Good, but hard to see the picture it’s very dark on my screen.

clever and insightful
good questions addressed

“How did we get here?
I wonder that still”

thanks – revivor

I often wonder if we have a preordained destiny and if that can be changed ` thought provoking write

Nice poem Shelly. It is truly amazing how our emotions can be so, as you say, “intertwined”. Joy, happiness, contentment, and amusement are all wonderful emotions. But some emotions, like anger, sorrow, and fear, we can not trust. When these emotions overcome us, we need friends, loved ones, and the grace of God to help see us through these troubling and trying times. Thanks for writing and posting.

Great poem and the picture came out clear on my end

Now, that is a good poetry.

I totally agree; intimacy and wrath should nt be combined..good one here..

I like the question “How can my life change if it’s against my will?” It’s hard to become that which we desire when we have to deal with sorrow, pain, and anger. Maybe it’s the sorrow, pain, and anger that shapes us and makes us better. Not all anger is bad. It can be channeled to be constructive. Your writing is honest and thought provoking! Keep it up Shelly

Thanks for all the good feedback everyone. It’s people like you guys that make poets and artists feel validated.

Oh and the pic is of the moon going through it’s phases, it didn’t come out on my end, but those of you who can see it will like it or you can click on it I think.

this is beautiful in so many ways…

True depiction on life’s journey for many of us.

I love to analyze things on different perspectives as well. Good one here, thanks for sharing..

Very nice flowing poem. Finding yourself sometimes comes with a hefty price. Hopefully, the price you paid wasn’t too expensive. Well done friend.

I looked up the picture on Wikipedia; it is a picture of the lunar progression from new moon to new moon. Perfect portrait of your thoughts.

As I read this, I thought of a particular verse: “That which I will is not what I do…. Oh wretched man! Who will save me from myself?” (paraphrase)

I love this, probably because I feel I can relate a little, but also because its so nicely written.

Nice poem, liked.

This is a great poem, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Maybe you could check some of mine out and see what you think.

Very soul searching. It makes you stop and wonder about yourself.
Keep writing,
