They said to let go
of brutal resentment
focus on this moment
inhale love and trust
(children laughing)
exhale sullen memories
(Retribution 101)
or drive to the first
beach on the left.

a day at the beach can lift even the most sorrowful of hearts... hope I get to have one of those soon. great write
"inhale love and trust,
exhale sullen memories."
Nice mantra to follow.
So hard not to feel bitter at times too, especially with good reason to be but, in the end, as with anger, it just destroys the person who carries it. No matter how hard it is, sometimes it's (finally) so good to let go. Liberating, in fact.
Love your works Laurie.
Sun and the beach heal all!
good advice you can forgive and not forget or you can just let it go so it doesn't eat you alive.
Love the second poem too.
ha the beach does much to help me find my rhythm again...
I'll take the beach (smiles) great reminders here.
oh yeah, if all else fails drive to the beach on the left.
Sounds like good advice.
I loved this perfect little gem of a poem, Laurie! I love the water, for giving me a sense of peace.
Some solutions to problems are there for the taking, the beach, a walk in the country, looking at the night sky...help is always at hand.
I like this! Is it too late to start the IGWRT challenge?
Nice. Nature has great power to heal.
well done! nice way you've combined things here Laurie and I too like how you've used nature as the great healer she is ...
beach sounds easiest! K.
I'm in need of that beach on the left in my life. Great stuff. Loved the construction.
I love the beach to release and look ahead and be refreshed and renewed. Love the write thank you for stopping by.
Blessings
nicely done...especially like..."sullen memories"..thanks for sharing Laurie
The beach is good.
A great philosophy to live by! Well done!
I loved your poem, and the optimism in it. I'm glad there are still people like you around. As for myself, I find it very hard to be optimistic about anything these days.
I love the upbeat nature of your poetry. You have a way of turning the sad and "sullen" into a positive instruction.
A dose of sunny sky is always the wisest choice..Jae ;)
I do love this one! Yes, the beach on the left! I do so want to inhale all that is good and exhale all the yuk.
SO much incredible writing here. But I stop here to say I am grateful for the "first beach on the left"...even though it is 400 miles away. Thanks for stopping by at my place. xo
