Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Hovering

some have delved
in the meaning of life
others
in the meaning of death

but what of
the meaning of limbo
that hovering
between
life and death

that state of
suspension
between
the two worlds

not ready to enter
not ready to leave
~ hovering

BORING! No one likes endlessly hanging around. At least those in the queue for the women's loo have a purpose! Aloha! Rico

LOL ~ thanks for your visit and comment, Rico. I'm hoping you meant 'limbo' was boring ~ but how can a poem about limbo NOT be boring. Anything, let's leave the whole subject hazy. lol
