The Aching Never Quite Abating

Published in "The Nexxus" 2012

I let go.
Let go, but witness the
still holding on of
watching and wanting.
Now, in the midst of all
this detachment, I
have space in mind to
watch the smirking.
Slow towards me.
The aching never
quite abating.

Infinite and forever,
rustling vegetation
in immutable designs
somehow never
going away.
For me, the truth
is never absolute.
The indignity
more hopeful in
some odd way.

I let go.
So should you.
Don't remember and
recall
every rumour we
entertained.
"Stay present" ,
stutter the opinions
of too many
individuals
who not only
ask, insist.

I let go.
It feels right.

To let go, indeed feels right... You have penned a magnificent piece...it uncoils the rumours and detaches you from the ache. Brilliant write!~xo~:)

emotional poem

[Steph K]

I am always one for imagery and you pen this out so well in this piece. "Stay present" ,stutter the opinions" This speaks as a whisper, a word and powerful emotion. Beautiful and simple yet ultimately strong.

[Loner]

I only wish I could let go. But damn, I must agree with Penlady, it "put a lump in my throte". Very emtional piece.

[Renny]

Yea. Penlady was so right when she said your works illicit so many emotions. May The Good Lord sustain you and grant you wisdom

[Penlady]

I've often wonder IF i ever learn the lesson suggested in your beautiful poetry, IF it will feel allright. I guess I'm hopeless because your last two lines did not free me, for me, but instead put a lump in y throat. Your work ilicits so much feeling,,,beautiful and wonderful to read!
