| Recognizing where you were is vital to acknowledging where you are. Dwelling on the past reinforces it. Tough balance. Cool pic. Patrick |

Change is within all of us. Hopefully, the "... who you are now" will be better than the "... who you were then" BUT!!! who makes that distinction? Only you, my friend. Only you.
Very thought provoking piece. Thanks Dick |

this is well thought through, Jerry,
and the motif is serious, relevant and
worthwhile; for me, the last four lines
in particular are very strong

| I like Pat's comments, as I feel that similarly. You employed such gripping language to define this emotional tapestry: "Like ashes of foul deeds/Dropping like pebbles" The acts of sorrow cofirming 'not the same person' (evolution of a being) pastes a truth upon a truth. Overlay is a good term to convey what you have here, continued in the language of "Reprieved by the very act/Of growing into who you Are." So cathartic and not undermined by the niggling 'spank us an night' remorse that every single living human being suffers I am convinced. That we can turn it into a work that speaks the universal condition is a talent to appreciate. The ending stanza is enormously cleansing. Good write. ~~ Diana |

| contrition is one thing ...regrets ARE as you so skillfully point out are a waste of time, energy, but oh so instrumental in providing the necessary material with which to write some of the most powerfully moving pieces that i've witnessed from you. so keep the cathargic 'naked' material spewing forth...whether we see it or not...joy to you jerry you've paid your dues...p |
