Poetry of glenn: The Soliloquy, 7.27.95-2

Our last installment for February takes us back to July of 1995, and a look into the thought process of writing a soliloquy.  It may have been in the last edition of Annotations of Life.

"The Soliloquy"

such medicine it is,
 the debating of thoughts
several in a short time
   finding your way
 within yourself

  in the mind
    where all inhibitions
       are forsaken,
   heated discussions
   of tormenting thoughts
  of dilemmas, quandries
        and love

where else
    is such a playing ground
  so fertile,
 so fresh
that all can be game

  Resolutions
of thought, of mind
usually are the result,
    but, rarer still,
are the deepest bowels of despair
    that push some shakespearian men
 over the edge to death

 Overall, the soothing
  cannot be denied --
the renewed mental state --
 and strength to face the world.
