Out of the shade into the Sunlight you deserve
Love and light

I think I'm meant more for grey overcast days... lol But I thank you so much for reading and those kind encouraging words.  
 
I appreciate your visit, Ron  
Much love from across the pond,

People could learn by this, but human nature what it is, people sink into their own mind's abyss.

I think it becomes habit to hermit and some are just unaware because they prefer to isolate... Is my guess.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me, I am glad you found something worthy here.

🌹💙

Thanks for being here and feeling a semblance of what I had hoped to try to convey...

I think it's easy to become used to aloneness, it's when you're far too comfortable isolating that it might start to then be something of an issue. We're all social beings and it's beneficial in the long run to reach out to stay connected, which is oftentimes difficult.  

Much obliged for the generous list add and your thoughtful comments, T
I appreciate you!  
🌹

I love it working out while composing poetry! I loved it, it's highly relatable for me. You are a deep soul.

That inspiration comes as it does... lol...Thanks for the lovely sentiments and your visit here, Debbie.

I adore you taking the time - 💙- You're awesome.

Interestingly I just read Thich Nhat Hahn on the transformative effect of walking meditation ... Vibrating in similar wavelengths I think....L

Great minds think alike.... Thank you for feeling the wavelength, Lawrence - 💙

I deeply appreciate you being here
🌹 B

It's getting harder to hide, given the brightness of the light you're carrying.

Dawww... Thanks, RT

You're a bit of sunshine yourself!
🌹 💙

I enjoyed your poem B,

Great line:
where my depth perception
perceives things much smaller in the mirror
than how they actually appear  

Training and movement is a panaceia.

I resonate with comfort in aloneness. But trying to be sociable is important too I suppose. Anyhow, good read!

Regards,
BITS

Hey there, BTS

I am in wholehearted agreement with ensuring aloneness doesn't necessarily mean isolation. We're social animals, I'm set in my ways and enjoy being the one who picks and chooses who and how I engage.  

Thanks for feeling that portion of my little stream of consciousness spill, it says much, I hope.

Much obliged for the kind visit and your insightful comments, my new friend. It means a lot to me.  

Be well and be safe out there ;)

Great writing, powerful lyrics
I admire and enjoyed reading your poem

Thanks for stopping by... I think it's kind that you've taken the time to leave thoughts here. Just to clarify though, there's no lyrics here... It's a poem not music.

I wish I could right music that would probably be very cool.

Take care,
B

Great flow with this... carried me away...

Awww, that's wonderful to know!
Thanks, LilD :)

It's a pleasure to see you 🦋

Beautifully written sister
We often feel more comfortable when we isolate while still within the crowd. It sets us apart helps us to heal from our loneliness
To isolate to be alone yet never lonely is the goal
Love always

Damn, lady.. You do me so incredibly cool, with your sage insight and connected understanding.. - Ty.  

It's got to be that sisterly bond from our get go! ;)

I'll be keeping an eye out for your killer ink.... 👀  
It's such a joy to know you're here!

💋 - 💙

Out into the bright sunlight you go to enjoy your wild adventure.  Keep on writing you strong beautiful smart sexy woman.

I love your thought, there, Francisco!

I'll enjoy soaking up those rays, Thanks for idea!

🌹B

You soak the rays in a hot sexy bikini, with me by your side,  LOL.  I'll always be there for you Bluevelvete.

An anthem for the introverts!

And that last stanza is a total turn on.

I know, I know. I am a weirdo.

Ooooo... I love that admittance!...I get all deliciously touchy feely for weird! #Truth .. heh heh heh!

Thanks for seeing me and my little anthem like you do, MS.
What a pleasure ✨

I love how you just put your heart out there in your work Susan, that quality immediately captures me, stills my mind into silence so that I can receive with my heart.

Life has been a lot like this for me. Its become reflex after loss.  

Sometimes it's all about how we decide we're moving forward and how we allow ourselves that space in doing so.

You made me smile tenderly before bedtime, with our little simpatico moment, my lovely friend.
It warms my heart knowing you've felt what I had so hoped to put out into the universe....

Much love and sweetest dreams ✨
🌹💙-Susan

Aahhhh...many a poem have been inspired by that endorphin release
From physical exertion...
For me it's the treadmill...my zone away from home

Always a joy to visit your poetic kitchen, Blue
Thx for the inspiration

Stoicism is an art. 🌼💙

Now try producing this,l et alone come close Id say to AI. 🙂 Excellent expression B. Art is always above craft. This work the proof.
People often mistake craft for Art. We are here for works like these.
👏👏

Cf!!!
It's so wonderful to see you, my friend! What a fantastic treat accompanied by some truly sage and kind comments.

It makes me incredibly satisfied and beyond delighted to read you thoughtfulness - I'm humbled and grateful you found something here you enjoyed.

I hope you and yours are doing well,
🌹💙 - B

A good place to get lost...your mind not planet fitness 😂

lol... Thanks for the clarification but both places each have their own advantages, methinks .. ;)

Love seeing you here, Tim
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me and the very kind RL add. It means a lot to me that you found something here... worthy.

