Ah, I guess it boils down to, can we see infinity in a grain of sand, or see a universe gathered in an atom, it means that size means nothing, and existence means creation, I'm grateful that God has introduced to something beyond my dreams schemes, but really compared to what He knows I.know nothing, and yet we're everything to God, just one small, insignificant image, that is amazing, I don't know if I'll leave anything, but I leave my stamp, we all do, man may forget, but God won't. Beautifully written, you are a ponderer, blessings Roy

Comment from juliaSjames
This thoughtful well composed write is exceptional in my view. As I read a memory surfaced of my beloved cat, Oliver, born across the seas in Brazil where he was able to roam free and ending his life as an indoor cat in Virginia. He would sit on the windowsill for hours. Yet he seemed content enough with his life, or perhaps resigned is the better word.
Although your poem stands on its own merits, its theme reminds me of the classic work by T. S. Eliot, "The Lovesong of J. Alfred Prufrock" .
Thank you for sharing your talent, Estory
Blessings, Julia

Comment from Pam Lonsdale
I'm not sure what you had in mind when you wrote this, but the "we" I read about belongs to those who don't live. They watch out their windows, but never join in, never make friends, never travel, never go out for a walk to find themselves in a neighborhood other than their own. Every day they might say, "Tomorrow I'll go out," but they never do.
And then their life has passed them by.
At least that's what I read, and I appreciated it as such:-)

Thanks for the excellent review and your perspective on the poem. Loneliness and fractured society is a big theme in my work. I think many people live their lives today isolated by social media, disconnected and in their own little world, so to speak. I have neighbors I never see. estory

Comment from Neonewman
You are not alone, many of us out here feel the same. I get lost in the stories I write, it takes me out of this world for a little while. Most of my stories are macabre, but this is the genre I enjoy. Stephen King is a big influence, and I've read everything he has published.
Thank you for sharing your talent.
God bless,
Steve

This was a very nice poem! It captured the scene very well, and the words were well chosen! I notice that there is no specific rhyme scheme, but it works well without one. Well done!

Thanks for the excellent review and your words of support for the poem. I would consider this free verse, I guess, or blank verse. It is very much in the ode sort of style. estory
Comment from barbara.wilkey
Life does sometimes seem useless. Especially when we've lost a loved one. I do believe that each of us has a purpose. God will guide us to this purpose and walk the journey with us. We need to allow Him to do that. Sometimes that's really hard. We've all been in those bad places at times. Thank you for sharing.
