"Homecoming" (wordle poem)

The Sunday Whirl:




~ Homecoming ~

When solitude drives you insane,
Carry on singing:
Rejection is inherent
To life’s drama.

When it pushes you to the limit,
Keep on going,
Ignore the foul play
Of glad-handers.

Follow my voice, not their gestures,
I will guide you back
Through the dim hallways,
Beyond the past echoes,

Beyond the previous pain of your own
Delivery -
To the source of truth
And acceptance.



Live for the Love of it,
The Happy Amateur

    I esp. enjoyed this stanza...
    'When it pushes you to the limit,
    Keep on going,
    Ignore the foul play
    Of glad-handers.'

    Oh, very nice, Sasha. These are not easy words to use in the same poem and have them not stand out, but you managed. The poem is lovely.

    I am enchanted to reach into the ether and grab hold, like Wendy to Peter Pan, and fly away with you. I have not forgotten that 'Tag' Thingy... I have a plan forming of what to do... just needing to find the time :)
