Put It Back
Doggerel Dave said:

Greetings, Bella! You referred me back to \'put it away\', which I initially missed. Normally I am not fond of poets here who dispense personal advice....... However either of those poems could be mantras which I\'d find quite useful at times.
Many thanks for presenting them.

My friend, this speaks to me deeply. Letting go isnโ€™t forgettingโ€”itโ€™s finally understanding who weโ€™ve become because of what was. You express that so clearly. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ–ค๐Ÿ™๐Ÿ•ฏ๏ธ๐Ÿฆโ€โฌ›

Acceptance is the greatest of gifts both for oneself and for others. I found long ago that accepting that one does the best one can under the circumstances and with the tools that one has to work with frees one from guilt and blame and that is enough. A most lovely poem Bella and close to my heart a fave

Whether we like it or not, we do all change. Embracing the transformation as you have beautifully said makes all the difference Bella!

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.

Musings On \"Being\"

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.
