You relly knew how to show and reach your feelings to us. I loved your writing so much. You know!! when I read your writing I remembered the song fo Cradle of filth(the Band) which its name ''Bathory Aria''. I can cry when I read this phrase:


most are nameless, faceless, forms that
care not for me, as I care not for them.​


I say the same when I be lonely and every now and then some sound in my ears says NO it's not.
I know my comment is a bit strange but I sill bag of contradictions about people and faith.
Thank you for this great feelings.

You really know how to show and reach out to us with your feelings . I loved your writing so much. You know!! when I read your writing I remembered the song by Cradle of filth(the Band) which has the name ''Bathory Aria''. I can cry when I read this phrase:

most are nameless, faceless, forms that
care not for me, as I care not for them.


I say the same when I am lonely. Every now and then some sound in my ears says, "NO, it's not(true)".
I know my comment is a bit strange but I (sill bag??) of contradictions about people and faith.
Thank you for this great feelings.

Thanks for your reaction to this poem. It is one of my favourites. It didn't take me very long to write. Each verse was written in about 30 minutes...one verse per day. As a story behind its creation, I was sort of writing in a contest with another person from western Canada. We imagined that we were traveling across the country...me from West to East and she from East to West. Then we met in the middle of the country.

I never met this person but it was fun writing and expressing our thoughts this way.

If you have any question on the content or meaning...first take a guess at what you think it means (reading comprehension:-D) then ask me if your interpretation is good....(there is no right/wrong answer when reading poetry in my opinion.)

That's definitely gorgeous. I hadn't thought that I would read it all, it seemed quite long. But, as I started reading it, I reached the en dof it before I knew. Showing how life might look like at the first verse. is extremely wonderful. It is right that life could be as depressing, but everybody has something withen themselves keeps them moving on.

Hahaha...your comment on this poem is very common. Many people think this way when they start reading it. They get hooked by the first verse and read the next...then next and before they know it the poem has ended.

That is what you want to do when you write a poem or a story. You want to lead them into the plot, bit by bit until they must finish it:)

So nice of you. And as the way you described people, I think you're so right. That's one will beloved by people,not all of them I must say, as long as he or she serve them. Otherwise, you will be completely forgotten, not taken care of and left out.

The search for a soulmate is endless for some. For others they discover their perfect partner early and live happily ever after. I have known both types of people...I am closer to the endless searcher, myself {sigh}

It is quite a difficult task. One has to be thankful if they find the perfect partner. As your searching, luck is what I could wish you.
