Cool final line, will man ever rest. I wonder why haiku won't allow for punctuation because I think ! or ? do wonderfully!

James my friend, this is such a great Haiku ! For one; the majestic vision one finds in this write dear poet, and secondly; I am stuck on the, 5-7-5 rendering of Haiku's. For me, the 5-7-5's require me to find, genius. You have indulged me well sir ! Have a wonderful weekend....much love, james

As Robert Frost so well stated in his writing man can see the smallest things under a microscope and see the stars with a telescope but he paces back and forth like a caged bear..Very thought provoking work..Enjoyed reading this afternoon..Sara

I am right in the middle of this haiku mentally...I keep envisioning trying to absorb and see all that there is to see in my short lifetime...I too...will never rest. Wonderful poem. Gwendolen
