Tribulations

“I changed what I could, and what I couldn’t, I endured.” ~Margot Lee Shetterly

Beneath an indigo sky

Heavy with the promise of snow

One stands alone

 

Remembering better times

When the simple things mattered

And doing wrong wasn’t a causal act

[Dylan Macadham]

... Kudos, Mary, your last-line Slammers always get me in the gut! Lovely lines leading in, than POW!

Dylan, thank you for your kind support.

[John the Baptist]

The body can indeed stand alone at times. These are the times to be open to the spirit.

thank you John, you are so right, hence i chose the quote from Margot Lee Shetterly - “I changed what I could, and what I couldn’t, I endured.”

[Ookpik]

I’m not sure if right and wrong are always so easily distinguished, Mary. It ought to be clear, but it seems the more we explore the multiplicities of this world, the more the distinction seems to get lost in inveterate shades of gray.

Troubling poem here, Mary, and I do sympathize. I hope your writing it brought some relief.

Ookpik, thank you for your visit and sharing. One just can’t escape the lying the half truths its exhausting. It should be rather easy say what you mean and mean what you say.
