Question-Answer

We are given in totality,
surfing the waves in merriment
simply planning for more.
Up and over the top we go
and it is then the vortices appear.
If we could care less, we would,
for we are young and care
quite readily...

Ah but the vortex, you say?
It sees to depend upon
the place you make for negatives.
Since we cannot do much
about inevitables,
we must climb.
Shall we lead?
Shall we laugh?
Shall we despair?
We have all this totality, here.

This is how to handle totality.
See. Quite forever.

I consider you a must read around here. I get weighed down with life, but I always come back to you! x

I know you do, and I appreciate it---but this one is crap

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

Second stanza, second line: "It sees to depend upon..." It see(m)s perhaps?

I'm always saying that "we are stronger than we know," meaning, until the moment arises, we never know how strong we are; but we always find the inner strength to overcome. We are innately designed to rise to the occasion no matter what that occasion may be. We often do not give ourselves the credit that we deserve, however, and it takes such moments to evolve into the person that we always had the possibility of becoming. "We are given in totality," completely capable of being all that we want to be. For such have we been designed.

Your words are like wind. They lift and surround and speak volumes beyond capturing.

You are too kind, my dear. No, like the others, that line catches you, but it says something quite different.

But, no worry, the poem is crap

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

I would consider those words blasphemy! Nothing you write is crap. :-)
