mindset


my mind gathers roses, places them on my weakness
and this failing becomes disguised as lovely frailty
when in reality these feelings are self-centered weeds

I think we all are a bit self centered.

Yes, I guess we are all in this
never ending battle.
Thank you for visiting Missy.

"my mind gathers roses, places them on my weakness"

This is such a beautiful line, Cynthia. The whole poem is lovely.

Devika said...

Agree on this, Cynthia

But, it reminded of placing roses on a dead body...

because, to me -- the only 'weakness' is death..sometimes one assumes death, while living...and that to me seems the best state of 'being'

wishes,
devika

Therein lies the whole human story.

Yes – it’s amazing how powerful our minds can be in creating what we want to see i.e.
“disguised as lovely frailty”. (Would it be ‘frailty’ or ‘fragility’)? And, yes – “self-centred weeds” that get in the way of our wholeness – how very true!

Love this line - these feelings are self-centered weeds

I absolutely love the honesty in this - beautiful!

Hi Tracey-Ann thank you, sweetie,

Your words make me smile aloud the biggest smile. It's recognition that we find here or simply the acknowledgement of another's existence. For their truthfulness of sentiment of the human condition, I sincerely say thank you.

Cynthia said...

You are so kind Judith, and I have
learned much from you. Thank you.
