please my dear take these words to heart
for I have learned in life that it is better
to keep an open mind and heart
instead of a heart stuck in place
for you may miss the rainbow
by staying focus on the clouds
- Written for dVerse Opening to the Muse-Quadrille #16 where we are asked to write an "open" poem, either as a noun, verb, adjective, adverb or any other way you might think of. I rewrote this poem several times before I could get the words right (at least in my mind).
I like this unstuck heart. :)
ReplyDeleteGood advice!
ReplyDeleteI know a few people like that (sometimes I fear I am like that too). Sound advice in poetry form.
ReplyDeleteYes... I know those people (and by god, I'm one of those)... you don't need to chase the rainbows, just enjoy them

The danger of not really being emphatic to a loved one who is near enough to be appreciated but unwittingly ignored! Happens all the time to aging couples. Good observation Arcadia!
