A song of blues

Song #56



Amid the fading slumber of the night
Sits I, wondering whether my presence
Is simply a figment of my own imagination.

Beyond my semantic portraits and
Textual still-lifes, I ponder:
What is the point of the "art" I create?

Would my mirror image consist of flesh,
Or am I nothing but a run-on sentence
That forgot what I was thinking?

There are few things worse in life than
Devolving from a concrete paragraph to
An incoherent turn of phrase.

(((Robert))),

What is the purpose of the art you create? You are a writer; you must write. Might not like it, but you do it anyway, because you have to, incoherant or not. :) I like what you have to say, very much. :)

Poignancy in your verse today...excellent thought provoker!

(((HUGS))) and love, and *kotc*, Karla.
