Description I feel elated- isolated
Wandering calmly through mysterious
Caverns dark, identity anonymous
Fumbling about entirely blindly
But still content with slow wandering
In perfectly still and dead tunnels.

An echo of footsteps tunnels
Its way into the isolated
Depths of my ear, the sound wandering
About the caverns, source mysterious
And the waves rush about wildly and blindly
Leaving my silent self anonymous.

But soft!  This sound is not anonymous-
There is another source within these tunnels!
Another, perhaps, fumbling blindly
In search of his own personal isolated
Peace?  Damn you, mysterious
Trespasser- bother me not with your wandering

Interrupting the other wandering
Of my very soul!  Keep yourself anonymous
To my ears, your existence mysterious.
These are my tunnels!
I cannot be isolated
With you blindly

Fumbling down passages, blindly
Tripping and tumbling, blindly wandering
And defiling these sacred isolated
Halls!  My idol is anonymous;
I am but his image.  These tunnels
Are not yours nor mine- the mysterious

Owner has never shown his mysterious
Face!  I must blindly
Worship him, tending tunnels
With an iron grip, hunting wandering
Fools that believe their anonymous
State makes them, too, isolated.

Either withdraw your unholy feet from these tunnels, wandering
Man, or too join the mysterious cult of the isolated.
Get out, or blindly follow the hunting anonymous.

sensing some animosity against God/religion or who knows what bothers you.
on the other hand...there are so many ppl going against something they say it doesn't exist, so ...why fight with voices and invisible enemies ?

Thank you The sestina is a fun structure, and a lot less restricting than I originally thought.

This is an exceptionally well done sestina form! I'm assuming this was an assignment? Or are you surprising me again with your skills of learning something just because you want to, in your free time. Uhhh... I'm retracting that, I know better than to know that you have free time.

Again, great job!

I miss chatting with you. Will you update your journal so that I can at least know what's going on in your life, please? Something exciting has got to be going on over there in the world of Deerfield. ~Deb

Guild Wars eats my free time for dinner. And no, nothing is really going on at all--certainly nothing exciting. Oh, except that Sunday night I saw Jethro Tull in concert.

You are still stuck on Guild Wars? Wow... I'm finally unstuck from Y!PP. That was sucking the life out of me but I'm FREEEEEEEE! Yay for Jethro Tull! ! Did you go with Ariel and others? I'd ask if you had a blast but I already know the answer.

Have you discovered any new music lately that I would enjoy? I need a music fix real bad. *shakes* Oh, I'm sending you a note for a request, so look for it. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving, Greg, and I hope to catch up with you on news of life, the universe and everything soon! You know why? 'Cause I miss teh red-headed smartass, that's why! ~Deb

P.S. You didn't answer my questions, Mr. E. Vader.
