I am letting go

Posted by QueenElf on January 23, 2009 - 17:40
from the ABC set Waking The Muse

I am slowly loosening my grip on the affairs of the world.

Aging more each day, my mind and body are feeling tired
My interests are now centred inwards, no longer inspired.

Love is something that matters no more to me
Only in the pages of the past, the tale maybe
No regrets, no reason to read on and see
Each moment of the decline now that I’m free
Lost in echoes of the wonderful mystery,
You are my only last, bright memory.

Heartfelt and inspiring,crisp and clean.
Simplicity at its greatest.

Thanks for the comment. I think I am getting to the age when complex id interesting, but not for me.

Not quite there yet myself QueenElf....but I think it's coming.

I think it's deeply sad - you have so much great creativity inside you - keep looking out!

I agree with Lynne, the simplicity is very effective!

Thanks for all the comments. Did anyone get the first line down?
I'm being creative with painting & card-making. But I haven't stopped writing quite yet.

I agree with tcook, you have great creativity inside indeed and I think the best is still to come.xx
