What You See Is What You Get. This is a journal blog, an explore-blog, a bit of this and that blog. Sharing where the mood takes me. Perhaps it will take you too.

Menolyrical; Final Friday Fiction

Here we are at the end of the seventh month of the twentieth year of the twenty-first century Anno Domini. ...Somehow that needed to be announced. 

Moving on.

And Still The Knots


So much unwound
by dint of deep search
of bare-heartedness

Of facing-up and 
gritting teeth
and getting real

Knots released
not without pain
surrendering

Are they ever gone?

NB; this is a response to a much earlier poem - see yesterday's post.

    Happy FFF YAM-Aunty
    Very interesting photo. My mind's eye sees someone on their back looking up wondering about the years gone by and the many uses of the barn.
    My FFF will post at midnight
    Hugs to you and Dad

    That's a poem with a lot of deep thought in there.

    This building is so old, rope left from construction tells us nothing new.

    I think we must learn to live with the knots, somehow.

    What a great poem. It made me think of all the knots in my muscles. I wish I could afford a full time masseuse to work all those knots out for me.

    Wow!
    This is powerful.
    I'm reading it a couple of days after the blast in Beirut and your words resonate.
    Sending you hugs. xx
