Prussian Rose
By Blinded_Tiger
In a grand selective tradition,
dispatch with aging precision;
I live to keep what captivates,
beauty, unmovable moments;
maybe it never was, maybe ~
my act is not aesthetic,
but the garden remain;
It is not the same,
to bare loss is not destruction,
there is loss in transformation,
there is destruction in nothing;
I do not remember leaving Prussia.

Great piece! Turning points are often started by a chain initiated by something hard to remember in hindsight. I particularly liked the line "to bare loss is not destruction." There is profound wisdom in that. Ciao, T/S

There is always gain in loss as well. Sometimes change is hurtful, sometimes sweet or even beautiful, but always necessary... This was beautiful. Miss your depth and perception - XXOO

...this is exceptional. Brautigan said finding is losing something else, & he mourned what he lost to find this...
