Choices Made
Decisive Deeds
Tween rattlesnakes and grains of sand
I count bad choices on one hand
Fell for the lies, sold second chances
in redirected happenstances
When troubles unforgettable
live in the hypotheticals
Creating scenes of spectacle
that others deem acceptable
Rebuilding kingdoms after the fall
forgiving faults both big and small
Choosing to stay or find paradise
while heaven’s gates are open wide

WARNING. I will be tapping into one of your favorite creative tensions: The absurdity of humans worshipping their glowing rectangles as if they were tiny oracles. There’s something deliciously poetic about that contradiction, and it lends itself beautifully to an instructive proviso.

*** I'm keen to republish the interviews I did for my series with Vocal creators. It's been a few years and I thought it might be nice to revisit these wonderful conversations. I'll be releasing them one at a time for a few weeks/months.

another great one, Kelli
Another one for gem pot, Kellie. I found it haunting, but maybe that was because the image was good, but scary. It definitely sets the scene.
There is a beautiful sense of indecision here... that feeling of perhaps beiing on the cusp of making a positive decision but feeling uncertain because of bad choices in the past! stunning piece and love the image choice, Kelli!
Fabulous!!! Love your inspirational poem!!!❤️❤️💕
