A Vain Season Is Coming

The day we found out Our lives were like a moving novel Constantly weaving in and out the threads of our years. Sometimes when the night closes its windows, I stumble across you when you are full of laughter and revenge, oh my God you say Because nothing that resembles our lords creatures is afraid of you. I pray the rosarys like you scim through scriptures, looking for that other sign Beside the ones I've found already. Could it be? We search to much.

Yes, I do believe sometimes we "search too much," becoming so introspective we cannot find the joy in life. Well done, Derrick! Love, Carolyn

Very thought provoking, Derrick. And, yes, I do believe we spend too much time searching. Sometimes when we think we'll find answers, we find only more questions. Excellent poem!
