Inspired by (& after ) and a tribute to George Herbert's delightful form in his poem 'Heaven'

Where do I find a contented life? ECHO: WIFE Will marriage bring this to me ? ECHO: SEE Can two ever complement one? ECHO: DONE But do opposites cement,still? ECHO: WILL Aye,will it hold fast from above? ECHO: LOVE Here,there,where does agape hide? ECHO: INSIDE Ah yes,but how will it draw near? ECHO: HEAR Perhaps for me,too great a task! ECHO: ASK Yes,yes but how,what words to pray ECHO: SAY repost from 2010
