So much said in so few words. Well penned. May the loss conveyed not be yours.

Sadness to joy, Man still has a chance for ethereal bliss. A few yet profound lines Gershon! I hope my interpretation is somewhat in line with what the poem evokes. Cheers...ab

Oh my, so much in this short verse! I hope you have not recently lost a son, G.W., but my condolences if you are writing of your own experience. The lines are a very well-composed rubai.

Nope. Lucky me. Haven't lost a son. -- Only lost my mind. Just kidding there, (I think). :) gw
