The anaphora \"waiting to die\" is indeed an inescapable reality; the possibilities between now and then are endless; one\'s choices critical - most especially in matters of the soul. One almost hears a silent line there at the end to \"choose wisely.\"

I had the first \'sand-cast\' CB-750 in late 1969. I kitted it out with
Paul Dunstall racing equipment (Fairing, Rear Sets, 4 into 2 exhaust)
I still have it, and it\'s in the back of the garage. I keep telling myself
I\'m going to restore it. It\'s just comforting to know that its still there.
That bike was with me for college, graduate school, and before marriage
and kids. The memories are still vivid.
Thanks, Fred

Kurt, never thought of death as a gamble, more of rigged game with a pre-determined outcome.
Stunning poem. I do like your work.

Sad piece of writing so well expressed - even though, like Fred, in my case love would be the reflection I see.

One thing about mirrors I\'m always curious of, is who\'s story is reflected back for us to see? The one we expect to see, or the one we want to see. Great poem.

Another great poem, Kurt. Reading it I can feel the pain, even though in my case, staring back would be \'love\'.

It will never be enough, I guess. Tomorrow does not exist, all grieving is for today.

The Beginning More Important....
Gary Edward Geraci said:
Your singular \"beginning\" parallels the singular creation event of our soul in the mind of God. The questions, feelings, and reasons - always in the plural during our mortal existence.

This is a brilliant piece, Kurt! \"The questions more insightful than the answers\" ... one of several of my favorite lines of all times!

Good post Kurt. Each line is so true, and to steal words from that whomever wrote it, \"from every ending is a new beginning.\" That is my favorite, but all of your points are right on!

Kurt, while reading the poem, before seeing your answer to Kevin, in my mind is saw this trickle in the Rockies become a brook, then a river, then a stream, finally emptying into the ocean (womb).
What is beautiful with a great poem like this one, is that each reader can perceive it in a different way, maybe based on the reader\'s past and imagination.
Great writing, as usual.

This was absolutely gorgeous. A poem that leaves you satisfied for hours after it\'s reading. I can feel the replenishment when you intertwine natural elements with yourself. \"And She welcomed my rapids, to baptize again\". What a beautiful gift to be passed down. An understanding of the power nature can have on us, even though humans try so hard to separate themselves. Thank you, this poem made my day.

First Poem: Aristotle said it, Einstein said it, and now you.... Well written, you are in good company!
Second Poem: So true! And I think both Aristotle and Einstein would agree.
