[paradoxical parenthesis]

[paradoxical parenthesis]

A Poem by Frieda P

paradoxical parenthesis
gypsy wanderings,
excursions
& conceptual volition
people come,
 people stray, 
some even stay
filling a void,
 leaving one behind 
drifting footnotes
 of our lives intentions
departures,
 detours & stop signs
transgressions amidst,
 rambling digressions 
or merely deflections
 in their own deviations
we mourn, rejoice
 and make modifications
revising an alteration
 aside our own
 aberration's fancy,
forever a part of our
 shifting transmutation
within a beguiled
 metaphorical mindfulness,
transposing metamorphosis
 in profound surrender, 
teaching us to dance
 amidst raindrops
as friends, family,
 & foe flutter by ~

i love the sense i get of trying to control the paradoxical in life with the strength of parenthesis ;) your poem is full of twists and turns and self deceptions ... and the most important ..friends, family and foes flit by before we know it ... especially like that you include enemies ... some Native American cultures matched the stature of a man by the strength of his enemies .. a poem to ponder ...

And such is life--beautifully penned and an excellent read!

That's what people are meant for - to leave voids, to give everlasting pain and to teach us bitter lessons in life, because we love them and cannot get over them, be it friends, family, lover.

I also soundly agree with Mr. Jacob here when he says we are all that is left with us and that we better be good compnay for us.

Thanks for this insightful, deep write Frieda.

wow yes, it feels like this..friends, family and foes come and go...
people are here with us and then as suddenly they are gone...they die, they leave and in the end we better be good company for ourselves, because we are all that is left.

lovely, but tragically sad words here.

your pen keeps churning and burning up the pages.

I always smile when I read 'flutter by' because it is so you, it's your thing... You've honestly left me speechless, Mama F, this is simply splendid. xo
