Give Pause to Reflect

Bella Shepard

I will never again

Be the person I was yesterday

I will never again today

Be the person 

That I will be tomorrow

But I can 

accept and embrace

The transformation

    Incredibly powerful dearest Bella, like a mirror image blasting back at the reader. Superb my dear friend. 🌹

    • Bella Shepard

      Thank you my dearest Teddy. It's funny how the older we get, the more we contemplate, guess it's just a natural progression of aging. Hope you have a beautiful Sunday!

      Ah Dear Bella The passage of time and its transformations that can never be reversed. A most lovely write.

        Thank you my good friend for your kind words. Time is both illusive and elusive, we're forever reminded of its passage. Hope you enjoy a beautiful Sunday!

                    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.

                          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.
