" The mystery of life

 is not a problem

 to be solved

but a reality

 to be experienced. "

 Art Van Der Leeuw

 " And it shall come to pass,

 when I bring a cloud 

over the earth,

that the bow shall be seen

 in the cloud; "

 Genesis 9:14

" The soul of sweet delight, 

can never be defiled. "

William Blake

" Inside my empty bottle 

I was constructing a lighthouse

 while all the others 

were making ships.  "

A Period is basic.

And simple.

The end of one

idea.

The Question Mark

meanders around

before it finds it's way

down

to the root of things,

where it balances

on a ball-

like a seal-

And claps.

Exclamation Point:

when you throw a can of paint

across mother's floor,

it makes a shocking line

that points right

to the thrower:

you!

The look on mother's face

is the meaning

of the exclamation

point.

And she may point

 also.

Comma,

catch a breath.

And a Semi-Colon

is a comma

with a graduate degree.

This is the deep truth

that  I understand 

of these

 "marks."

The rules of grammar

 were written

to try and explain

the greatness

in the speech

 of talented people.

But it always gets away

from the rules-types

like lightening escapes

the jar they try to put it in.

'Exception that proves the rule'

my elbo!

I always understood

that I had that spark.

Like brown hair. 

Spoke and wrote

beautifully

just knowing

what would sound

and say it

best.

So I never bothered  

with the rules,

and still do not know them

today.

I am a writer

not a grammarian.

Aren't YOU

glad?!
