A Suitcase of Troubles

… full of heavy-weighted remnants.

She left behind a suitcase of troubles,

full of heavy-weighted remnants

from a deep trove of past mistakes.

.

So began a journey of brand new travels

leading somewhere else. A rare chance

to navigate uncharted waters; lochs and lakes.

.

A rare chance to think the unthinkable,

sink the unsinkable, to dance a dance

that casts aside what time forsakes.

Tim Grace

A first impression has a lasting effect - it makes a notable difference. In a subtle way that’s who I am as a poet. A ‘first impression’ looking for the gentle ‘twist’ that draws attention to a novel observation.
