Carolyn, before commenting on "Restive" let me thank you for your review of my poem, "I Want to Tango with You" and your wish for me, in that regard. I relate personally and powerflly to your poem "Restive." The verse "Why remains unclear Reason, logic have no role Inexplicable" makes the point for me in my reflections, especially as it relaes a person I cared so deeply for. I'm sure you know who. Memory of beauty experienced in the past remains to nurture. Alan Watts puts it this way, "Memories of the paat and anticipations of the future exist only now, and thus to try to live completely in the present is to strive for what is already the case." We have the power to replace restlessness with peace and joy.

But when the broken heart mends....peace will come again! Enjoyed!

glimpses of peace can help restore balance. It is something to reach out for. I wish you well and much peace, love and light,

"a stolen glimpse of peace " is better than none ...

You've worded this verse meaningfully like the title, by which letting out the gesture in the lines... Thanks for sharing...

Your words certainly stir memories for me as well, Carolyn. Well done. Love and best wishes,

There are moments when i wish
i didn't have a good memory,
it can be merciless in what it stirs;
fine work, Carolyn, it hits the very spot.
