The Shift

The Shift

The shape that simple. 
Not sewn to disguise
the inner person... 
Wise in its design, 
the unmissable adress
complements the mind, 
laid out, informal. 
Desire embroider sight
with hidden shape
and curves not known well... 
Seamless the shift
from closet mind
to knowing it all-
shifts the childlike heart
from unreal to real. 
Rarely left unpicked, 
the cotton - on cloth
of an unshapely mind.

Silent One December 2, 2024 at 8:58 AM Hello my friend, your poem reflects on the relationship between appearance and identity, the journey from innocence to knowledge, and the continuous process of self-realization and transformation. It uses rich, tactile imagery of cloth and design to express the complexities of the human experience and the evolution of the self from external simplicity to internal depth. Aqua Marine December 4, 2024 at 1:59 PM I really enjoyed your comments here, S0... And thank you for your consistent encouragement to so many, always positive and thoughtful... :) ((Warm Hugs)) Aqua M.
