It was hidden
like a speck
of dust
in the wind,
unsure if it
was meant
to surface,
causing emotions
to run wild
in a frenzy
of ambivalence,
but its arrival
is valuable
for all tomorrows

Your words are always so thought provoking, Ben. Thanks for your comment!
Although whether my response to your poem appeared relevant is another matter. As Binky remarked, “this one can be taken in many ways.” 🙂
Well, whether it is or isn’t, you make me think and it hurts. 😉 The fact of many interpretations is one special aspect of poetry, don’t ya think?
For sure. I regularly recall John Ciardi’s statement:
“A poem is a machine for making choices.” (from “How Does a Poem Mean”.)
Love that quote! 🙂
Another of his which I like is:
“Poetry lies its way to the truth. “
I like that one, too!
I guess this one could be taken in many ways. Sometimes you don’t want those things to come back.
I think you’re right, Binky, because what I had in mind, no one has mentioned, so it’ll be my secret. 🙂 I’ll add to your comment with, some things are welcomed back and some aren’t and we have to learn to cope…
Your words always bring out emotions dear Lauren.. Sending Love your way for your new Week xxx ❤
Thanks, Sue, sometimes I wish I had less of them (emotions). 🙂 I hope you have a wonderful week, too, and I’m sending love and light your way, as well! ♥ xo
You come up with some profound thoughts in your poems Lauren.
Thanks, Ian, that’s nice to hear!
Very thought provoking. I will probably spend the day mulling over it, trying to decipher that secret!
Thanks, Michelle! I love the fact that there can be so many different interpretations. 🙂 ♥
Hi Lauren, tried to find your post on the missing avatar, nothing showing up, so had to comment here hope you get it worked out.
Hi Ian, I deleted that post because I figured it out. 🙂 Sorry for the confusion, but thanks for stopping by and have a terrific Tuesday!
That is a profound find, Lauren.
Thanks, Raj! This is subject to interpretation. 🙂
Open for interpretation Lauren, then I submit the joys and pleasures, of finding that which was once lost, but now found.
That’s beautiful, Ian! I wish I could say it’s spot on with my inspiration, but unfortunately, your idea is on a happier note. 🙂
I hope my happier one didn’t detract from your beautiful words Lauren, best wishes for a beautiful weekend.
Not at all; isn’t it better to think happier? 🙂 But poetry is also evoked from life experiences that are the opposite. This isn’t bad though, Ian, just more on the somber side…but I’m happy that Friday is here and the weekend is around the corner. So have a good one! 🙂
