The Keeping and the Give The sway of loving continues on behind what seems so trite. The years and years of past reminds that tunnels end in light. That even though the wishes rest on pillowed thoughts at night, it's there, in spirit, hypnotized, words~~ to mind delight. I've grown in ways that none can see. The phantom gives me rise, witnessing the pitch of life before my very eyes. Inside it swells and flames my world inspiring soft within. I dance the dance of yesterday replacing what has been. I can't go back, the path has closed, my heart now freed to live and sway within the loving of the keeping and the give... M "Love is not blind - It sees more and not less, but because it sees more, it is willing to see less." |

Very well done I loved this poem. Why? Has a great message. Me personally I would not change anything in my past; though at times I wish I could, but i truly believe we are constantly being molded everyday. Life is a great learning experience. Glad im not being graded (; I can't go back, the path has closed, my heart now freed to live and sway within the loving of the keeping and the give... |

I so agree with our Raiders fan on this! I love the message in your words. My husband's grandfather always said - if you are too busy looking back, you won't know where you're going. Memories are lovely things ~ even the bad ones, if we learn from them and there lies the Keeping and The Give. Wonderful writing, talented one! And great title - it drew me right in!

Thank you for all your wonderful responses. I would have thanked you sooner, but this cough has returned to wear me out and thinking I had some time to recuperate after my long term teaching job ended Tuesday, I was wrong. They rehired me for the rest of the year as a second grade teacher so now I have to figure out how to stop catching those "kiddie" germs~~   and thanks againM |
