Compromise

Fay Slimm.

 

 

Compromise.

 

I shall find bluebirds adorning my sky
after today,
knowing tomorrow waits
holding assurance to dry bleary eyes,
healing the whys
of today with promise of change,
offering faith
to a much bruised heart that refuses
negation of love.


I resist relegating us to yesterday's
pyre and will renew
after today more affirmative smiles 
knowing belief will stir
tomorrow, not beaten by housing        
defeated doubts,
but ready to reconnect our
togetherness as love's abundance
opens to compromise.


After today yesterday's dull ache 
may then become numb.

        Positive affirmations that love never dies; and troubles of yesteryear are forgotten

        • Fay Slimm.

          Yes R.B. we can all do with a bit of positive affirmation on the meaning of love's foreverness - thank you indeed for your visit and comment.

          Love's renewal, bringing "bluebirds" of tomorrow, along with an "abundance" of love. Hopefully more than a "numb"ness. Hope abounds in this write of renewal as "tomorrow" gives rise to expectation and answers all of "yesterday's" questions. Sometimes "compromise" is the only answer. A lovely poem, Fay. - Phil A.

              • Fay Slimm.

                Yes I do agree Andy - - tomorrows offer us much if we but hope for the best. Thank you for your read and wise comment on Compromise.

                My Dear Fay,

                What a pleasure to read your scripted words. A timely subject matter indeed. Heeding your well chosen scripted words, makes the reader reflect upon his/her own personal situation...and I believe what we hope for tomorrow will be today’s reality.
                Your letter may be ‘imagined’;
                but it’s message is not!
                I thoroughly enjoyed the read.
                Thank you for sharing your gifted pen.
                Have a splendid Sunday.

                All the Best my Dear Poetess.

                Laura🌻

                • Fay Slimm.

                  A massive thank you for this very encouraging comment dear Laura - - so pleased you enjoyed the read of Compromise and yes I agree that our tomorrows are mostly coloured by our attitude to what happens today - - really good to have your input again dear friend.
