Janet, I enjoy the thrill of the philosophical which throbs through these recent works. Your present experiences must be a comprehensive learning curve.

Great theme.

Thanks for comments which are very much appreciated.

Isobel - I think each verse is about after-life in a sense. Life after the various stages in life where i believe we are all as children in a new experience :-)

Steve - I don't think it actually meets the criteria for a ghazal, though it did occur to me that with a bit of tweaking and more work it could become one. I'm working on a different project at present and this one as Isobel says was pulled out the bag :-)

Thanks to Bernie, Andy and Laura :-)

Love this Janet - like how you play with repetition and subtly change meaning

Well done you for pulling one out of the bag so quickly!

I like the way you manage to convey that life is a journey and the fact that none of us really 'grow up' - just move on.

I'm assuming the last verse is about after-life where we finally become connected to what is important and leave all the materialism behind.

I like it Janet! x
