Pococurrante

Podzolic life, soulless, wandering aimlessly across the vast Earth, Seeking comfort in any form. Rest, ease, evades, love evades. Physical pleasures sought down every avenue traveled. No beautry can please your careless spirit. Wretched, wretched, misery blossoms upon my being, mercy evades. Wonder at the smiling faces, met on my journey. What magic possesses the alien? Kyrie eleison...

Kyrie eleison -- words we recited so many times in church without thinking of those who wander "aimlessly," seeking comfort in any form." Surely, love evades some of us. We can only pray that your enlightening poem helps open our eyes and promote more compassion for those who feel so alone. When we see others so happy, the question of what "magic" they possess usually arises.

Sad plight of the person here who can find no happiness or contentment. Keep writing. Mom

Very good poem and a little on the dark side as I like them. A person filled with self doubt and loathing comes to mind. Searching for a moment of comfort and happiness. A. W. Nutter www.freewebs.com/abcedit
