Move the Clouds,A Reason For Rainbows

~~Move the Clouds~ (A Reason for Rainbows) When you left, you took my heart! It was midnight. You darted out of the house into that midnight Spring moonlight, with but two sentences. I stood there weeping, with my tears  falling on my starlit engagement ring. Like a fool, I believed what you said. You bag of arrogant wind! I seriously thought of suicide each day for months. I went into therapy, too But God had much bigger plans for me. He placed a beautiful man in my life, who never hurt me or caused strife. I became the Mother of a beautiful girl, an outstanding  grandson and a totally transformed life. I don't let people's outrageous evaluations of me cause me pain. Others judgements are what they are, their judgements! They are not me. I learned to soar like the white  sea gulls above the Pacific. So astonishingly high above San Francisco Bay! Whenever, I chose~night or day. And be totally me, me, me. Now and forever. Free ,free, free! Of others' arrogance and grandiose superiority.                ~~~~~ June 2, 2019 3am PST

Ann..I once described myself as a poet of the heart. Ee Cummings poems move me so much. He IS the poet of the heart. Anyway, to overcome that incident brought me in contact with lovely people. They are the ones who helped me fly. In all areas of my life. Nothing like freedom to be fully who you are. And give that gift to others. Thank you for the comment and the FAV Panagiita. Have a great weel full of love.

A beautifully expressed and empowering poem, Panagiota. Evocative and emotive, I especially appreciate your last stanza. A deep and compelling pen. Excellent title too. Warmest wishes always.. ~Susan

Dear Susan, what a lovely comment. I, too, thought it was a moving poem. And agree on that last stanza~ no person should be at the mercy of another. I do cringe in my soul when others are. A poem like this is not made to impress. I just feel comfortable in my own skin and like to share my joy. And the hard truths about my life. Others do also. Bless you.Susan! Panagiota xoxo

As the wise man said, 'This too will pass.' Time is a wonderfully thing when used correctly. Wonderful poem of survival. Have a great day my friend.

Time, therapy and mentors of the first order. If I were left to my own devices, honestly, would not be here. But deep inside I had a search for meaning, I did find it. Death has stalked me many times. GoD Provided the humans to see me through. On my own, don't think I Would have been here! Thank you David!

I haven't thought of that event in a long time. I don't dwell on such incidents, but I hope it helps anyone who thinks the past determines the present. Not so. Thank you.....for your meaningful comment Panagiota xoxo
