Oh, I like it. I like the "twist" at the end, as well. I was not expecting it, given the serene scene you painted leading up to it. Well done.

The only thing I might suggest--idly suggest, if you'd like to consider it--concerns these lines:

shifting in the wind
blowing sighs
through the sandy, rocky terrain.


For the bold line, could this be re-worded perhaps? First, it is a bit redundant to say "blowing sighs"; second, wind "sighing" and "blowing" relies on rather dull, predictable verbs to use describing wind's actions. Perhaps something more terse, original? I will not make specific suggestions, since this is, in fact, your poem.

Other than that, this is pretty good, madam.

Hmmm, I'd agree with ya Zip --- except you appear to be taking the blowing and sighing out of context, as depicted it illustrates what is causing the sound and helps the reader become a part of the scene, IMHO. Without it, would you have been so easily lulled?

Difficult to make?

Tear-it-out-by the roots

An-a-lyze
Imbedded lies
Deeply ingrained beliefs -----

Basis
Creates stasis
Constipation of self-esteem

Blocked
Marred and hindered
By impaction of long ago implanted seed.

Sprouting
Spouting
Regurgitation of another’s creed.

Till the soil of the mind
Thoughts ground to a halt
‘Til blessed blank limitless possibility emerges

Surges through the system
With a mind boggling
WHAT IF?

Can I?
Why not
Exercise my will to exorcise thoughts no longer applicable?

Mulching
Mind’s Muck
Into a mass of Matter that Matters to You.

Now, I'm curious - what's the rest of this guy's life like? Is he a control freak in every other aspect of his life? Hmmmmm....... curiouser and curiouser --- humans - odd beings.

Consumed by thoughts is like drowning at times, panic attacks are very aptly described uncontrolled thoughts running amok and taking one's very breath. At times in life, death does seem the only available release, uNTIL you let go and find yourself floating or washed up on a shore of what next??????

Within the simple dwells the complex, ya never know what you'll stumble across if you just simply roll with it.

Come on Kace, either pop 'em with that 2 x 4 of self worth or show us how gratifying it can be to be sooo flippin patient with a self-indulgent blood sucker. I keep wincing here trying to find a bright side to playing with a rattlesnake when the medicinal use for snake venom's already been discovered!

My kids used to ask if they were more black or white? My answer was always the same - Is there a difference? You are human - no greater or lesser than any other being - the choice is yours.

laugh You're learning! Sorry, I've jumped the gun with my questions before too and felt a tad bit silly afterward.

Kace, actually, I'm surprised at my reaction. You presented this very well and I'm actually finding myself curious as to WHAT will happen next, dah-duh-duhnnnnnnn............
