I got as far as: Something \'persists\' (verse 1). It will take me about 3 hours to translate, I expect! I\'m not fluent in Greek, only know a smidgeon. *Gets out my Greek to English alphabet list*.

Erm, Hi N. I didn\'t mean your poem hardly gets \'off the ground\'! I meant the bit about how are we supposed to be ourselves, etc\'. lol

A fine write N. A bit like: Why won\'t my telly work? Erm, try plugging it in and put the mains switch to \'on\'. \'Ahh, that would be a help\', he replied! heehee.

Erm, I expect I shall enjoy it - after couple of hours translation by myself! At the moment, it\'s \'all Greek\' to me!

Whoa, I never read a poem so educational. Tyfs! The poem was deep and yet shown in it, poetry. Very unique and a pleasure to read. Thanks for sharing again and for posting the info in your note. :)

A fine write N. I know I often say that, and it can sound a bit bland at times. I admit I get lost in cryptic-type poems or phrases.
I don\'t mean \'lost\' in \'carried away\' but rather \'not always following the thread\'. Yet as here, poets have taken your poem as what it may appear to be to them in their own imaginations.

Agree with a previous responder:
Within the nothing;
Only I.
Some very powerful thoughts and phrases, Nicholas.

I don\'t know if it\'s your intention, but abandonment pours off of this like an echo. I understand why you were happy to shed the emotion.

I think you saved yourself writing this one Nicholas Browning. what a poem full of just beautifully placed words. a genius is at work here I see. It makes my week when someones nails a poem like this. high standards need to be maintained so the anticipation for your next one heaves some pressure your way.

I know we can read things differently depending on our own energy, today that took me to a place I needed to be. Thank you for expressing your self so amazingly, and that you relate to my work.
Thanks for helping me pick the next one I\'ll post too

Nicholas, for me your poem conjured up a lonely man in a lifeboat drifting across the vast sea with no direction and no hope.
Maybe it is just my over-active imagination!
Beautiful poem, I did enjoy reading it.

I agree with Fred. There\'s so much here it could easily be fleshed out. It played out like a movie in my minds eye.

Nicholas, this oeuvre of yours is impressive! So well written. I think you could even turn it into a novel and/or a movie right up there with \"Gone with the Wind\". Really enjoyed it.

Hi Nicholas, great write. Night is a good time for me to write and I could see myself doing what you did. Great inspiration. Instead of count sheeps I whatch my sleep. It is like tricking myself saying; I don\'t want to sleep and concentrate on being awake. It makes me tired and sleep faster. I prefer you awake and writing though. Thanks
