What was but is no more |

There’s mystery and deep intrigue within the forest of a need for from the roots an intertwine of what was but is no more. And from the trunk a branching out into the ether of pure light where mind is king and flesh the means of what was but is no more. From that there flutters in the breeze the fragments of the whole “I am” waving, calling, beckoning, the what was but is no more. So stands a tree or maybe me in the forest of a need but of a need from whence it comes or where it’s going to hidden in that deep intrigue of what was but is no more. What was but is no more still stands as my foundation but changes form, mutates and moves as mystery decrees it must to remain a mystery. And so of the intertwine of what was but is no more it’s just a plait of history wound around my head to keep the what was in its place and make the no more like a band that suffocates the past.

"wound around my head to keep the what was in its place and make the no more like a band that suffocates the past." Great lines here. A thought filled write. But to breathe and remember seems more appropriate than smothering the past. Enjoyed. Janette always seeking joy, adventure and romance and wishing you find the same |

Thanks, Janette. It's not possible to completely forget the past but it is possible to put it in its place and ... move on to a hairstyle more befitting one's present lifestyle! Helen |

And from the trunk a branching out into the ether of pure light ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That certainly sets the stage for a most compelling poem. You are such a deep thinker with so much heart and soul. Hugs, honey~ |

AC, Steaven, Ida and Bluesy - Thank you so much! Oh, and Bluesy, I guess I feel first and foremost and then have to write it to make sense of it. Sometimes the fingers know what I don't. Helen |
