Very though provoking write Nicholas, my Faith in the Church is questionable at the moment but my Faith in God is unchallenged, to me it is religion that is the problem no God, \"My Spirit.\"

Sylvia refers to faith\' truth, righteousness and evil - I too was minded towards these by your words with the exception of faith. Since it has no meaning in my world in respect of religious beliefs it not something which I pick up on. Getting back to the poem it was certainly thought provoking which is the sign of a good write.

Clever last line to end this beguiling write Nick - your pen achieves much with any subject or theme and sacrifice can mean all this and more.

Nicholas,

I liked reading your poem and your author comments! I don’t know how old you are, but you are very wise! This world needs more people like you in it! It would be a more tolerable and better place!

‘Pulp Fiction’ is definitely a quotable movie! The only reason why I saw that movie was because I was an invited guest at its debut thanks to John Travolta!

Thought provoking... though I have to admit it made me head hurt a little as is always the case with the unknown and unfathomable

A fine write Nicholas, though I don\'t go along with some of the things in this myself.
Meanwhile - I never knew ya was that old? You older than me, seeing Babel and all that?!
Well, I\'m scared to go to an Antiques Show in case they think I\'m an exhibit and keep me there.

A Life in Grey
MendedFences27 said:

Life , death, the Earth, and Mankind, all intertwine in as many ways as their are people. Each perceives reality in a unique way. Some of us dare to write about it.
A beautifully worded tour through town and mind. Enjoyed your penultimate stanza the most. \"Like ashes the wind had blown.\" - Phil A.

Fantastic imagery in this walk through a peopled town - - your pen queries the whys and yet writes so bravely of life and death\'s mysteries. Well done again Nick.

What a well written piece of a walk through human land.
It surely never made much sense to me.
It has taken me about now to give up hope on finding sense though.

A fine write Nicholas. Our town is busy. Though this reminds me of a woodland walk. A wood which is tended though, by conservation folk.

Embracing your fright is the way to dispense with demons - good thought Nick - loved the number too.

Brilliant. Whenever we approach the unknown and overcome our fright we learn and move forward.

orchidee said:

A fine write Nicholas. \'He/She who sups with the devil should use a long spoon\', said by someone or other in late 14th Century, I read. Maybe said by me. I\'m millions of years old, so I could have said it back then. lol.

How Else Would We Know?
MendedFences27 said:

Finding the right words aye, that\'s the rub. Is it art, if I change \"is\" to \"was\".?
Do poems fall from trees? Or must a man intercede? Are there such things as poets who can not spell, witches who cannot brew, Seers who can\'t foretell, or artists who won\'t tattoo. It\'s all about the words. Loved this one.- Phil A.

A good way to attract the Muse is quietly sit and wait for those \"words unfound\" - - an inspired write Nick.

sylviasearcher said:

You mustered something poignant and indeed your words paint a picture on the canvas of the mind. Another ache though. Like I was reaching out for something that had no form or shape and no one else could see. But still I sat and pondered it though it evaded my capture. And still I wanted to sense it. Knowing I never could.

Art can bring words to us all.

My very first poem was written because the way a piece of artwork affected me.

Well your job was done because I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

In fact it’s a favourite.

Kind of romantic yet ‘broken’.
Gentle as a lullaby yet written like a eulogy.
