Instances From the Past

Resilience springs from well established perseverance Resistance of determined energy associated with courage adherence Your dedicated sense of responsibility would evaporate Through nourishing yourself on ancient virtue you saturate Corridors of memories disjointed but with purpose Provoked images delicate features so smooth yet nervous Having my senses marred by instances from my recent past Forever dreams just don’t exist, oceans of feelings never last Upon breaking free from your inspirational confines I do not need to destroy you to prove I exist by my design One’s sole dignity adaptability with staggering evidence Spun left with a dogged revolt against negativity and arrogance Exposing insight into the depths of your true meaning Taunting words unspoken were insulting plus demeaning Efforts based on your assumptions override your many lies Only enhancing my boundaries of perception, alas was your demise

Brenda, 'Upon breaking free from your inspirational confines ~ I do not need to destroy you to prove I exist'. That's a fine line from 'Instances From The Past'. Loved reading all the comments too. Seems to me there's one underlying truth.., we missed you. -Richard

Your expanding 'boundaries of perception' have given birth to this tremendous poetic conception, Brenda. Keep the ink flowing, my friend. Light and Love, Gershon

Ah, my dear insane sissy, your poignant pen makes me want to holler at the gimpy butler to round up the Unicorns, pop the corks and unleash the DJ so we can hit the dance floor in the west wing and party like it's 1999 and kick the last of the lost loves to the curb! Lol! But seriously, your soulful pen is potent, I am deeply moved by; "Forever dreams just don’t exist, oceans of feelings never last" and "I do not need to destroy you to prove I exist by my design" - such tender soul-baring and beautiful strength.. and your last two lines a grand finale to an expressive piece. I missy you, my sissy! Love and hugs, your sane tree-house sib <3
