Easy to say, another to be or do

Poetic Dan

I haven't written in a while because it's no easy task, every inch of my life is falling apart

If it didn't feel so tragic I'd probably laugh as each street becomes the same painstakingly long path

In this forever ready world my energy is none, with no action left only words that have been to pass on

A ghost in my shadow until the day I return, in hope that what is lost was never needed and what stays finds a home

Bring my mind back to the body in spirit to feel whole, letting the rivers run dry to see a smile lay deep in the soul.

        This really grabs me, "a ghost in my shadow", "a smile lay deep in the soul". To me the juxtaposition of these two lines speaks of the surface life, and what lies deep within. That somehow we are never completely drained. Many good wishes for that smile to reappear.

          I read words a few times now and can\\\'t thank you enough for the wishes as today is a new that I will make the most of and keep bouncing back..

          Really appreciated

            Dan,you have the fight of a lion you just need to dig deep within yourself to find it,and the heart as gentle,, loving and hopeful as a dove,you have the support you need here on MPS

            • Poetic Dan

              Got chills each time I read your opening line my friend and that Lion Inside is standing back with pride! Thank you so much for your precious time and support

                'Bring my mind back to the body in spirit to feel whole'
                its so hard to differentiate
                between our mind's, anxieties
                warping our reality
                and us, just being life weary...
                that's why we need, those tools in life
                to centre ourselves, when we're lost
                to those winds of chaos and strife..
                stay strong, dear poet
                entrust your evidently abundant, wisdom
                to guide you
                through those choppy waters of life
