    Hello Dolly.
    I am touched by your words. You have captured the essence of my thoughts. I am at that stage of life when all I have is reflecting on the things that came close to having yet slipped out of my hands. Thanks for your encouraging comment and the ratings. With love,
    Arun

I liked the obscure vision in how you chose to write about " reasoning with yourself." I, too, have dialogue witthin, but my thoughts are so scattered most of the time, I forget my first thought! I love your choice of artwork!

    Hello Moon baby:
    Communicating with the 'Self' is a way to deal with reasoning with our alter ego. Thoughts are like water coming out of the faucets of a fountain. They come force and one has to learn to channel them with help of our subconscious mind. It took me years before I managed to do that. I am sure you will do that too. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and the ranking. All the best.
    Arun.

This is very introspective. Burdened by Absurdity would be the title of my autobiography.

Pictures matches your thrust like Donald matches duck.

I enjoyed this Master Poet. Keep up the great work!

    Douglas, I appreciate your comment very much and am humbled by the honor of Master Poet you have accorded to me. I would be interested in your Autobiography. Please visit my portfolio and read my poems in a book titled, "Random Reflections." I thank you very much.

    Thanks. Words come from somewhere deep, and soul is in a pensive mood. Mind records the events of battle between the subconscious and the alter ego.

This poem, Reasoning with the Self, seems to deal with the intense desire to still be relevant and seek new frontiers as the days move on and the probabilities grow fewer.
