Posted by Kate Demeree on 09/17/03 at 03:19 AM I love the softly sad feeling that this brings to me when I read it... a pensive feeling. The last verse is superb. I can't remember when I have read something so simply honest.... |
Posted by Quentin S Clingerman on 09/18/03 at 08:51 PM Somber, melancholy, with a touch of hopefulness. Says to me, "one must take the time to see where I've been to know where I am going. And how to get there." |
Posted by Mara Meade on 09/18/03 at 10:18 PM Sigh... and I'd been hoping that all I had to do was click my heels together and say, "there's no place like home." This is a poignant reminder that things are often not simple to un-do or change. |
Posted by Max Bouillet on 09/18/03 at 10:32 PM Words are so easy to say and so difficult to reclaim. Excellent verse that speaks deeply to all those that have wished that at some key points in their life they were mute. |
Posted by Ashok Sharda on 09/19/03 at 06:03 PM 'unless we stop to read then
start to understand the signs.',The emphasis on unless we STOP ( to read) we cannot understand, speaks volumes. This speaks of the whole psychology of the self and the other stuck up in the labyrinth of the escape roots.
