Reads like a new beginning kind of.
I like how it ended. I liked the part where the mission was stated. It pictured something like a turnaround in my mind.
That part all the way to the end read strong and full of determination.
Much love,
Justmade.

Yes ustmade. I had eye surgery, again, on December 3rd. It was a great turmoil, still in recuperation. I can read and write only for short periods. You can read in between words; great gift.

Have a great week my friend and thanks for your ever encouraging comments.

Thank you Ana. I was missing you already. Best of health to you.
Comment from sakha
It enjoyed your poem immensely. I think I need to take some of that advice myself. I had a bit of trouble understanding some of it though. I would guess from the picture that the "trunk" and "leaves" are alluding to a tree of sorts, but I'm not sure what it means.

Thank you for the review. The "trunk" and "leaves" are in relation to the contest title: "A Fruitful Tree."
Comment from Eternal Muse
What a beautiful and eclectic piece. I love the challenge in it and the apt use of free verse. A stunning picture which sets the mood. Excellent use of metaphors. My favorite lines:
Morning finds my roots
curling in relaxed soil,
My senses morphed
into a splash of lights.
This was a refreshing piece of poetry!

Comment from giftid3
Thank you for sharing your thoughts, view, concept and inspiration with the rest of us.
Although I have never read the book, Comfort secrets for busy women, I did find your work inspiring.
The imagery your words painted gave way to a determination to complete what one started, to not be hard on oneself, and to go with the flow where and when it suited, to always step out of ones comfort zone and be all you were created to be.
All in all, there is much to glean from your work. Thanks again and many blessings to you

Your words humble me, giftid3 because I try to put in practive myself. it's no easy, but I am trying. Thank you, giftid3.

You are right there. It's not easy, but the more we practice it, the better we become. The most important thing I have learnt in life, is to not be too hard on oneself if you fall, falter, trip, make mistake, err, sin. It is human nature to go in opposition of all that is good and godly and so we do struggle. But if the heart is determined and focused, we can overcome and achieve all we have desired to attain. Never give up no matter how much it takes out of you, always get back up and go at it again. Many blessings to you

amada, you've now solved my "what should I read next" problem. If it inspires work as beautiful and peaceful as this, it is certainly a must read. I think I'll also take your advice tomorrow.

Thank you, Jackie. I liked your comments to that line. Blessings to your hands as well.
Comment from Journey woman
Ah...spoken like a true mother. I think mothers and grandmothers will certainly relate to that perfect time when all must be released and relaxtion, time spent for oneself is all that is on the agenda for the day. Your poem may even give permission for some of us that find it hard to take that very necessary time. Good work, message clearly depicted, words rhymed and reasoned. JW

Oh yes, us women expect too much of ourselves. I am one of those perfectionists; I need a lot of my own medicine. Nice to meet you, Journey woman.
Comment from mpalaske
Pretty picture! However the orange on green is hard to read.
Hmmmm... What can I say? Seems like a lot of stanzas just to do what every guy does with beer, pretzels, and football on the TV.
