There I’ve ever swinging
ask the wind to joke
while looking at the bush and shrub smile
accompanied by insect singing
star and sun friends
in the kalachakra round.
–
There I have shed tears
but also laughter
rebuked or hugged by the owner of the womb
pinched or pushed by a friend
flattered by flowers or sweetened lovers
plant hopes or reaps meaning.
–
There now staring the void
weigh black and white
measure the past and future
calculate emptiness
as a door of opportunity
to choose changes in the drama of life.
–
And let the trail stay there
the faces acting of human children’s
be a journey legacy
as a sign of the existence and none
owner’s secret
and the Sower of Love.

December concludes the year, providing plenty of time to create events and reap memories, sweet and bitter, laughter and sadness. A little time to look back and move forward again.

now december is going quickly.
Yep! I agree with you, Zain. I think, now December use another vehicle which is so fast! lol
Wonder why December is coming very quickly!
Sometimes we feel like time running so fast, right?
Do you have the same experience, my friend?
December is the best month of the year for me, although I do not like winter dear Albert
Many people like December but don’t like winter, unfortunately, we can’t shift winter to other months, right?
I totally agree with you my friend
December brings (holidays) and takes (in the US at least it isn’t warm). Your poem haunts and brings so many questions.
The picture as well, so as my wife (a therapist) always says let’s unpack the biggest suitcase first. An empty swing, first a tool of childhood, the swing. But empty, childhood is gone? The trail taking us away from what we love? Or to new things to love?
Thank you for your deep question, Doc.
For me, December is a symbol of “the door to get out of, and into”. As we have left childhood, even have through so many other doors, to accept new learning, experience, understanding, and wisdom. Childhood and all subsequent periods, along with all the feelings attached to it, have long since not swung again on that swing, but only in our memory. The trail can give or take something or vice versa, not give or take anything. It is only our mind and (or) consciousness that can decide whether we will continue to swing there or swing on the current swing.
That is a thought to chew on. Do we decide to continue to swing, or do we stop swinging and move on.
What do we lose if we stop swinging? Can we replace that with something else? Perhaps growing things in a garden (well not for me). Perhaps replacing that swing with chasing excitement (I have many friends that do).
Interesting…
You have millions of impressive thoughts and interesting questions, my friend. I think, my poetry and questions are just a trigger for us to make a deeper reflection of ourselves and everything related to it.
Thank you for your amazing response!
I love December as it soon to end the year, another challenging year for us.
Hopefully, this December will be the door to your great victory and joy to step in the following year.
my gosh…. my great victory… oh yeah!!!! yeah!!! great victory… for Maria Victoria.
Thanks
Oh. So that’s a name that has been abbreviated as Mavic. Yes, Maria Victoria, I believe that you will get some wins next year.
December is the month where I can count things that I have learned like being grateful for the good and bad of the year.
Great idea, Dee.
Indeed, the last month of a full year is the right time to evaluate and introspection. However, whatever the content of one year has passed, I think everything it is should be grateful.
I agree with you since positive thoughts are better than negative thoughts.
Hmmm… I have to agree to your opinion even though I think it’s not about positive thinking but about spiritual awareness.
I know that being a positive thinking world can make me look like I am off of my medicines.
Upz… I don’t understand what you mean this time.
I mean to say if I take care of myself, I can beat my current illnesses like diabetes, depression and anxiety.
I see… Yes, sure you can! I believe that health is related closely to the mind, so what matters is how we lead our mind wisely. Besides, we are the perfect combination of all chemical elements in the universe, so, we are the best medicine for ourselves.
I agree with ghetto media. This picture presents a very beautiful, almost surreal trail along with the swing. Yes December announces a brand new year full of hope, new challenges, new joys along with new sorrows. You sure are quite the poet Albert for evoking sentiments.
I am just someone who likes to write, and if you consider my writing to have such quality, I have to thank it, and really appreciate your highly motivating opinion.
December is the month when I met the world!
Fantastic, Ileana. It must be great, full of impressions, and very pleasing to you, right?
The empty swing photo brings back special memories. And you know about my December.
The empty swing photo is rather poetic for me, also a little romantic. lol.
Yes, I know a little about your December, hopefully, this December and so on is just a month full of blessings for you.
That is a wonderful trail! Would very much like to walk it!
I am sure that you also have trails of a beautiful life journey, my friend.
