I’m not the only one to blame;
this rapidly changing outlook
has made me lose all strength.
My mind’s balance has gone,
motionless with just one view,
unable to swivel, see more.
I once felt, I wouldn’t change;
I have to, to find a safety net.
Cleaning all wrong thoughts
for eloquent ones to return.
Forgive my abrupt goodbye,
in the light of a coral sunset;
I change my path to save me,
and perhaps you once again.

| Sunday Whirl #30 |
The Sunday Whirl, hosted by Brenda Warren, offers twelve or thirteen words to be put into a poem or story. This prompt, their 30th had actually come out last Sunday.. I struggled with completing it, and in the end, offer this piece with eleven out of the twelve offered words used.
Vinay Leo R.
Poetry & writing to me are to me, a breath of fresh air in a life that is sometimes covered by the smoke of sorrow or self doubt. They also become the sweets I share to celebrate when life offers me a reason to. But most of all, they are to me, my life. For each word I write is a piece of my heart, a thought that just had to find its way into the world.
Brilliant one Leo…I loved the last line the most…And perhaps you once again:)

yes, once we closed our minds it is so hard to change. I often have to walk away to gain a new perspective.
