I enjoyed your comments, Joe. yes, the world is a very strange place compared to even 50 years ago! I guess a lot of things do not change though. Just think of the horrible wars we had before 1950. Maybe people have always been as greedy as they are now? I just don't know.

but the pyramids try... endeavour

This is a mind probe, Joe. We can wish though for things to alway be, but as you say "Nothing ''is'' forever..!" Memories just don't cut some realities.:( Best wishes, Love, Mikki

Hi, Joe... Im so happy you tell it like it is.... everything is what it is.. How about only if... If is big... I like all the illusions Is can be... Something like...like splat... Only is.. Flat outlined.. No if ands and but's about it...love pd

I hear ya, Joe. In this expanding universe, that furthest galaxy is a gonna expand clear out of imagination one of these years. I guess that makes that furthest galaxy "nothing," eh. You blew my mind with this one, Joe. Love, daver

HI, Joe!!! (again, haha)

hi, my friend. Revisiting this very small poem of yours. (but small only in size!!!)

Joe, i'm silently clapping here. brilliant.

cept pyramids but i aint clever ......yes it all fades:(

Very deep thought here my friend. I Am, I Is , I was. Great job. God |Bless, JB

WoW! Such hard hitting verse with such few words. Excellent . Good job. God Bless and Merry Christmas, JB

cept poets like you an me through eternity, ALL TIME

You are so right Joe . My husband died on nov.17th , wish that was had lasted forever .

You hit it right on the nose. However I believe that many people don't see it that way. Thank you for your kind words. Harold Swiss was an intresting writer who wrote "Out of Eldridge Street" and "Ebb and Flow" - his biography in two volumes. His sermons were a little too long but he was an important figure - that is what I think, anyway. Peace & Blessings Matthew Anish

This seems to be an acceptance and a denial all at the same time. Depends on one's perspective. Love, daver

Hello Joe, This is so you, I love it as for me, I am learning just what you have written here. Doing better, will read more of your wonderful poems this evening. Thank you for sharing.. As Always, Shar

For sure, all around us, the news, the weather, our earth, all is change, some good, a lot bad from my perspective. Short, sweet and right on my friend!

LIterally this is true, Joe. Since nothing means nothing. how can it exist and last forever? If I dwell on that thought too long, I might drive myself nuts. haha. (I'm not the philosophical sort)

Ooops. Mentioned Johnny twice. The fourth verse was done by Waylon Jennings. I listen to it over and over again. Something hauntingly beautiful about it.

This topid has been on my mind a lot lately, Joe. Matter can be changed and not destroyed. Perhaps Johnny Cash said it best with "I may only be a single drop of rain; but I'll be back again." The song "Highwayman" by Cash, Willie Nelson, Kris Kristoffersen and Johnny (on youtube) gets me thinking just as your poem did. Hope you are enjoying a nice weekend! Love, Carolyn

Oie, "Nothing "is" Forever", Joe, it would be as dull a life, as in the movie, "Groundhog Day". Invariable situations can be altered if one chooses to make concessions. Been there Joe; the most damaging part can come from the so called well wishers.:( Oh, we need support but should be wary of control. Best to you all! Love, Mikki

Another one that I am not sure that I understand...If only doesn't get it does it..Yes, all things do come to an end except for God's love..It is a forever thing..Thanks for the kind review of me and my work..Sara
