To touch a cloud like soft tomorrow
white and wispy full of sorrow
some never seem to  understand
when you're offering a hand


Like mist arising off the water
disappearing in minds disorder
never to grasp what has been offered
for powers of reasoning have suffered


Put aside all foolish suspicions
get in touch with your intuitions
trust the heart that longs to give
do not waste what longs  to live


Chaos and calm are sister and brother
negative and positive have same mother
you can't have one without the other
being too sensitive will only smother


Just as the day gives way to night
darkness gives way to light
the sun gives way to the moon
learn to adapt,it's never too soon

"being too sensitive will only smother" That was and still is my mother. So suffocating! Excellent poem and advice, Eileen.

Ok, advice well taken, Eileen. Especially to us "sensitive" artists. So hard to trust our own intuition, even tho we offer our gifts for all the world to see and judge. Ironic, huh? Flows like honey...

Adapt or die is the war cry , Eileen !

Rave on, Eileen, rave on. I have to say that I don't believe I have ever heard/read/saw this subject touched upon with quite the same fervor, or reasoning. Well-written rhyming poetry that is so much deeper than taken on firts read.
