Newborns look for their familiar mothers' breasts
where they can be nurtured and their heads can safely rest;
the artist grows to choose his expressive mode,
external conditions he selects, and grows in his abode.

I live in a world of governing bodies I do deplore
but if I choose the comfort through purchases made at stores,
I can skillfully select my means and my support
and leave myself open to surrounding acceptance or retort.

Welcome the new and away with the old discarded truths
life, a game with a well shuffled deck and right cards suits,
goes on to fresher plains to write and express
and deals with issues that nurture and distress.

Hi Martin, interesting piece although it sounds suspiciously like a farewell....

Good observation,this came out of the resolution to go to other websites that would be emoticon friendly, after the change in the old 'house'

Well, I for one, am glad you left a trail of breadcrumbs here for me to find! LOL.
Well done.

And I am glad to see you here, as well...Martin. I remember this poem and have always liked it because it speaks volumes.

Thanks for peeking in, it's great we can repost and true there are times when I feel that less speaks more..this as you know came about with certain resolutions about where to write..have been to Mark's site it's cool too and he's very supportive..
