Indeed, as long as we have our faculties we can gain clarity, when our mind is in the right place!

Swan Lake
spilleronsheet said:

The balance of passion and perfection
The connection to soul that rhythm
A ballet means so much
Imbibed in an innocent heart
Stays forever with us
Truly appreciate your lines and I am so glad you did justice to an artist
Thanks for sharing this beautiful piece
It inspires me…

Words of wisdom
Stringed as senryu
So true my dear friend…
I keep rereading those lines to connect so many situations in life…

Amen to this Bella, honestly. Being \"woke\" and tactful in a time like this is honestly a treasure. I know that with enough kindness and love we can save ourselves from out impending doom.

Swan Lake
Paul Bell said:

That is a sad state, yet the music brings her back to life for a while.
I suppose stardom is fleeting and must be grabbed with both hands.

Wonderful tribute Bella, music is so important when suffering like this as it was for my wife during her dementia.
Music is so powerful in our lives.

Your thoughts laid out well
Smooth flow
Ageing can be fraught with duch sentiment
For balance, as all is not in vain, another side which you alsi may have experienced

Age
freedom
Freedom from nonsensical worry
To not matter is 解放,
what is the word liberation
He is bothering me turns to
he was bothering me
Relax enjoy enjoy some more
sleep perhaps sleepsomemore
Awakening
Freedom
freedom
age

It was truly amazing
From phoenix to self
The human embroiled in it
And the words so true
Very intriguing
Really enjoyed it dear Bella…

Paul Bell said:

It is a great analogy. Does it have to burn. Does it need to hurt before I feel the benefit. The answer is always yes, yet there\'s always just that little doubt in the back of your head.

A thought-provoking write. Sometimes we must cut away (or burn) the bad to see the good.

Yes Bella! What a dazzling 5/7/5 that speaks so many meanings in so little words. I adore the way you presented this with a question, it makes it feel like I walked into a conversation. This pheonix analogy reminds me of Sylvia Plath\'s most iconic lines in the poem \"Lady Lazarus\" in which she concludes the poem with, \"Beware. Out of the ash. I rise with my red hair. And I eat men like air.\" The \"red hair\" hinting at a phoenix type of resurrection. Your poem is so true, in order to make it far, we have to be willing to \"grab the match\" and light ourselves aflame. Marvelous Bella, just marvelous.

Fatalist?
Rocky Lagou said:

Period. This is literally golden though, a great delve into the human mind. We truly are our own obstacles. Great job Bella!
