Image: Risking the Deep
for Solutions (here)
why must freedom to move be curtailed
the surge to create space is most appealing
if reasons delimiting will not make it fail
if need be to even risk going into the deep
in search of wonders not known to man
find the staircase even to delve in while asleep
afflictions are solved guided through Providence
repent and not to provoke a reaction
good feelings are not subject to sanctions
under no pretext but on proper reflection
good intentions should not be abandoned
Tricia at d'Verse : Poetics - take a risk

Poetry and image work beautifully together! (I won't be risking those stairs down into the deep.)
ReplyDeleteBeautifully written, Hank!
ReplyDelete"afflictions are solved guided through Providence"
ReplyDeleteGood intentions, may the never be abandoned or stairwells. Support is sometimes there and yet we choose to flail. Why is that? Thoughtful piece.
ReplyDelete'good feelings are not subject to sanctions' - I agree! I love the way you've wrapped this up with words of true wisdom, Hank.
ReplyDeleteGreat verse Hank, I'm remaining in the shallow end at present.
ReplyDeleteHope you;re well.

When we go deep we don't always know what we will find...
ReplyDeleteI like this line--good feelings are not subject to sanctions--I've met so many people who have felt bad for the things they enjoyed.
ReplyDeleteHank,
ReplyDeleteThe second stanza really stood out for me, spoke in a way that resonates with my belief that, as Shakespeare said, "there is a divinity that shapes our ends," and I think that our creative efforts put us in touch with that deep core, when we risk it.

I think we mostly go right, if we keep to good intentions.
ReplyDeleteThis is gorgeously rendered, Hank!💝💝
