I believe this is the most powerful I have read yet. Regret keeps wings bound, as the salty tears feed the despair.

PS

yes diana....your 'escape' is in your pen...use it lavishly. so many emotions waft from your beautiful words

Sometimes letting go is not a choice, but a necessity and moving on (if there really is such a thing) is a journey. The love remains...forever. There are joys and blessings all around us, but when the heart suffers such a loss, they are often difficult to see and appreciate. Not sure there is an "escape". Tugs at this heart! ~Hugs, Elizabeth

It would appear, Diana, that your escape is un your pen.

Well written, Diana

Expressive lines with effective imagery. It's easy to relate to your words.

A GREAT SHARING...HEARTFELT AND HONEST. EVENTUALLY IT WILL COME...YOU WON'T EVEN HESITATE AND ASK...YOU'LL JUST KNOW THAT IT IS TIME TO...MOVE ON AND BEGIN AGAIN. THANKS AND BLESSINGS. LOVE AND FAITH...JOYCE * HIS INSPIRATIONS

Sometimes its hard to let go, but life goes on and we have to move forward. There are great visuals in your heartfelt poem...M

My book '

















We share much the same thoughts and interest. I had to let go of the past and thus became a new creation in Christ and my recent book
The Garden Path and poem The Garden Within would interest you. I had a out of body experience while letting go of the past which changed my life and because of this I became the person God created me to be. Regards Marguerite The Little Flower on Authors Den

Beautifully written poem and indeed well expressed. My prayers are with you Diana. I´m happy that you have a history of migration somewhere in your origins.

BEAUTIFUL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Liana Margiva

so beautifully written, to escape....and you will. Morgan

The layout suggests upward movement already, as the desired outcome.
Compelling imagery on both sides of the see-saw produce resourceful states of mind. Thus cultivated and charmed an inevitably positive outcome will emerge. Captivating,caring,tangible descriptions.

Diana,
this is such a wonderfully written poem. Yes knowing when to let go is key to healing..You sound like you are doing just fine.

Know that I care and I am here for you.

Much peace, love and light,

What you feel is "Human" and totally understandable as most go through this period...the question is the amount of time...for every individual is different and the time needed is varied. You will know when you stop asking yourself this question. You will know. Excellent expression.

Through the time of our lives we so often say or do that which eventually we regret. Hopefully words or deeds may be presented to overcome that which at time we may come to regret. Sometimes...
Sad, lonely words, Diana.

"my soul is tugging gently,
like a grounded kite"

I can really feel this line. Well written poetry!

Peace,

Oh, Diana, there are such sweet and gentle thoughts that trickle from between the lines of your writing. I loved how you stated that your feet are "planted" in the Garden of my Heart. Here you remain, devoted, with the desire to enjoy life once more, but the mere thought of it sends feelings of guilt speeding through your very being. How I wish for you to soon be able to break free...to delight in life once more. It will happen; it's simply a matter of time. My three sisters and one of my brothers have all experienced what you are going through. It was difficult for all four of them, but God did not allow them to be in that frame of mind forever. My prayer is that you will "escape" soon and can do it without self-criticism. I hope my words have been as tender as I am convinced you are.

Love and prayers,

David

The taste of love leaves a craving that is difficult to forget

Lovely writing sweet lady..Hugss

I relate to your soul garden Diana
and the beauty of your "eternal devotion"
regret can be a beautiful thing
it really can as it teaches us
with such valuable lessons
through loss or through happenstances
mistakes are worthy to embrace

May Love's Balm Spill Over You
Love & Blessings

Well said, Diana. There's always an escape if we let go and be patient. God bless.
