Good advice in a poem. It is nice that we have a natural tendency to forget the bad and remember the good. Besides, what is keeping us from having a beautiful future except dragging thoughts of the past that are meaningless going forward.
Very unusual blending in this poem. It’s like a little journey in word-count, but a whole lifetime in content. This would not have its power, in my eyes, were it not fusing fragments to each other without punctuation separating them. So it swished over me in a very pleasant way, like the waves in that remarkable painting. There is a relieving element here that infers ‘letting go,’ and I always like that kind of message. Thank you for your postings, Mystic Rose. ~~ djl
I felt at peace just reading your first line.
I love the easy flow to "Before the End of Night".
