HMMMMM...DID YOU SAY 'SELDOM' GO BACK? WHICH TO ME MEANS ...EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE YOU DO GO BACK THERE TO THOSE 'PACKAGES'...THAT REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN THROWN OUT, PERIOD. YES, THEY HAD A PART IN SHAPING YOU, BUT I MEAN...EITHER YOU GET RID OF IT OR YOU KEEP GOING BACK(TOTHE PAST) AND, WITH TOLERANCE, REVIEWING 'THINGS' THAT 'ONCE EXPOSED' ARE BETTER FORGOTTEN AND DONE AWAY WITH. HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS NOT WISE? I KEEP DOING THE SAME THING MYSELF WHEN I NEED TO GET RID OF THOSE 'PACKAGES'...! BUT I AM PRAYING ON IT, LA BELLE...KNOWING THAT WHAT I CANNOT DO, GOD(FROM WHOM THERE ARE NO SECRETS) CAN AND WILL DO 'IF' I LET HIM. ENJOYED, THANKS FOR SHARING. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH...HIS+INSPIRATIONS

This insightful poem spoke to me on different levels, all having to do with different kinds of relationships. Very well written.

Well written, Hopefully well lived but the past is the past, and it can not surpass, the joy that awaits today, and in the future!

It's wonderful when two people can view each other's past with an empathetic eye and understanding of what happened, happened for a reason and remains no threat in the present.

This one is very personal and I share some of those same thoughts.

It is an impressive exploration of thought and words seldom used in a piece of melancholy examination. I mainly take to this kind of poetic discourse for it leaves the reader with something or many things to consider and ponder... mystery answers only the poet knows, but the reader can find his or her own identity in this kind of work. Well done, La Belle. Well done!
