Poem Artwork

letting go
is the key to freedom

no longer mired
in the struggle of fruitless blunders

rather designed to dabble in verses
conceived not to deceive

I struggle for the newness of purpose

consistency is just a dead ghost
haunting a lifeless island

yet variation is a voyage
replacing seasons of bodily change

recycled and transformed

Thought provoking poetry we've learned to expect from you Jude. Well penned, as always. I've found that letting go is the way to survive.

Oh, yes! We are "recycled and transformed" a few times along this path we call life. Stage left. Curtain drops. 'Love this!

Love ya!

I've had many problems "letting go" of past misdeeds etc, so I can understand fervently where you come from herein...Good to see you stop by the Den, missed you, hope you are well & Happy New Year...-e-

Any changes of transformation to the new is a good thing to free what's been bogging down one's mind. Worst is for those who refuse to transform themselves and continue to live in the past and bring it along to their present and their future.

Great to read you again, Jude!

The idea of "recycling bodily changes" is very disturbing unless one is referring to a "body of work" where there is less disruption of the human form. ;-)

Freeing the mind is a wonderful thing to behold.

There is a freedom in releasing that which no longer serves us. Nice job, Jude.

Learning how to let go is a difficult
but necessary part of life. Thanks for
the reminder.
