Greetings,
I found this using the Random Read and Review button.
A heartfelt existential question to all of us, which can be summed up as “have you ever truly lived?” It builds on itself with gentle repetition, leading us from the simple experiences of life to the more transcendental ones, reminding us that life is more than merely surviving or making a living.
I can say truthfully that I’ve done at least some of these things, as it relates to sitting quietly and considering the serious philosophical issues of life. My people skills aren’t the best, but I hope I’ve been a comfort to someone in my life. It reminds me of the Emily Dickinson poem, “if I can stop one heart from breaking, I shall not have lived in vain…” or something like that. I too, have written about this subject, in these song lyrics: "Pause"
The alternating indents help us to read it easily and not appear as a solid block of text. I always recommend Size 4 Verdana, but it’s optional.
This was a lovely little poem, brief but thought provoking.
