Clinging

By touching we feel, no real need to show
 Let us sense our favourite thing
 Dreaming sleeping a wish an awake so slow
                   
 Friends we keep close but why not a foe    
 God a pleasure, but still another king
 Learn through life avoid trouble and woe

 Shadows cast long and dark but avoid holy Joe 
 Be not like a worm the earth to cling
 Love life, go overcome like a fresh wind to blow

There is a true life’s poetry as some do know
Lives turning around climbing an upswing 
Grasping, releasing, knowing when to let go


All this thinking but what about the status quo
Going perhaps like an old wedding ring 
Gentle a feeling a releasing a touch there a forego

You seem like a very wise man, Nigel. I admire your ability to learn to avoid trouble and rebound when life throws curves your way. Your soul soars in this poem. And there is much we can all learn from it. Excellent work! Love, Carolyn
