This poem is well-thought out. The use of tree metaphor gives to express a sense of renewal is clever.

You have a lot of great lines in this poem, the opening and endng stanza. Very impressive!

We do have to take time out for ourselves. It is so easy to get caught up in life. I think you capture the essence of healing renewal quite well here. Bravo

Hi amada,

A very nice example of regeneration. Sometimes we must focus on only ourselves. Everyone is entitled to that on occasion. I wouldn't change a thing.

My favorite part:

Most important,
he admonishes:
No self-loathing.
No self-deprecation.

This mission,
I reckon,
has a sure touch
of something divine.

    Thank you Ray for connecting with these lines. I wanted to honor God for his insight in letting see some things I was doing wrong.

Morning finds my roots
curling in relaxed soil,
My senses morphed
into a splash of lights

Well, I really loved this poem. I had to read it over a few times to capture my thoughts.... which was fun to do. But I really loved how the poem used "plant" words (i.e., roots, trunks, soil, leaves). It really described the feeling of the person in the poem. Looks like she had a refreshing day. It was very fun to read. thanks.

Such a fabulous message for women today, I wish I had a sixer, I am in just that mood at the moment and relate to every word. I particularly feel two lines sum me up at the moment
"Let stillness
court my hands"
What a perfect way to say you are going to do nothing, I just love it. The poem just ran smoothly through the verses and I loved reading it. Excellent Kay
