Nearly sounds like being born again Goldfinch! But I do like it a lot. Love the line \'What may be floating into my life\'. So many times something just comes to us without any effort and without looking for it.

Kestrel - Haiku.
FredPeyer said:
These birds are amazing, and so is your Haiku! Personally I am very fond of the Peregrine Falcon. It kills its prey by hitting it a high speed, then swoops around and catches it before it falls to the ground. An incredible deadly ballet in midair.

Thanks ANDY ~ in my experience A Question with an Answer cease to be a Question ~ the answer makes it obsolete and Google now has over 90% of the Answers which makes Education obsolete ! I am always looking for new questions like \"What is a Woman ?\" otherwise I would die of frustration ~ Thanks for querying ~ BRIAN Please check my new FUSION ~ thanks B.

I think your first two lines say it all; \"In this life you learn. As you learn you progress,\". What else is there ... why else would we be here? My take, anyhow. A fine, thought stimulating poem, Goldie.

We are back to the fear of the unknown. It is always the unknown that frightens us. I bet Harold was more fearful than you when he saw it coming!!

Good write G/F. A bit different angle - it\'s said that the fear of doing something can be worse than the fear we may have while actually doing it.
Erm, I was not fearful in 1066 to tell Harold to look up. Then my fear was worse after he did look up!

Good points raised about questions above me here. For me i am blessed with a faith which enables me to accept that all answers will not be available to me. There are greater things of which we have no understanding.

Perfection or not, like my own endeavors, there\'s a lot of joy in the journey. I sing because my heart does...even though it sounds like mating cats.

Great stuff and what does it matter if perfection is never obtained - its the sheer joy of it without worrying about others that counts, Keep singing G.

Point well taken in the last four lines ... food for thought! As an ex-choir member I relate to your poem and enjoyed it, Goldie.

Singing oh yes, such joy. I used to keep my voice in condition forever sucking on those foul tasting tiny liquorice and eucalyptus pellets which are marvelous for voice clarity. And whats the point of doing anything if you do not strive to do it well. To err is human. To say to your erring neighbor \'lets try that again\' is humane.

A fine write G/F. Makes sense. I suppose if all was perfect what would we do? For what would we aim?
Was you in the choir in 1066? I read that congregations didn\'t seem to sing a dicky-bird until about the 1500\'s, only the choirs!
