Avenues to Where, Exactly

the avenue to yesterday is frought with broken dreams and endless 

talks about nothing productive

careless mishandling of emotional treasures

entrusted to the wrong hearts, wrong souls

left field,

strike three

let us remember to let go

help us to keep this moment, pristine

walls can speak volumes 

yet, harbor no tongues

letters are easy

so hard to put down

the essence of everything is to love without measure

no expectation

no judgement

just be

be in the moment with me

share the deepest part of your secret heart's desire

no condemnation

simply open and free

"the essence of everything is to love without measure/ no expectation/ no judgement/ just be/ in the moment..."

we aren't in the moment enough...we are too busy "mishandling emotional treasures"---


i concur....this is a beautiful poem with deep meaning.

"walls can speak volumes
yet, harbor no tongues
letters are easy

😃 hello ANTO,

I, too didn't notice your comment until tonight...hmmmm..talk about a parallel universe💫

I am of the opinion that one of the most important keys to true happiness in addition to having an attitude of gratitude is to be in the present....to celebrate the power of now. This moment. Right here...

...for each day is a gift😃

Thank you again for taking the time to read my work. I am encouraged that you enjoy them.

Aloha,

Alisa🌟

~~ wow... ~~ what a sensible, enchanting and loving invitation... ~~ sometimes i do wonder if i am stranded in one particular moment in time... and then i see where i live... (India)... and i realize that at least i'm not stranded in one moment of time centuries ago... it's such a regressive place... oh, well... it is how it is... ~~ but your poem is lovely... :)

Happy Holidays to you from across the way!

Thank you for taking the time to stop by and leave a much appreciated comment. I think that there are those certain ones who speak without action... and others who let their actions speak for them.

I love the latter ones...
