Revelation

As gray clouds disperse to sunshine there is revelation Piecing together things from the then and now Lessons learned with changes bring me such elation Combined with the ongoing strength to survive somehow Piecing together things from the then and now New light is shed on so many things misunderstood Combined with the ongoing strength to survive somehow I will not look back in time and think, ‘I should’ New light is shed on so many things misunderstood Lessons learned with changes bring me such elation I will not look back in time and think, ‘I should’ As gray clouds disperse to sunshine there is revelation Heidi Sands 7/25/17

I've only recently discovered the Pantoum form, but this is a great example. Well-written, with a "punchy" conclusion. Nice work! Regards, John.

It wasn't long ago that I found this form too and practiced a few. As they can be challenging. Thank you John :)

A nice pantoum Heidi. These are difficult to get to read as smoothly as this one does. Nice job! - Dean
