my mind echoes with the tones of lost remembrance and resonates all along the sharp notes of reality my heart holds the secrets from the truth of yesterday and searches uselessly in the hide-and-seek future my strength swallows the pain of finding my own way and flourishes on the journey from here to there my hope waves intimately from the elusive tomorrow and beckons me to chance the winds of change my love trembles on the taut bow of endless possibility and hovers in the honed moments of silent pause . flesh, blood, bone, love...twisted ~ L. Hall |

This is a great poem Berney, both in content and structure. My fav. line "my strength swallows the pain of finding my own way and flourishes on the journey from here to there" Your poetic muscle is flourishing. Yoin |

Even in pause, you appear very in touch with the natural order from past to future to the being in the moment of now. Nice reflections mixed with a warm setting |

hi there, I like the way the second line of each segment affirms who you are and how you choose to see things. this is an easy thing to forget...and something some never learn. nicely penned. zaac I kept wondering why that frisbee kept getting bigger and bigger....and then it hit me. |

Shove, Love. Move over so I can join you in that "Pause". There is a whole lotta "mind", "heart", "strength", "hope" and love in there! "my love trembles on the taut bow of endless possibility and hovers in the honed moments of silent pause" ~ What a writer!!! Giving you an extra, loving sol sistah hug, Linda   |

"my mind echoes with the tones of lost remembrance" even your opening line is beautiful, Shellie. M |

As an addict in recovery this touched me deeply, especially these lines... "my heart holds the secrets from the truth of yesterday and searches uselessly in the hide-and-seek future my strength swallows the pain of finding my own way and flourishes on the journey from here to there" ....we (addicts) learn that no one knows what the future holds, that we can only take one day at a time and take solice in the fact that we grow stronger each day. Do you mind if I print this out and post it on my office wall? ... it truly is an inspiring read for me. |
