All My Life

all my life

 

 

it’s inexplicable to me

how the juxtaposition

of light and shade

stay as constant as

the winters

and springs

the summers

and falls

of all my life.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for the warmth of your words. So deeply appreciated!

[Annette Pisano-Higley]

How resonant and profound your expertly chosen words, image and account of awe are in your musing of this truth. So much is understood in the telling lines and felt in between them. Here is the cyclical nature of life, the chiaroscuro nature of it, the dark and the light of it…and the strength of we who traverse it. Gorgeous write- brava my dear friend.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Annette. My best to you and Pebs, always!

Thank you, John. Good to see you again. Many blessings!

[Coyote Poetry]

You are welcome, dear Kelly. I hope you are enjoying the days of Summer.

[Temperance]

A short poem with a big message. So nicely expressed and the perfect picture for it. It gets down to opposites when you think about it. Nice write!

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your kindness is much appreciated. Thank you!

[Temperance]

You’re welcome!

It's all apart of a master creative plan I believe. What else could possibly be the answer? 😀

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you, Frankie!

Happy Birthday Kelly... You are a Poet for all Seasons.... and every Reason to Juxtaposition your Moods when Spring becomes Summer and later... Autumn becomes Winter. Someday we will lie down in the Snow and make Angel Wings and then we will fly away to other Galaxies . gently, Pat

[Kelly Scheppers]

I truly and sincerely look forward to that day, Pat. Thank you, my friend!

Whoa… I hope that our Spirits will Soar as Eagles to Mountain Tops where Children can live Free and float with Swans until Dinner Time… Amen … Pat

Everything is black and white at the end of it all brother, dark and light; we’re blind until we pass-then the light. i really like it.

[Kelly Scheppers]

It is the light we are drawn to, right? Thank you for acknowledging that.

[Neville]

poetry dont get much more perfect than this .............. N

[Kelly Scheppers]

You are such a dear to me, Nev. Consider yourself hugged, my friend! x

i like how you managed to place 'inexplicable' and 'juxtaposition' in the same thought
very interesting write ... A+
the concentration of my art is 'the movement of light and shadows'
i like how we are all the same just different

heard through the net thingy you had a birthday
congratulations on another successful orbit of the sun!

[Kelly Scheppers]

It literally makes me crazy at times, how quickly some of my poems come to me. It's like I can't write fast enough. I wrote this to compliment the photo above, which I took with my cell phone. I've always loved the contrast of shadow and light. It simply fascinates me to be able to capture it. As for the use of the two words in the same train of thought, that's exactly how it came to me. See, I told you. It makes me a little crazy...but in a good way! Thank you, Keith. Looks like my next orbit of the sun will include some rather interesting poets that I will take delight in getting to know! ; )

[Chris Shaw]

A beautiful image Kelly which is a perfect match for your words. Light and shade the story of life. Hopefully the light outweighs the shade. Happy birthday to you. All the best from across the pond.
