Comment from Mary Vigasin
A very reflective and poignant poem with great imagery and rhyme. Our faith is our foundation and salvation. Those who pursue ill-gotten gains or get rich schemes may do so at the cost of their souls.
Beautifully written Roy.

Comment from zanya
Yes, this poem is contemplative in tone with a depth and profundity of thought on the 'big issues' of our earthly life - quality of language and expression enhance the theme..' futile dreams wrack earth-bound man.'

Comment from Janice Canerdy
Your poem is an expressive blend of literal and figurative language. Yes, exploring the world in search of the exciting and unfamiliar cannot compare in glory to knowing the Lord. (Did I miss this one by a mile?)

Comment from Pam (respa)
-Good artwork and
presentation, Roy.
-Your notes are appreciated.
-You wrote a very good poem
with many effective images
showing your perspective
on various thoughts you have.
-The title and its repetition
in the poem is very good.
-One of the images I
like is about the ghost ships.
-You make a good point
about "futile dreams" and
end with a very good concluding verse."
-Have a great day!

"A wand'ring wail", is an extremely well-written and delightfully descriptive piece. Penned with craft and skill. This talented poet's work was a pleasure to both read and review. I look forward to seeing your next post.

Comment from Begin Again
As the days get darker and things go from bad to worse, I cling to my faith like a security blanket. I know the Lord is keeping me strong for my family and leading me down these horrible paths, listening to my prayers. I may not understand how this will end in happiness and joy, but I still follow his lead. It's beyond painful to see so many in my family lost and suffering.

Comment from Raffaelina Lowcock
Roy, you are definitely choosing the right path. I love how your mirror the feelings about father and child in your author's notes. Then the notation about 'order out of chaos.' It is such a mystery to me that any well-reasoned person cannot see what is so blatantly obvious. Well done.

While reading your poem I felt a prolonged cry orsound expressing grief or pain. Here is where I felt your wailing the most
I try to reach beyond dust's thought,
to understand why I'm blood-bought.
This mind was meant to dwell on grace,
not finding fault with frailty's pace.
My what a wonderful way to end your poem---
One may as well chase endless schemes,
where death in silent darkness beams.
I'll serve my Lord where servants kneel
where hope's secure in truth's bright seal.

I needed a good Roy dose today. Thank you for giving it to me. When I post tomorrow, I'll give a short reason why? I'm struggling typing so I won't go into detail. Thank you for being you,
