Just gotta surrender...

A very good question, Tiger Lily, especially today.

God is standing here right next to me, smiling, I imagine, and waiting for me to tell you I've been wearing my blinders again, acting as if I don't have two hands to remove them or simply ask for a little help. Great poem. Dawn

a powerful piece of poetry desiring to be enclothed in the embrace of consonance ... excellent write ...

Oh ET dearest Cosmic Queen I have never forgotten you or your astronomically astounding poetry! This is another Excellent piece! Hmmm and the question, thought provoking indeed!

My goodness, how I can relate to this write, Eileen. So often we treat the Bridegroom as if her were the fishmonger, huh (ooops, scuse the awful pun)... giving him a wide berth as if he had those icy fingers, choosing to wrap ourselves in the bearskins of stolid independence and false resolve. Stoicism and being needfully strong are completely different things, I think - and a blessed relief when we finally crumble and "come in from the cold"! I like the uniqueness with which you have expressed your thoughts here and the distinctive POV. Like The Emperor's New Clothes - but different! And don't we just kid ourselves? Neat styling here and well-cut images! :)) TY Kate xx

Why, indeed, Eileen?

Let your soul rest within God's embrace.

Love & Light,
Joseph

You are going deeper and deeper...very deep with this one sis!!

A powerful testimony indeed!!

An excellent question you pose, Eileen. Perhaps we don't feel that we are worthy of His grace so we sabbotage our lives. We choose sadness so we can escape the responsibility for our own happiness for a time. The road to enlightenment is not only a journey, but it is a long and difficult one. Sometimes we give up for a moment and drop into a futile state. The strong and the believers will pull themselves up and remember that we are not in this life alone, He is taking that journey beside us. Excellent poem of awakening, Eileen.
Take care,
Sherry

The painting reminds me of the Democratic Party devoid of ideas and direction but the poem asks a powerful question that only each of us in our hearts can answer. Splendid write.

A powerful testimony with strong concepts and questions. One proffered answer is some folks tend to be addicted to their pain and so reject the spiritual balm of which WEARING THE WRONG CLOTHES sings so beautifull. Thanks for sharing a dynamic write.

Good ending question!
