How do you know when it's time to let go To just get on with your life? Is it a feeling that grips your heart Leaving you filled with strife? How do you know when it's time to let go To say good-bye to the one that you love? Do you feel an intense inner need To set them free to fly with the doves? How do you know when it's time to let go To learn to live again? Do you sit down at your desk one day And just start making plans? Now I know when it's time to let go I see it so clearly now Today I prayed to God To give me the strength somehow Okay gang, can you guess which two of Passions poets wrote this piece??  |

Never experienced a duet in poetry before. I like it. I don't think one ever knows when to let go. Sometimes we think we do and realize it was a mistake, other times we don't let go and realize.. It was a mistake. Trials of life. Enjoyed the read. |

Lone Wolf and Jeff Carter, this poem is a dance for a duet. Seamless in presentation and form. I agree that letting go is hard  Write on Kethry Why do yesterdays remain and todays pass by ...unnoticed? Rex E. Alford |

Thank you all....Letting go of the ones we love when we don't want to is a very difficult task as we all know. I was faced with this very tough decision just recently and felt the need to right this verse. ***************************** I sit here on our front porch and see the dandelions growing tall Cluttering the landscape of our lawn It's no longer yours and mine like the ceiling, floor and these four walls Now it's only mine now that you're gone ***************************** Taking the road less traveled is always the toughest way to go but, at least in my life, it seems that is the only road left. I know I will one day be strong enough to look back over my life and the decisions that torture me everyday and I'll be able to say I made it through. For those of you whom are at a point in your life that you feel that you have nowhere left to turn, I want you to remember this.....One cannot live his life for tomorrow, nor can he live in the past, for one's life is only his to live in the present. |

I remember singing duets with myself when no one was around to listen and standing for the applause at the end. But, then, I don't remember a better time than this either. |

Great poem. . . but maybe next time you shouldn't use your first names if you want us to guess. . .  Great job. . . -------------------------------------------------------- That which gives light must endure burning --Victor Frankl |

I'd like to thank you all for taking the time to read and reply to the latest offering from Jeff and I. We appreciate your support of our work. A special thank you to Jeff for allowing me to write with him once again. It was an honor my friend. And as always, a ton of fun. Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

This is definetely a question that people shold ask themselves and answer as honestly as they can...especially to themselves and the ones they may need to let go of. Enjoyed this trip through the archives. A very good duet. "My ears have not yet drunk a hundred words |
