What's the use? I can fully connect to what Eric wrote below. I have felt this way as well but in better times we can fully appreciate what better times mean because we have experienced the not so good times. We can appreciate light because there is darkness (abscence of light) , we can appreciate warmth because there is cold (absence of heat) . So many of us fail to appreciate God, because God has not opposite, God is nver absent. Wow, Juan, what a very good and thought provoking poem.!

You might be a realist, but you have a touch of romance there as well. sad, but a lovely poem.

I really like the feeling going on in this one Juan! A bit esoteric, and even a tad mystical... and that IS great! Write on.

Oh so sad! But you have lived a fruitful life and made your mark in your children so that makes it a golden life! Lovely poem Juan!
