that
That
that song that keeps playing in my head
that retort I wish I never said
that money I wasted on a dress
that time you asked but I did not say yes
that photo I never got to take
that mistep I refused to make
that jealousy I fought so hard to erase
that
that creeps into a deeper place
that longing I cannot control
that rant when I'm on a roll
that day I gave up to work instead of play
that day I gave into shadow's way
that I know I'll do it all again
that unruly energy I now call friend
that chaos is another path taken
that
that leads to gifts starting to awaken
that I can now face the pain
that unruly energy called passion stands to gain
that we so often mislabel what is truly in our hearts
that is that sum of all its wondrous parts

Thank you. I do not know why Blogger is creating only run-on sentences for any post I try to post. This is very annoying and tedious.
I will be switching over to wordpress entirely in the near future. I apologize for this ignorance.
How beautiful! I love it. I hopped over to your wordpress blog from you link here and realized I've been missing all your posts - and thus all your poetry! I wonder why they haven't been coming through to me on blogger... I shall go back over to your wordpress blog and sign up! :) And read your poems through November!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Mystic Meandering- I'm glad to reconnect with you. It's been a tumultuous year for me as for so many others, however one upside is the well of life growth and poetry. I am truly happy that you are a part of my 'online' family. I savor all of your posts too. Andrea
