Just sitting here on my bag of troubles pondering where I can hide it. The thought occurs that it really should be Irretrievably lost. I don’t feel that way, yet. I’ll just calmly stroll away. Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write. |

Helen ~ I don't want my troubles anywhere around me. I lose them as far away from me as I can. I put 'em in a bag (kinda like blindfolding them) and just lose them  Sy ~ Thanks. jwesley ~ yup. Don't want 'em to find their way back! Sunshine ~ Heavens NO! Don't keep 'em safe and sound ... exterminate them once and for all! Fool, said my Muse to me, look in thy heart and write.

Interloper - oh ponderer of thoughts...if I wanted to sit on my bag of troubles I would have to borrow the neighbour's ladder!! Oh, to walk away and not look back. enjoyed this as I do all of your work. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

 (big hugggssssss) This is such a beautifully thought-provoking piece, sweet friend, I too would rather leave behind all of my worries and try selling them at a rummage sale of chance for new hopes and opportunities! (sigh) We all love you so much, sweet friend, this really left me pondering! You have such a beautiful heart, dearest friend, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton |

Great poem Interloper. As for troubles, I put mine on a slight priority system, and always move them to tomorrow, and by tomorrow, they get moved to the next day, and so on, so eventually they are gone! I work on the "Don't Sweat The Small Stuff" idea that it is in fact all small stuff in the scheme of bigger things. ~* Imagination is more important than knowledge *~ |

Interloper, Look, I'm two blocks from the water. I can throw them in for you. Make sure there's a boat anchor inside that bag though..don't want it floating to the surface. Or!!...we can wait until summer, take it to the beach and bury it!  Invite all of Passions poets and have a beach party afterwards!  ~Hugs, Nancy~ ~Time has cast a spell on you, |

Interloper, yes! throw 'em away! I just turn my back on anything that bothers me. Ignore 'em and once in a while, maybe once a year or so, I get ambitious and pitch a bunch of memories in the trash, without even looking into it. I don't seem to miss what I don't see. Hehe... O occasionally I may wonder about some old keep sake with memories of long ago, but I know that now it would be impossible to find it, so I just shrug my shoulders and say to myself. O well. And take another step forward. I find that I just don't think about a lot of old pain when I get rid of the stuff that came with it. And now I have all of God's wonderful Creation! And looking at it is wonderful! Why hang on to old troubles? Release 'em. ((Interloper)) -newell Sharing God's Love through perfectlovepoetry.com |

Interloper...Sometimes, the best thing we can do is "walk away" to another place, to another time, where we are free from all life's burdens. Great poem!!!! ***Ivy Rose |

Give me your troubles and I'll toss them away For no longer in dismay will you stay I'll throw them out into the shores What else is a friend for So give them here and I'll pack them up I'll unload them out of this truck I'll take them to an isolated place Where there won't be even a trace Take care and may you be better soon.
