Dear David I really love this quote! I read it earlier and wanted to return to comment on it and here i am now! This one hits deep for me on so many levels and is a very creative take! The second line especially hits deep! As i cant find a reason and sometimes am left with no rhyme it can be depicted metaphorically too! Pleasure reading you! Congratulations on your placement! Sending you light always

Hey Ink! Thanks for stopping by today with light and wise words, I always try squeeze an extra layer of two into my work, we humans really are one off’s in the grand scheme of things, I truly marvel and despair at our intelligence and what we are doing or not doing with it, cheers David

It is me without a shadow of doubt Pangie, I can just about rhyme about mankind, but reason is beyond me most if not all the time, thanks for stopping by, hope you’re keeping well, cheers David
