What I Can Attain I Relish

A regret of a huge weight carved in a feel of hurt installed a pain in vein.. The soul freezed in time stripped of warmth denied enlivening beats.. A regret of a huge weight for not being.. not doing.. not living.. *** There would always be a joy missed a life switched a love not dared and skipped.. There would always be words not weaved voices not spoken paths not trodden.. *** A regret of a huge weight its doors I have to lock and keep chasing out wistful thoughts.. Gates of possibilities I need to unlock and deep inside contentment and peace I need to restore.. *** Done with the unreachable through with the inconceivable I surrender to the words gift and what I can attain I relish..

'There would always be words not weaved voices not spoken paths not trodden'....... I have the same thoughts. But life is one....with more of unfulfilled dreams.... than realized aspirations. As you think towards the end, enjoy what we have rather than grieve over what we haven't. A lovely poem and all each line so well relates to me. Besma, you are a person who delights so many by the beauty of your words... Will not that compensate for all that you fail to do?!

Indeed, that's the wonder and mystery of life! That's the secret core of our existence! Dreams, aspirations, longing, all that is unattainable are that life sustaining thread! That's what render Life appealing, of meaning and worth living.. You are of great beauty and insight dear Valsa, you dig deep into my humble poetry spending precious a time, effort and care to read and highly apppreciate.. I'm deeply humbled and grateful to you for such an honour and reward.. my deepest regards and blessings. Love and hugs.

Whatever we did, said or thought at a particular moment in time, we thought at that moment was right with the information on hand - looking back with misapprehension is not the way forward, it is said that hindsight is an exact science, but as Shakespeare said 'ours is not to reason why , ours is but to do or die' - you are a wonderful person - love you to bits, beautiful poetry sis. XXXXX Jennifer.

O Besma. I can understand the pain of living in a dead world, with masks and keeping one's distance. Yet you end on an optimistic note. We pray it will occur. An intelligent poem.

not being...not doing....not living.. that says it all. So true: there will always be something missing. Two frames of emotions you painted side by side. The final two stanzas deliver a message to live by. Much I gleamed from your thoughtful write, dwelling in wisdom, Besma.
