Time is full of questions that float whether or not answered because.. perhaps, there are too many unreconcilable answers blotting the observers' understanding?-emmajoygreen

God doesn't answer, Satish, as is the way. The person asks the questions, and the results give the answers, but the questions continue and we are always left guessing.
On and on they go, the questions, and where they end I am not sure. I've long reconciled that they may never end, but I ask them anyway.
Such is life, my friend. And I hope yours treats you kindly.-Ookpik

In Summer Fall

I cannot define your style. I can applaud it (and I do); I praise it, admire it, envy it at times, study it closely when I read your poems, and I let its verbal power wash over me like a great and refreshing seabreeze. But I cannot say what exactly it is. So if you have a name for it, or if it follows a particular pattern or school of verse styles, please tell me. But . . . more than anything else I might request here . . . please do not change it.-S74rw4rd