Much love,

I didn't know you're a gym-rat...I mean bunny🐻💞🐰Although I am neither small nor nimble I love this passage,
"stay small and nimble  
strengthening  
what I've learned  
needs to be stronger "
I wish I could develop the discipline to strengthen what I know needs strengthening.
I love the stanza beginning with "Release, you endorphins!" Oh that I could command my endorphins.
You inspire me again and again❣🌹

Ohhh BB...
Thank you for being so lovely and generous with your keen awareness and understanding. You get the essence, the metaphors as well as the practical meaning.

It's always a pleasure to see you, knowing that our kirtycyconnection is abundant and wonderfully impactful, in this kinship we both cherish.

It means the world that you've taken a bit of time out of your busy NaPo participation to pop in. Love love LOVE that.

Sending smooth sailing wishes for the rest of your daily offerings via poems that are left in April!
I'll be visiting your page, soon too!

What stands out to me is how clever this is, number one.  Incorporating a physical work out to tire the mind a bit, perhaps?  
Needless to say, I agree with its message as I read along.  Saying "Yep. Yep. Yep."  to myself as I proceeded.  
  We mostly do our inner workouts alone, I suppose.  But thankfully we share our mental muscles in writing.  You a strong one, my dear.  Flex it!

 * The last time (almost only!) that I was in a gym, I was there to work on an overhead light in the main area.  So there was my tall, lanky ass on the top rung of an eight foot ladder, stretching a bit too far to reach both ends of the light.  Below me, a rather large, buff guy was watching me.  He said "You got bigger balls than me".  
  I'm quite sure that I did not.  But it sure made me feel rather strong.  Lol.

You're a strong force, Susan.  Never doubt.

Hey there, Styx
This was just a bit of random thinking that sprung to life pretty organically. inspiration always seems to come when I least expect it and when it's not very convenient.
I guess that's just my way, I suppose... 🤷🏻‍♀️

Thanks for the compliment, your cute gym anecdote and the environment of encouragement you make sure that I feel so abundantly... It's not overlooked and immensely appreciated.

🌹💙

Very pleasant. Meticulously hopeful...
... ...
"... from all the aloneness ... ... "  ... 🤔 ...   Aloness is a synonym for loneliness
But the verse "... soul soothing by concrete hold  ... "  suggests *solitude* ...  👍
...
(Happy Easter, Bluevelvete)

Hey there, my lovely friend... ;)
I feel like there's a difference from really liking my alone time (aka my aloneness) versus the ache of being lonely. Sometimes it's very possible to be overwhelmingly lonely even with someone in the same house...

'Soul soothing by concrete hold' was my mind's attempt at poetically alluding to the release and gratification I get from lifting weights and working on becoming stronger.... 💪🏻 🏋️

Love your visits and your thoughtful comments.
Happy Easter to you and yours! - 🐣🐥🐇💙
🌹B

You're welcome, Bluevelvete.

Hoi hoi
Really laughed about the part where things appear smaller in the mirror than how they really are.
And look at how your work resonates with everybody……
Another wonderful piece of work. I love it to bits. I’ll be back tomorrow for another eyeful of happiness!
Kind regards, Gus

Hoi hoi

Glad you enjoyed that little portion of my ink, Gus!
It's nice to know I can put a smile on your face.

I never take for granted how lucky I am that anyone (much less several) can find something that they can feel or relate to, within my writing... It's truly mind blowing to me... all the time.

Please feel free to visit anytime, my lovely.

I hope you and yours are doing well and continuing to make music for all of us to enjoy!

Much love and from across the pond ✨

Physical exercise nurtures the habitual hermit. Even in a group, when sweating and gasping for breath, we can be alone in our thoughts.
❣️❣️❣️🙏

You've totally nailed that important truth.... I love how you understand me and my idiosyncrasies, KP.

How freaking refreshing!

This took me back years into the world of solitude iI inhabited in my youth. I was a complete recluse in high school as the principal told my parents. It took a major trauma of chrysalis to break me out of my shell. and there was no small amount of pain in the process. But I am so glad to have done so and to connect with you through your magical words. Your poetry is a delicacy that I have come to know and love. And feeling the depth of your emotions is worth all the suffering of my youth.

John

Oh my darling friend!
That sounds like it must have been one helluva life change and a painful transformation, indeed. Like you've already discovered, on the other side of all that loneliness and pain, was a wonderland of opportunities. I too, am over the moon that you've been able to heal and see the forest for the trees. It's beyond heartwarming and truly consequential to have you with me along our mutual poetic journeys.

Thank you for sharing your life experiences with me, it's extremely helpful and deeply appreciated.

🌹

I appreciate your time kind words here. You are strong individual taking upon all of these frustrations. Keep writing.

I often find that getting lost in my own head is the only way I find myself.
Well done.


hugs,
buddhakitty.

Thanks for sharing that little truth... I would have to agree, in certain moments bk...

It's lovely to see you 🦋 visit.
I appreciate it and you, so much.


🌹💙 💙-B

It's interesting that while on the treadmill (I'll listen to something heavy and fast), random thoughts do still tend to permeate and take us in directions where otherwise we wouldn't normally do. Excellent closing stanza and last line. Very relatable.

Love seeing you visit, Walter.

Sorry for the late reply, I'm slacking, I know. Glad you could relate to where I was coming from, via my inspiration... It's nice to know that there are others who's minds work similarly.. lol...

I am always super appreciative of your insights... Thanks so much for taking the time.
🌹 💙

I like your style

Thanks.
I appreciate that.
