Taking On The Day

I am surprised as to what lies inside  the gift of today that I shall open.  I can anticipate and necessitate  yet it will be what it was meant to be. A day set upon rides like a wild stallion trying to throw me under and stomping. I harness up and hunker down and ride as if another day was not to follow. I ride as if the sun would set before  I get to wherever in the universe  I am going.

You go girl! I envy your strength and your drive. If only I had that same attitude! I hope that you are on a smooth ride these days, even if at a gallop. I really like your motto. This piece is well written in form, thought, and word. I really like it alot. Hope to see you on the road someday (smile!) but I'm taking the easy route with my RV, and I don't have a horse trailor...lol...good writing, my friend! Smiles to ya', Ellen

Good Morning Del.......very nice presentation within the lines of this one with so many ways to go......love the visual of the wild stallion and the rough ride it might bring.......indeed, some days are just like that , totally out of the blue they come, yet it is strong determination that keeps us all going as long as we do not cave in..........good form, words that flow making this perfect as always. Hope all is well with you these days and that you enjoy Christmas to the fullest. God Bless, Merry Christmas, Love, Claire

A most delightful poem, Dellena. Most specifically in its appreciation that we cannot dispose ourselves to referencing our durations purely to the framework of one plane, or even planet, of our existance. God did not mean all those yearnings He gave us to end in naught. There is a keen power in the expectation of them fulfilled. In this poem you demonstrate this understanding and you deliver the true meaning of faith, instead of the blind resignation most make of it. Thus the "day" becomes timeless and our aspirations an unending pursuit among the stars (universe) until, we get to where, "I am going". In an irony, though you've shed the use of your legs, my dear, you've shed,too, the chronic social illness of self-absorption that keeps so many churning inside a space no larger than a rabbit hole. The poetic diction you have acquired has grown and the way of poetic language is becoming yours as well. You have talent but more than that, you have the moral core to give it purpose. JCH
