From time to time during our life we find ourselves in the Great Unknown. It’s possibly similar to the proverbial situation when things are moving very fast. I do feel like they are moving very fast for me, even though I am actually taking time. I am sure I have been here before, but it was this year that I wrote the poem about the “experience”, and I dedicate it to all of us who are going, or have ever gone, through this stage.
The rock of life is overthrown,
All novel streams are flooding in.
I’m now in the Great Unknown:
No peace without or within.
I’ve almost shedded all illusions,
Like autumn leaves in winter winds.
Oh, happy thoughts and sad conclusions!
Whatever may the future bring,
I’m now in the Great Unknown,
But there is no better place
To be for someone, so prone
To change their voice, and name, and place.
Oh dear stranger, don’t be jealous!
But if you’re strong in heart and faith,
Do follow us, the reckless fellows,
The Great Unknown’s almighty race!

I had a thought.. you know how some Pubs used to have poetry readings? Yes.. and you know how great your passion shows thru when you sing Heartache.. use your passion in your voice to do your poetry as audio mp3's.. just a thought…
You are right, and I have been doing this already… but then MySpace has bought Imeem, so it is a problem of a music player at the moment. The one at FileFactory is a bit cumbersome to create, I'd love something sleek.
