There’s nothing wrong with the 16th of May for it did in the past birth a special resolve but wrapped it up in flesh and bone before sending it into the world. There it lived for a number of years with inklings of the absolute truth and a sense of all the mystery realms that intruded into the physical world. There were times when resolve was strong but settled back into weak states seeking there to be like the rest unknowing, unthinking, unfeeling. Its façade was broken one day, one day, but it held on for the lives of them and pushed against love with all its might like the drowning would look for air. So drowns now resolve that sought to be strong and with flesh and bone weakened by age it cannot now rise and be counted as one who bowed to the call. But not yet dead resolve still lives in a fantasy world of next time around seeking solace and comfort in an uncertainty in attempts to make everything right. Oh dear, oh dear, right won’t come again when wrong has ruled a lifetime! Helen / 16 May 2013 |

Tragic words you so aptly gave the reader this morning, Helen. This below says so much in such a few words . . . quote: ~*~ I'm reading a book about anti-gravity. I can't put it down. ~*~ |

Thank you, Jerry. Not too tragic as long as we don't let the wrongs rule for a whole lifetime. We're always given enough time to decide one way or the other. |

in attempts to make everything right. And those attempts are so admirable, dear Helen! But what if we decided to just relax in the awareness that every resolve has its reason to be and helps us to better understand all the mechanisms of our relationships and of our existence tout court? No one analyses deeper and better than you, dear Poetess. Love, Margherita "Love is the One who masters all things; |

Sometimes I wonder if we really know what is right and what is wrong. I feel that some just believe what others say without question and will have to return until they learn for themselves. You always write deep and true. Love that. Ida |

Hi Margherita. I do sometimes think there's a reason for everything but then again it's all really so unreasonable that I find myself having to think again and again. When it comes to me analyzing I think maybe, just maybe, there's a remembrance somewhere inside of how life used to be way back in a time that I can't remember and that's why I ... think - or maybe it's just the coffee.  Always enjoy your replies, dear Margherita. They bring a perspective that I know of but sometimes don't remember. Yes, this remembering thing is giving me grief in my old age. Love Helen |

Thanks Ida. Deep maybe but I don't know about the "true" bit. I suppose at the end of the day there's no right or wrong but rather just experiences that we may or may not laugh about. It really bugs me that I can't know the all of the all. Sigh! Helen |

Your poem took me back to a garden and to a tree that should not have been eaten from; Hmmm ... Resolve! Too bad we only got a bite! Enjoyed! |
