Tossing out the Old (Emotions)


I have been sad enough for two days now
So I gather my tears like packets of pearls
And cast them into the seas to wash upon the sands
Of faraway shores – drifting far from me

Deep cries splinter as they cleanse my soul
Perhaps its spring cleaning before Solstice
Forging space for new thoughts and dreams, a renewal
Opening new cleaner windows

To view a beautiful world

A poignant twist to a summer solstice poem.
Beautifully scribed, sweet poetess.

May the summer bring in new perspectives and many new memories in the making!

You have such a graceful pen. I always enjoy your poetry.

Happy summer hugs,

Linda

We all need to wipe away the old sometimes, make way for the new.  You did a wonderful job with this deeply meaningful poem.
