this reminds me of focusing on a specific
subject matter especially when you are confused or
upset in someway
A quiet focus / or as I just heard about, "A quiet passion" a biopic about Emily Dickinson.
I recently watched part of a PBS American Experience
documentary regarding WWI where they tell of the poet Alan Seeger who was one of the first Americans to volunteer in the French Foreign Legion - they recite his
poem, "I have a rendezvous with death", which is quite beautiful.
There/'/s something in the sorrow/'/s, something in the
madness, something in all time, that repeats

Great poem once again Ming!

Peace!

Read it again...I have a habit of auto-clicking on anything /'/Ming/'/.

My second read brought to mind Rumi. I should think you know of who I speak. If not, you will want to.
