Peace does not appear to be a natural component of physical life, nor was it meant to be, I believe. We learn best through strife and challenges. Why else come back if not to advance our soul\'s wisdom?
I appreciate your poem, Nicholas!

Good commentary on the conversation. Maybe they are all parables written by the victors.

In me dafter moments - sherry-drinking, pork-pie eating moments that is - I also have moments where I may be confused, and dunno if I\'m on foot or horse-back. That is, if some poems may get too cryptic for me! lol.

I doubt the uneducated man (if it\'s me, or whoever it is. lol) will be able to understand the history scholar!
There\'s more I could say about your \'one man\' personal comment, though it would lead off to a religious, or spiritual, or call it whatever, discussion.

To you Nicholas, it might have been \'just a simple work to pass the time\', but to me this is a very relevant and well written poem. As I get older I do worry sometimes of \'losing my mind\'. It is happening to a brother in law, and it is not funny!
Just think, the worst thing that can happen to a writer, be he good or bad doesn\'t matter, as long as he considers himself a writer, is losing his mind. What is the alternative? Mindless TV?
I love your writing, and would love to have you join my circle of friends. I usually read all \'friend\' poems, and then, if I have time, I pick and choose from the general section. Sometimes I miss the ones I want to read.

I must have lost my mind and then.... well questioning every line of a draft idea until its..... is \'publishable\' a value statement or an excuse for my giving up? .... then there\'s mindfulness .... I\'ll stick to plumbing i think.

I am more and more beginning to appreciate short works and rarely write anything much longer these days. They can pack a punch and often leave the reader wanting more - like this great shortie.

Nicholas, while it may not take prowess or skill to write about oneself, you displayed both in your well written poem.
About the \"asked to be here\" lines. I think it all depends on what one believes. Some people believe that the soul asks to be born into a particular body in order to fulfill it\'s purpose, then after death of that body, to eventually return in another one to fulfill additional or other purposes.
But I guess we will never know that for certain.

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*.
