Reset

R est my mind. Quiet my soul.
E mbattled. Tortured. Bitter. 
S end me home where silence reigns,
E arthworms spin secrets and scars decompose.
T ime relieves, energy recycles ...reset

Dear F J, your poem is very emotionally expressive and beautiful. Your last two lines, especially, are rich with imagery and alliteration. A deep and meaningful piece. Warmest wishes, my friend.. ~Susan

Very well written. It's a constant battle in my head. One minute busying my mind so I don't get lost in my thoughts, the next releasing the stress and trying to find the quiet inside of me.

December 4, 2020 at 4:59 PM

You and I have much in common it seems. Thank you Jim

January 10, 2020 at 11:02 AM

This is beautiful. I love this masterpiece. Happy new year friend. Keep the lines blessing.

Thank you

Re-New Re-Start pick some place new. and begin again. I'll say that I have done it. As a soldier in the army moving after another assignment. I like to think that I'm home. and I like this poem.

December 4, 2020 at 4:43 PM

Thank you very much Robert. Very sorry for my late reply. Life threw some rotten tomatoes at me and I had to clean up the mess.

January 6, 2020 at 10:10 PM

Sad, but creative. Thanks to your suggestion, I put up my first contest. Check it out!

January 6, 2020 at 10:22 PM

I saw it :D I love the meanings behind my grandson's Hawaiian names but it would take me all of 2020 to make an acrostic with them lol! Unique contest concept Juliet! Which makes it that much better!!!

I don't think this is creepy at all. I think it's an awakening of sorts. Loving, ..."Send me home where silence reigns...", that is the Home you must travel to within the dark night to find all the secrets of answers that unfold in the Light, like those seen in a hall of psychomanteum where the ghosts of past and future respond to your now. I love this poem. Not creepy at all. It is an Epiphany. x

lolol He is my best critic when it comes to those who do not read poetry often. He is also quite honest about it as you can see. Thank you LL!

There is something so real about this, scary real. "E arthworms spin secrets and scars decompose." - Wow!

January 2, 2020 at 9:58 AM

My husband's response was "it's a bit creepy dear." So I think I'll go with yours! lol Thanks Caren

Thought I had commented on this one. I guess not. It seems we are sharing a need to reboot our lives. A meaningful poem.
