DAMN! i just lost my comment while looking up humdrum! ! to repeat: i especially liked tears/spheres. this reminds me of the whining my stepdaughter sometimes does over the phone due to having 'lost' her love [they broke up, multiple times], and her lack of 'joy' in life. why can't people be more like me? ? i'm (sort of) content with my humdrum life. oh yeah; people don't want to live a humdrum life like i have. : ( the last two lines puzzle me a bit. the fire? robe and sandals? did you just get out of bed? ? i'm glad you didn't write...with all my Briefs. one must not give up the underwear. this shall be your second poem put in my February A Showcase For PH Poets, on my site. thanks for sharing. i chose it because it is close enough to 12 lines or less [your first poem was longer, and this month i'm being picky and limiting the length of the 2nd poem on display from each participating poet.]. bri :)

Well written Lora. It was the Fire reference that drew me in. (I used to be a fireman :)) But it was the pathos which bade me stay to the end. A lovely plea from the heart.

Excellent Lora. One could read more into this than perhaps is meant.

Good poem, though I hope it is not based on personal experience. The last verse is excellent.

But my pilgrimage is almost over, For my hunger and thirst - no relief! there's always the feeling that time is almost gone and so little has been seen yet.
