‘tis neutral shades that rule the day like women who are known to be without, within, and round about the dictates of a mortal life. The colour swatch of passion, grief, awaits a willingness to be pushed and pulled and swung around the totem pole of happenings. There is no wish to ride the wave of wanting, needing, wishing for a better “this", a grander “that” and a love not meant to be. And neutral welcomes in the night to sleep within that state of mind but soon the dawn cancels all and colour is again the norm. Neutral prays, indeed it does, to stay within the colour wheel but in the field of all it feels to not be tainted by the world. The world, the world, the thief of love, and taker of essential grace, show your colours but desist from imbuing the unique!

This is one of those "I wish I could write like that" poems to me. You go some place in your poetry that is far beyond what I write. I appreciate that in you - and it makes me seek out your poems. Alison |

Thank you so much, Alison. I really do appreciate your kind comment and when I understand why it is and how it is that I "go some place" I'll be ... I actually don't know what I'll be except to perhaps be truly myself.  Helen |

Hi, Honey! It's one thing to write poetry and it's another to think in poetry. You manage to do both, quite nicely!    Linda |

Helen, this is uniquely you, in every sense of the word. Truth be told, I'm seeing what I want to see, that being the softer side of pastel. Hugs, you~ |

Thanks everyone! I'm now "livable" but "thinking in poetry" must wait for a bit - too busy listening to my youngest son writing songs - and then I cry because they're so ... "deep" (and him only 25). |
