"But what we want is to be together / We ache for the love we cannot find // Just a matter of when or whether / The blind will lead each other to be kind"

*Transcendental Sonnet #1268:* *We Lie Awake and Wonder* *This day so short this night so long* *We bob and weave and blunder* *Delay abort the fright so strong* *We lie awake and wonder* *Gainsay contort till right is wrong* *And are we going under* *Or getting over a nightmare?* *As we hope and grope and dope and cope* *And seek out the meaning everywhere* *We eke out the gleaning here and there* *But what we want is to be together* *We ache for the love we cannot find* *Just a matter of when or whether* *The blind will lead each other to be kind* *+Steven Curtis Lance* *Copyright MMV*

You, Steven, are a master word-weaver, painter of mind-pictures, feeder of heads! I read you twice, not only because I enjoy your work, but because I find the first read I get caught up in the rhythms and rhymes (a lovely experience, indeed) and must try to pace my self on Read II.

Life truths galore, 'been there' a natural reponse to this... but I think it's that infectious beat and marvelous rhyme that makes you linger for me. Good stuff! katy xox.

I like the last line and the sage words of advice.
