Rust



Where do I belong
I know not
'm a mere pawn
In this game of life

I shuffle between wrong and right
The faces silent, their words mute
The time has come to say sorry
But no, I am strayed by my pride.

Unless you feel the fire
Burning in your bust
You cannot find the beauty
Hidden in the rust.

  6. Those last words lead to more understanding (not complete, because of our limitations) of the "meaning of life".
    Nicely written/said!
    PEACE!

  25. Ah, pride... it needs to be balanced with humility, but often isn't. This is a very nice response... those word whirls are far too hard for me!
