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!!
A very different story:

for an angle—painted himself
into a corner
Blessings to your nephew.

wonderful the way you 'shade' the piece. subtle nuances. dark and light. nicely done.
ReplyDeletelovely.
ReplyDeletei'm happy for you and your nephew!
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!
ReplyDeleteI love the whole precision of contemplation. What a neat concept; I wish my contemplation was precise!
ReplyDeleteI tend to look at new beginnings as adventures, too. Heck, every day's an adventure in my world!
I'd really like to close some doors n LEAVE too...but it has to come naturally...when Im ready to do so.
ReplyDeleteLovely verse there Gautami!
