Free Your Mind

Cleansing with purity and pride anxiety waving a final good-bye. Not to hide inside negativity that always takes the best of feeling free. Feeding a soul on sunshine's gold moments embracing the "Ah's" breathing out the Oh no's. Simply allow your heart to pause with life calmly  unbreakable statues in gardens of easy to be. Fretting and chains won't be able to gain hold, or promise to try you to old. Sanctuaries built all blame, shame, tears and guilt; penned to end this verse shattered scattered out to the universe. When you're about to toe on to a hot stone jump it's heat to your pleasure zone.

I love your rhymes and alliteration (i.e. "shattered scattered"). In places your poem is reminiscent of e.e. cummings, ("in gardens of easy to be"). The message is uplifting (all your heart to pause with life calmly) and soothing. Well done!

Hi Deni, You are so good at writing free verse, something I am still working on. The language in this well written piece is fresh and begs to be read more than once. In my life I have found to be positive is a treasure which negates all feelings of woe. That is how your poem speaks to me. An excellent free verse with a powerful and uplifting message. Best wishes, cheyenne

DeniMari “negativity that always, takes the best of feeling free”, what a line to go by. I understand the dynamic of not letting the irregular overshadow the irreplaceable. I wonder if it is a general platitude of life. Sanctuaries, metaphor for mental health, that is, finding the silver lining, devalueing the negative- “shattered?” I guess the build up was too great to overcome thus the last verse- that is, if in doubt knock boots? A great suggestion. I understand pleasure is a wide defined word, but it also leads to the respite. An interesting and guiding view of life. I presume a specific issue leads to it, but it is generally a fine anecdotal piece.

Deni, Interesting take on eliminating stress, living pleasure. You scattered your problems out to the universe. Letting it 'go'. If this works you should bottle it. Earth needs so much help. The sea life suffering is so difficult. Good job, Dellena
