untangled impasse

making sense yet once more,
thoughts re-arrange.
gone is impasse,
replaced by resolve.

wisdom prevails,
cobweb sweep away leaving
behind precision
of contemplation.

jumbled reflections untangle,
fusing with the
transparency.
great weight lifts.

buoyancy bounces off each step,
taken in new
direction. in course of life,
one can change avenues.

taking a detour,
following a new trail,
closing that door
firmly behind, he leaves

with a bounce in his steps…

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

For my nephew who had a little setback a while back. He is ok now. He has to be. He is MY nephew!!

  1. A very different story:

    always looking
    for an angle—painted himself
    into a corner

    Blessings to your nephew.

  8. You really have a knack for touching on the mental gyrations we humans perform when we are processing feelings/events. I could never explain things so eloquently! Enjoyed you before when Michele sent me, so I came back!

  9. I love the whole precision of contemplation. What a neat concept; I wish my contemplation was precise!

    I tend to look at new beginnings as adventures, too. Heck, every day's an adventure in my world!
