As Free As a Proverbial Bird
Mottakeenur Rehman said:

The poem\'s conclusion suggests that true freedom may not be found in the absence of constraints, but in the ability to transcend them and move beyond the limits of our physical existence.

Someone once said, when asked about his commitments, \"I\'m retired, I don\'t have commitments.\" Sort of aligns with your sense of freedom. We don\'t truly want to be \"birds\" (short life span) but to enjoy their freedom of flight. Well expressed and relevant. - Phil A.

I could take the meaning of the poem several ways and I think you are just gone, as in leaving. I\'m so glad you\'ll be back!!

Sounds like a bitter end to a relationship, by text no less. Your poem paints a clear image of one anxious to get out of town, and hopeful to leave behind a bit of bitterness. Love that he wants her to look in the mirror. A bit of reflection never hurts. - Phil A.

\'compelled
to stand before
your great
grandmothers
tall cheval mirror
and read
each word aloud ..
Louder
than a whisper
or indeed
a prayer even ..\'
pulls at those empathy heartstrings
even devoid of full clarity to meaning
the electric intimacy and sparkling imagery
insures these words resonate, deep
brilliantly executed, Hyung

Well, pray tell if you left it to the imagination.
But alas, the beauty of a blossoming womb.
I hope she has a great and easy birth.

Beautifully said dear friend. Life is each moment and each moment is precious, to be lived and savored. The saddest reflection is \"I wish I had, but never found the time\". The time is there, we just need the courage to seize it.

Live life to the fullest!! Retirement is meant to be happy times. So go ahead, do whatever brings you joy. A great expression of the dilemma in retiring or rather, your statement of dealing with it. Greatly enjoyed. - Phil A.

Life approached full on whatever the state or the passing of years is my motto too mi amigo- -- pausing for ageing never was on any good bucket list. Loving the honesty in these few lines though.........x
