree with Ken, some write, however; they have nothing meaningful or useful to say, they are writing for the sake of it because they believe they can make some extra money.Words are merely just words without feeling. Very thought provoking write as I have come to expect from you Will! Excellent work as always!

  • Tanya Wallace on Nov 17, 2009

    Very deep, but a very interesting read.

  • Mark Gordon Brown on Nov 18, 2009

    Life is both too long, and too short, not to do, and have, the things you love.

  • Guy Hogan on Nov 18, 2009

    Yes, writing makes life more exciting. How true.

  • Geomorphosis on Nov 19, 2009
