Dear Jim :) thanks for your comment, I was interested to see what response it would get (if any), it was a strange little write lol never has a poem I've written so felt like it was written by somebody/something else!

I logged in last night to catch up and post a poem about my daughters then this screamed through!! It's so good to see it read with the filter of another (if that makes sense) for me (I think lol) it was about forgiveness, seeing the blessons in painful situations, understanding the perfection of EVERYTHING, as it helps create where we are, who we are, now. I learnt to hold my tongue during an emotionally abusive relationship and because of that I now understand what communication can be without words :)

But, wow I love all that you read here and am honoured you bookmarked it, thank you dear man much love Beki xxx ps belated congrats on the chair, I know you'll do a fab job :) xxx

Thanks Al, I almost want to apologise for walloping you :) but I won't. I think one of my aims when I write (even if I'm not always conscious of it) is to do what you say, pack it in :) say a lot with as few words as possible, I'm fond of haiku for exactly that reason :) of course I can ramble too and love that as well, thank for your comment, much love Beki xxx
ps yes I always find Jim's comments considered, smart and extremely useful :) xxx

To be honest scribbler I don't know what my intent was with this piece. I read it after it was written and it felt like reading someone else's work! Weird :) so I guess I'm as much a reader of this one as you guys, I do have my interpretation (see my reply to Jim's comment) but I had no solid idea I was hoping to represent I just wrote the words down when they came knocking (rather loudly lol), thanks for your comment, I guess it's good, if sometimes uncomfortable, to have a poem leave you needing time to sort a response? I'm grateful you stopped to tell me that :) much love Beki xxx

Ian, 'a picked up write' you're spot on with this :) I'm finding more and more of my writing is feeling like this. much love to you dear man xxx

Darling Jayne, if you were late with your comment I'm exceedingly late with my reply lol sorry honey, I wish I could find more time to post and comment and reply and just generally communciate here, but the girls and my life seldom allow it :) all good though :) fab to see you when I do :) Glad you liked this one, always happy to knock you off your feet ;) I've enjoyed coming back to this one, some distance from a poem can sometimes be good, it feels more like 'mine' now lol. LOve and HUGE hugs xxx

Thanks Rosina, I appreciate your take on this one, much love Beki xxx

Shirl, I love haiku too, write them often :) and always enjoy the challenge of packing as much into as few words as possible. It's so interesting that you and Rosina found some humour here :) I never thought it might be read in that way, wonderful there can be so many different interpretations to just a few lines :) much love and many thanks Beki xxxx
