    Just There

     I look at the days
    Through a misty haze
    There's fog all around me
    It's a wall I can't break

    It's not a matter of strength
    It's a matter of will
    And what I've interpreted from craze
    Is that it just goes uphill

    Now, I'm clutching my head
    I'm begging, begging
    I listen to what's heard,
    not what is said

    I stare at the weeks
    As they pass through my fingers
    but, no, I can't weep
    I'll crush what's left in ashes

    So, I stick to myself, my will
    Who is nothing at all
    But just a moving figure
    Living, breathing, just lingering

    Wiping away, tearing away
    Any feelings you might still savor
    But every day, like every day
    Is just another labor

    It's not a matter of strength It's a matter of will And what I've interpreted from craze Is that it just goes uphill... this is true! I listen to what's heard, not what is said... we often do. Great choice of words!

    When power leads man towards arrogance, poetry reminds him of his limitations. When power narrows the area of man's concern, poetry reminds him of the richness and diversity of existence. When power corrupts, poetry cleanses.

    John F. Kennedy (1917-1963) Thirty-fifth President of the USA
