The Weight of the Water

Like tennis shoes

in a swimming pool,

I'd shed this weight,

If only I could.

So much said between the lines here, Diana. There are some weights (responsibilities or problems) we are unable to "untie" and take off. It takes a lot of time. You have a special talent for getting a point across with so few words. I liked this. Lydi**

Thank you, Lydi.

It would be if I would learn to proof read my comments before I post them :)

Ah the weight we carry is only made heavier when soaked with emotion. A bite of philosophy for the soul.

There is a wonderful movie called the Weight of Water starring Sean Penn who happens to play a poet in the film.

[Diana]

Thank you. That seems fitting. I hadn't heard of the movie until now.

Unusual, but effective imagery. Made me smile.

[Diana]

Thank you.
