Wondering

I wonder as I wait,
Wonder what the world is like.
The paradox of life still puzzles me -
Those living are sometimes more than dead,
Those dying are just beginning to live,
Those dead are sometimes more than living.

Hello WonderWoods

I probably won't do this justice as I have a headache severe enough to mar concentration. I enjoyed the paradox so much I thought for a moment that was the title.Good word choice (it must have been tempting to use more flowery language).

Hello Happy Chappy,
Thank you for the kind words. I hope you are feeling better now. Be careful. A friend of mine has been suffering from Lyme disease and he has experienced head aches and joint pain. Be mindful of your surroundings and take care of yourself.
