A Handful of Random Thoughts and a Sunflower

 

Don’t think about her form

think about water, pyramids and dolphins ..

Don’t think about her hunger

think about clouds, butterflies and poetry ..

Don’t think about her lovers

think about patience, charity and sunflowers ..

        Ah those were the days eh ? Place and time brought beguilingly back with thoughts about who was there and why - - hope the patience was eventually rewarded my friend.........x

        • Neville



          those were indeed the days .. thinking back is what some of us have left .. but what memories we made .. x

        • Rocky Lagou

          I think sometimes during tribulations and hardships one must search for the light despite the hard times.

          "Butterflies and poetry" pretty much sums up how I do just that πŸ™‚

          • Neville



            bless you Rocky, it's good to know you are in my corner my friend ...

            • Bella Shepard

              Your words evoke images, emotions and a sunflower pressed between the pages of a book for safe keeping. Delightful, charming, a lovely,sentimental piece dear friend.

              • Neville



                I simply could not ask or wish for more Bella .. bless you & truly ... Neville

                  we seldom realise
                  how much history, walks into our life
                  mesmerised by that wink and smile
                  2023 and society's, scarlet badges
                  await to embarrass, stigmatise
                  those who choose to love bravely
                  different wording
                  a lot less, eye rolling
                  yet that archaic mindset, still exists
                  ...
                  so yes indeed, wise poet:
                  'Don’t think about her lovers
                  think about patience, charity and sunflowers ..'
                  (this that part of your poetry
                  which champions humanity's
                  capacity for humane, empathy)
                  I read and learn Hyung

                    it seems we are singing from the self same hymn sheet .. thank you brother Mek

                  • Kinsey Peterson

                    Neville- once again a beautiful work of art. Distraction, while beautiful, is only that, a distraction. At what point do we face the music? To what song do we dance?

                    • Neville



                      thank you most kindly Joan & may I compliment you on your new avatar πŸ™‚
