Rise
jarcher54 said:
A simple but subtle little poem... your list of questions suggest it\'s very human and even acceptable to both flee and stay, crumble but survive... but you exhort us to CHOOSE one of the last pair of opposites: rise or fall. So maybe we can give in and both rise and fall, but the rise is the one that matters. Thanks for the reminder to be brave these days!

These things come into our lives where we struggle to help, never give up though as your trying to help is invaluable and will be successful one day.

Yes the last line is haunting... I recall spreading the ashes of a dear friend... literally had that dust on my fingers, and one is shocked by the density, the dead weight, of the ashes of a cremated person. Thank you for the image. I have no idea if it was literal for you or figurative. Not sure it matters...

A totally different poem on second reading, when the last stanza is foreseen. The slamming doors become literal slams of literal doors in an abusive relationship. Thanks for preserving what must have been a painful experience. I hope it did not linger.

Good Evening Clarissa ~ Welcome to MPS. It is a proactive site and it functions by reading & commenting on each others Poems ~ OK.
Brian here (I share this site with My Wife Angela). We met three years ago when I was 33 & Angela 28.
Your elegant Poem echoes previous liaisons we both had which started positively but expired. As a Man my Mantra was *Better to have loved & lost ~ than never to have loved at all* That attitude is more difficult for a Lady because Your commitment in Love - seems to me - to always be greater than the Male ? However echoes of our past loves ~ still flutter in our minds like *Whisps of Silk* Thanks for sharing ~ more please !
Blessings & Peace & Joy
Yours Brian & Angela 💛💛💛
