		<description><![CDATA[
What is man but an amass of conflictions &#8211; Conflictions of emotions, of being, of purpose.
To be a man &#8211; a human man is to be essentially alone.
Love transcends these barriers, but is itself like quicksand forever moving.

		<description><![CDATA[A Soft Rain,
Cleansing troubled soul,
A new beginning.
A lover a far,
A great empty chasm,
I miss her so much.

I wrote this way back in 2000 &#8211; when my now wife was living in Australia.

Five minutes later she came back &#8220;Dad, I&#8217;m older now&#8221;. You cannot fault the logic.
