Poetics: Change is turning?

chapter of my life. by Menachem Krinsky
chapter of my life. by Menachem Krinsky



When there is a restless stirring inside me
that callsandcalls, leaving no message —
but turns over upon itself, overandover,
waiting for me to decode the signals,
urging me to remember how novel
boldness can be, while not
misreading it as in the
past, a new chapter
may be ready to be
read, or written -
passive or
active -
change
is
?


Written for Poetics — ChaNGe & TuRns — at dVerse Poets hosted this week by Claudia Schoenfeld, who shared with us her freeway photography, and asking us to consider changes or turns in whatever form we chose.

    smiles...i have felt that turning within...pay head to it, let it birth in its time, feed it, nourish it...and change when it calls...smiles.

    oh we just know in a way when it's time for a new chapter in our life...somehow life turns the page for us, sometimes we do it ourselves..

    ..changes will provide us hints to something about to come and happen in our life... and later everything will be clear to us by the shift of another change... happy new year... smiles..

    My soul spirals back
    through the past
    Hoping to climb
    above it
    on a higher plane.
    I don;t know
    If that is possible,
    but, it seems
    a reasonable goal.

    Since change is inevitable, one may consider and reflect yet still be bold. Very nicely said, Lydia.

    Best wishes for the New Year.

BEGINNING IN 2014 I will reply to only occasional comments here, while appreciating every visit and all comments! My reason is to enable me to utilize that time to read and comment on your blog posts instead! If/when I get more organized I may later return to replying to comments here, but one of my New Years resolutions is to spend more time at your sites: reading, enjoying, learning! Thank you for understanding.

If your blog is associated with a Google+ account, I may not be able to visit you from your namelink. I do not wish to join Google+ and the site sometimes requires that I do so in order to read/comment on posts there.
