What an excellent message you give us in
this very interesting and fantastic poem.
I love the uniqueness of the descriptions
and the rhythm and flow of your words.
It is true, we cannot follow the trappings
in this world, but make new our steps.
Change is good. That is what people like
you and me think.
Very enjoyable.
My best to you, my friend.

Comment from judiverse
An excellent poem. The rhyme is great, and your word choices are fine, too. You have an excellent thought that sometimes people get trapped into their familiar patterns, but change can be good. Although there's a tendency to hesitate over trying something new, if you do it may bring a sense of freedom. You advise to take time and be patient if you do set off on a new path. Good idea and well presented. judiverse

Comment from Carole Rosa
Pierre, You gave me a very nice review, so I decided to stop by your profile to read a piece or two. The way I see this poem, it has mental penetration with reflections of danger, regret, and hope. Very nice work. Carole

Thank you for the kind words. Thank you for taking the time to read the poem and commenting. How is your daughter and grand daughter? I read one of your other poems

Pierre, Thank you for the reply. My granddaughter is 33 years old this month. She has 2 baby girls making me a great grandmother, but I've only seen them by photograghs. My daughter has cancer and is still a drug addict. She's 50 years old. It boggles the mind, doesn't it. Thank you for asking. Carole

Im 55 and remained clean and sober for 25 years. I now have a social drink occasionally. I'm sorry she has not found the joy of sobriety. I'm sorry for you too.

The path to love should have bridges, not chasms to clear by jumping. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for an easy read.

Comment from cheyennewy
Hi pierre,
The picture you chose is stunning and it isn't easy to look away. I suppose this is what a person with an addiction feels everyone sees when they look at him. I think you are most brave to write this poem for all to read as I am sure what you are going through is painful. You have penned a lyrical rhyme with descriptive words and an even flow. The theme is sad but at the same time hopeful. Well done and the best to you, chey

Comment from Lylise
Not as easy as it sounds, is it? These words, though probably rehearsed and performed for yourself, are still good words and you have assembled them beautifully. Yes, I am aware they are at times just pure bullshit but if you have, indeed, chosen the road less traveled then I wish you well. This was well written and you did expose yourself to these masses which is commendable. Great Pic. Good luck to you. Well done. Lylise

Comment from mermaids
Patience, the teacher do not forsake is a great line. Getting healthy from addiction requires patience and lots of it. Your words capture the struggle of the illness and the hope that leads to a healthy life.

Comment from Spiritual Echo
The last line is the best...somehow sums it up, enobles the frayed dialogue inbetween, the inner conversations that demands release.
Great stuff.

Comment from tinams
I must admit to being first drawn to the artwork you chose. The picture grabs the reader and says read this. I am so glad I did it is an amazing poem and I found it very inspirational. I particularly empathised with:
'Don't rush this gentle path you take,
Patience, the teacher, do not forsake.
Sun will rise and sun will set,
Life goes on, you will not fret.
For you are where you are supposed to be,
Just concentrate on being free'
I sometimes try to rush my recovery and my new path in life but must learn patience now I have chosen to spread my wings.
Well written :) Tina

Comment from Jeanie Mercer
This is a good poem, offering encouragement to someone plagued by addiction. It's a hard problem to deal with, but you get "A" for effort. I like the image of the ball and chain crumbling to dust. Best regards, Jeanie Mercer
