The cut and run

It is a fearful thing to cut
something tall, alive and proud
and run into the hidden realms
to find that loving feeling
for no protection does exist
to safeguard vulnerability.

Yet there are the courageous, brave,
who know rewards await the chore
but still the cut remains undone
because somewhere in the middle brain
a blockage has been made to stay.

And that blockage in the soul’s channel
halts the message at its source
and causes many human beings
to live in ignorance
of the spirit of true love.

So dance alone in ignorance
if that is what you please
and maybe, just maybe,
through the two-step, waltz and jive
the blockage will dislodge itself
and you’ll know to cut and run!

I love ths stanza:
"And that blockage in the soul’s channel
halts the message at its source
and causes many human beings
to live in ignorance
of the spirit of true love."  very fine poem.

I prefer a good gavotte, it really shakes things up.

I agree with WindW11, but the last stanza wraps it up so well! What a joy this read was!

Dear Helen, I love how you succeed in presenting your deep reflections and wrap them too in joyful notes ... wow, waltz and jive!

Wonderfully expressed invitation to unblock ...

Love,
Margherita
