growing old from the standpoint of moi means what exactly I've lived life on the tilt daring myself stepping across the line breathing uncontaminated air not the staleness of status quo air which was mine alone to consume danced on the edge sometimes falling off getting back up with a laugh strutting on down the boulevard snapping fingers cool, yes indeed, way too cool visited various beds never took any of them all that seriously uh, yeah, there was that one but the idiot that I was only took it serious after it was gone forever I'm still paying for my folly each and every day and will until the day I die I'd found a rose among a field of bitter weeds God help me I failed to understand I'm so very sorry, Nanette so! here I am spending my days remembering my free-styling ways shaking my head at things I've done not to worry I'm okay with everything by that I mean I've forgiven myself no longer let the past rule every waking moment of course forgiving and remembering are two distance cousins for to be completely blunt and blunt is what I have often been accused of being damnit there are some things you just can't forgive yourself for but I've done my best ©February 15, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ [This message has been edited by JerryPat2 (02-17-2017 02:55 PM).] |

You are a very nice man, Bluesy, and that comes out when you take on a poem with you comments. You are a very fair minded reviewer, and for that I thank you sincerely. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

a thoughtful 'write!' "Forgiving life" ... and breaking the chains of the past is likely the greatest challenge of all ?! The 'past' is irrevocable ... the 'future' as yet powerless to be born ... we have only the grand-scintillating 'now' of infinite positive potential in which to paint this world in bright-delicious colors ! |

Don't make this a confession of "conclusion", Jerry. But first we owe it to ourselves to forgive oneself first, then we can find peace in all the turmoil around us. Life is just a moving on undertaking, and you may not be aware of it, there are a lot of others keeping step with you on the road. |

I quite understand you, jjote. It's just, at times like now, it is just very difficult to deal with. Thank you for you words of concern. ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |
