I define.
a sort of teetering
on a precipice
insight and clarity
from tired meek
to almost fully heard
Oh to roar
allowing for unselfish focus
doubts drift
stresses of unsure
or insufferable insecure
s l i p a w a y
silent bursts
of all that's etched
to marvel in
hard fought, learned
permeate from inside out
i glow in raw iridescence
a fresh breeze mixed
with antiseptic sunshine
dispelling
desperate smoke
of self righteous blown
into it's very nothing
my hands
are so much stronger now
lungs breathing surety
bigger still,
my genuine heart—
swollen
of all it's uses that certain sparkle
fought in fearless and in kindness
unleashed of wrongful burden
never full of
or fully.
A belief in all that's just,
found by true battle worn
harsh, devoted effort
and those promises,
promises
safely sealed within all my hallmarks
.... a forever me, reminder.

Re. I define.
Dearest, Blue
I absolutely love this tribute to your hard-won self awareness. This passage is beautiful to ponder, "permeate from inside out." It evokes thoughts of the Socratic method and bringing to the surface of our consciousness the innate knowledge we possess of great importance in life. you are demonstrating by means of your erudite writing the true, valuable worth of your existence. And what an exquisite way to describe you,
"i glowing in raw iridescence
a fresh breeze mixed
with antiseptic sunshine"
Bravissima Lady Blue❣️❣️
Oh, and image is awesome 🐻💋🐻💋🐻

" never full of

i'm always wanting to ask You how i can strengthen and help and heal Your spirit.
I won't deny that i am falling for something here.........damnit! Your spills -- one after another, resonate one purpose(?)
Keep spilling and if anyone counters or confronts, send them to me. You deserve to spill non-stop without angst and or confront shit.

Re. I define.
Susan this write is a beautiful expression of your extraordinary Value as an individual.
In fact, your very ''Value'' is a 'luxury' for me to have you as my friend.
This incredible poem has a memoir appeal to it that I find striking.
And as usual it is written in your prevailing masterful creativity.
Your poetic prowess takes me along with you in your beautiful journey of self-worth.
These written words beam and shine on its magnificent author.
... a perfect read for me after being offline for quite a few days.
Brilliant!

My lovely friend!!!
It's AHHMAZING and incredibly good to see you, I hope you weathered your irl time away. I know the difficulties of making time for yourself... it can be exhausting!!
To say that I missed you would not nearly suffice! Not even close! My greedy girl self missed your beautifully and artistically crafted comments woven just so. In that 'pure Ron original' style of positivity, encouragement, and hilarity mixed with sexy... hahaha. The very best!
I'm so glad you enjoyed my poem, your beautiful words are still ringing in my head. I'm deeply grateful for you, the list add and your big heart.
Please don't be a stranger, if you can...
no pressure, though.... ☺ and again Soooooo wonderful seeing you.
Much love and welcome back hugs,

You almost had me teary, my salty sweetheart! I hope you're feeling better this morning and more comfortable.
Thank you from my deepest resources. You are my torch bearer, staunch ally and biggest light. You illuminate and give me the encouragement, courage and joy to want to be and want to remain
There's really nothing better than meeting someone who you have a kinship with... even if they're far away. I adore your comments and just wanted you to really know how much ;)

... soo I love thank you for stopping by. Please don't be a stranger! I appreciate the kind word and your attempts to read twice, It's really just a poem about not letting anyone else define who or what I want am, and a bit of a fu to those who've tried.
Your comments mean a lot to me, and I am grateful for the thoughtfulness you have given.
I shall try to earn my A++ 's in the future....
(Awww.. I tease!)
I hope to see you again soon ;)

Susan, your introspections make for a melody of self-awareness whose joy I can feel through your words. The depth here is a wonder to behold like a chrysalis that you are going through whose joy I share by reading. You, my friend, are a truly gifted poet upon whose poetic table there are delicacies abounding.

Poetical table with delicacies abounding, he says...You're a writer through and through, my friend. I love that description so much. It's warm and inviting. I can't thank you enough for showing me all this love... I'm taken aback by the kindness.. I have been in such a funk the last few days and you have really helped to turn my mood around and I appreciate that and you, John

There is a very profound message in all this which I appreciate even more now as I grow older. Perhaps the melancholic in me listens to the undertones of battles fought, won and lost, all the scars now like medals of honor and bravery even for the heartache once endured.
Your poetry here reaches and touches many folks, and I think that's the beauty of it, we reflect ourselves in your words.

That's one of the best compliments I've ever received, Walter... I'm flustered and don't quite know how to respond... other than thank you so much for sharing those profound sentiments. I'm humbly grateful for all your support and encouragement.. You are a positive influence and force among us, thank you.
