With today’s war-drenched headlines, it’s easy to identify with what the media labels conflict. But what about our own personal battles? Those often disappointing efforts to exist with dignity. At times, it seems so simple…this addressing of the conundrum existentialists deemed unsolvable…the meaning of life. (Image by Galducci)

Tears Ever of War
by Odin Roark
What is this creeping quietness of eruption,
this stifled resonance of tremors below,
seeping from glistening ducts its sterile cries,
littering the face of self-loathing guilt,
with the quiet pain seeking freedom
to be that which it longs to be… calming peace?
It is not a thing, this focus.
It is what living is truly all about,
the oft time grasp to just-plain-meet-and-know-life,
before it’s too late.
So…
When?
Thanks for sharing. D
