| I wrote this in a time of wondering why I'm not satisfied with "normality" in a time when I was dissapointed in life and couldn't get myself out of those disgusting doldrums we sometimes face that leave us wanting something else. Why go to those places? The light is different there If it’s too dark If it’s too light No one knows It doesn’t matter Why go to those places? Why do we seek those places? The light is different there Even if it’s light Even if it’s dark It matters most of all So we go In those places we see. We see lightness Darkness Shades of gray. Unlikely shades of time Spoken from eternity For some reason We go to those places For Eternity is our heritage and we must nuture our souls with adventure. |

I agree with Donajhi. I guess there are a myriad of answers to where "these places" really are, depending on the person. Personally, I am even now looking for something new. so it kinda fits. nice work  |

| TandVh..a very nice poem and truly from the heart. I would have liked it to be a little longer. If you ever have a new version of it..post it and let us see. I re-write my poems all the time. Seems like after I read them years later I have a slightly different thought on things, and feel I have to modify the poem! I try not to change too much though, of course. As well, I have many times tortured myself over why I can't except normalcy. Years later I still do not except it and continue to look for more. |

You're quite right- I wrote a poem about Lilith (adams first wife) in colledge- 30 years later, I added to it considerably and was able to better convey what I originaly wanted to 30 years prior! I'll try to find it........... |
