Really? You think so? Larry Norman seemed to have an excellent piece negating that happy thought, the strains thereof now waltzing through my noggin. Excellently rendered with great imagery and a clinging, haunting poignancy. Thank you for sharing.

Philosophy in zipped form. The first stanza lands with the impact of left hook by a boxer.

Well said, the poem revolves around the concept of personal transformation and the inevitability of change. It emphasizes the notion that one cannot remain the same from day to day, highlighting the importance of acceptance and embracing the journey of self-evolution.

Dear, Bella,

A wonderful philosophy, to be of the moment and even more wonderful, how to be of the moment? Simplicity is the answer as is beautifully expressed and defined in this lovely poem of yours. Poems like this is why I love poetry, I jest you nay. \'Simplicity of life that will abound.\' Superb!

Wishing you all the very best,

Tony.

That\'s gorgeous and I love your rhythm, I\'ve been to my friends wedding yesterday, so this is even more significant as it is exactly what we all did. My feet look like the hobbit now but I don\'t care, a beautiful and positive way to be. 🌹

Beautiful piece, Bella. It reads like a soft reminder to slow down and truly live…not rush past the moments that matter. I felt that, my friend. πŸŒΉπŸ–€πŸ™πŸ•―οΈπŸ¦β€β¬›

Mind that wanders, but never grounded - for me the most poignant line. Loved the sustained contradiction. It felt like a flower about to bloom, somehow had to remain un-bloomed (not sure if that’s a word)
