fdelano Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 When Life Comes At You It stuns near the end to discover every instant meant exactly what you took away that day when you finally realized that you must get over yourself to consider the effects of all your impulses and actions your choices changing everything forward adding to or detracting from the total a process that does not end until there are no more decisions left to you alone and you become subject to the choosing of others Quote
dcmarti1 Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Wow, Those last three lines are REALLY stark. But in the poetic, dramatic way. Certainly there is truth in them, they were just written powerfully. Quote
fdelano Posted April 20, 2013 Author Posted April 20, 2013 When I worked on this a few years ago, I realized that not being in control of myself was my biggest fear. You caught me, Marti. Quote
JoelJosol Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I agree with Marti. The last three lines convey a strong thought. Quote "Words are not things, and yet they are not non-things either." - Ann Lauterbach

David W. Parsley Posted June 2, 2013 Posted June 2, 2013 Piling on the last three lines, Paco. Wow. Thanks (I think), - Dave Quote
Tinker Posted June 7, 2013 Posted June 7, 2013 I kinda liked the whole thing. And especially "that you must get over yourself". Boy if all of us could do this, life would be so much easier.~~Tink Quote ~~ © ~~ Poems by Judi Van Gorder ~~ For permission to use this work you can write to [email protected]
