  • The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

    I watched the thread,
    slip from my fingers,
    cold as steel.

    I couldn’t hold the end,
    or trace the start.

    Like a shadow in alleys,
    following the hunt,
    its shadow in my chest,
    too swift to name.

    I watched the thread
    through the silence.

    You can only sense
    when nothing stirs.

    I felt tremors pulse
    through skin, t…Read More

    • I was just thinking the other day of all the ways of saying and meanings for unravel. This is a potent expression of it 😊

    Neither one of us are religious

    We spoke about religion this morning  Neither of us believe  A lot got said Desire  Love Separation  Between church and state  Redemption perhaps  Then silence

    • Church and state should stay separate…It’s not though. Good piece

    • Happy Easter dearest Poet it was really a pagan fertility rite called Ishtar…Nature is where I go to find God…this is well said ❤️

    • Cleverly penned, Speak. As always you deliver my friend. They should always be separate indeed, unfortunately it seems some claim didn’t get the memo. Excellent write. Nicely done. Appreciate you.

    • Hello Gary. I agree with your poem & statement. To the point and you always nail it! Maybe to a cross!!

    • I’ve always said I’d like believe but I’m to pragmatic or stubborn or I don’t like Kool Aid …

    • Dear PS,

      I can always count on a particular dynamic in your poems that lay bare life at its core. And I always appreciate that because it’s raw and always truthful. Long live pragmatism. H🌷

    • Dear H,

      My father was pragmatic and I guess I inherited that trait from him.
      Religion is a something you grow up with or not. I had a religion but I’ve chosen to segregate the good from the allegory. The good part is spiritual and the rest for me is a pragmatic look at the people around me and what we share.

      It’s so good to see you H.
      I don’t come here often but every so often I need a place to put stuff.

      You found me, I’m saved !!!

      💕

    • Totally agree with your stance on religion. But it’s the relationship I see in your poem that makes me dig it. You have a way of saying a lot in a very sideways way. When you can talk religion with someone and then sit in a comfortable silence… that’s gold.
      So great to read your writing.
      ❤️k

    • I’m really glad to see your comment on this entry. Writing it reminded me of our DUP years. When our community would come together and you could write something like this without reprisals…

      Appreciate you Red

      You make me want to write more …

      ❤️
