Today, I was reminded to follow my heart. I was inspired by a poem called Advice to Myself . Here are a few lines, which prompted me to write my poem~
"Pursue the authentic - decide first
what is authentic,
then go after it with all your heart."
what is authentic,
then go after it with all your heart."
-Louise Erdrich
EMBRACE your heART
threads of green
plucked from a blustery
gray mood
search for sun's
beeswax glow
I spindle, lean and hope
to repair.....
torn
resolutions
d
o
w
n
dusty roads
I hover
searching for
star-like seeds
discover them
buried in indigo
veil as
wind's arms
germinate light-
a chance to be
reborn
in sky's cradle
I,
raised by gypsy moths
escape
through
sunlight's
web
I attempt
to stitch a
blood red
sunset
in rusty orange
paint-
waiting for
approval from
an amethyst

to repair.....torn resolutions
If it's new year resolutions that happens all the time. Old ones not reasonably met and new ones putting pressure to be addressed.But then not to expect 100% resolution on each is only fair. Even 20% resolved is good, that's progress!

I think I've got some authentic pursuits in mind, but I've been having a problem getting my heart into the game.
