Really enjoying your writing :) I like the way your mind wanders! Especially liked the line about 'But it's a hell of a lot better than mugging myself in the alley of a dead end street'. Also liked moon's comment about sunshine people vs. 'dark' ones.. there's a side to me too that enjoys a good wallow in limbo.

Great! I like this a lot. Raised Catholic ---
seriously (once a pious) Catholic ~ Limbo yes, one of those places along with Purgatory that I often questioned in / of my faith. My daughter was just here for the past week...and we discussed LIMBO and Purgatory. Interesting ~ I like this writing ~ Elyse

John, I think this is very good, ... I loved it, very articulate and packed with truths. I loved "Show me this vision of what never was and what can never be" (Maybe because I am dealing with something like that in my mind now) . But truly, I loved this poem. Take care...

jfm...i've spent so much time in limbo, it's not a second home to me, it's my primary residence....to those who have only spent a little time here....they don't know the place at all....they never took the time to get comfortable....kick back....take their shoes off.....the sunshine people run from limbo....but a moon who is DARK....well, he's at home in such a place.....wonderful, wonderful piece....if "wonderful" is a word that one may use in limbo....Moon
