[paradoxical parenthesis]

paradoxical parenthesis

gypsy wanderings,

excursions

& conceptual volition

people come,

 people stray, 

some even stay

filling a void,

 leaving one behind 

drifting footnotes

 of our lives intentions

departures,

 detours & stop signs

transgressions amidst,

 rambling digressions 

or merely deflections

 in their own deviations

we mourn, rejoice

 and make modifications

revising an alteration

 aside our own

 aberration's fancy,

forever a part of our

 shifting transmutation

within a beguiled

 metaphorical mindfulness,

transposing metamorphosis

 in profound surrender, 

teaching us to dance

 amidst raindrops

as friends, family,

 & foe flutter by ~

You are wise beyond words. Well, except these I suppose. (;

I love this write. It is so genuine and honest. Life is constantly changing, the people in our life are changing. There is never anything that stays the same. The truth in this write is so profound. Fantastic, my dear. I thoroughly enjoyed this piece! xo (:

This was wonderful Frieda. So much truth and wisdom in those words. You shine amidst raindrops and splatter gently against painful walls. In your mournings you accept life's paradoxes. Excellent...:)......

Your wisdom shines in this poem! Isnt that exactly how life works? Its not stagnant...it flows and shifts. So do the people in our lives. If we are lucky the best ones do stay....they even dance within the raindrops with us. Sometimes laughing...other times crying. But they are always holding our hand. This one goes in my favorites... xo

[Frieda P]

Once I got over the 'wisdom' part and choking on my coffee I was able to say thanks Red, you're too kind my friend, when you don't have your whip out ;-) Grazie!! xo

[redflutterby]
