My own Ramblings in response to my friend F.i.in.e Moods 'Rambling 90'... Whose poems always move me deeply and set me thinking, disturb me... and whom I am missing today, terribly!
Where are you, my friend?


To be, or not to be?



Life becomes a riddle,
When things refuse to move on
as one would like them to;
as one would hope they would...

The mind keeps swirling down and down,
struggling with what ought to be-
as the world thinks-
and what the heart whispers should...

The mind then feels caged into its own prison of thoughts
And struggles to escape-free...
But, can't!

And then you feel desperate to
Do something;
Anything!
To end this agony!!
Some how to find a solution,
Still you can't!!

Living then becomes a big question mark?

'To be, or not to be?'
The soul asks...

I miss her thoughts in word too Zoya, this is a fine expression of your souls fight to be or not to be, such a question, we generally steer clear of, well i do, I just live in the now and leave the questions to resolve themselves

No sense dwelling
On the past
Live in the now
Or the future will
Pass us by
within the blink
Of our swellen
Blacked eye.

I thoroughly enjoyed your muse in shakespeares minds eye.

Smiling at you

In the midst of life, we are in death indeed. So sad when life reaches such sad depths...well described.
