I left my dresser-drawer slightly open, |
I LOVE the gentleness that your voice has in this, and the reminder that letting go doesn't always mean we lose everything. We can gain ourselves back from whatever we anchored ourselves to. At first, I thought this was about the passing of seasons, that "flowery incense" resembled spring. I also saw it as winter reassuring itself that memories don't always have to be "cold and heavy", and that moving on and accepting the passage of time would grant it freedom. But I also liked where others went with this poem, a love that must move on because remembering and even wishing to be taken back in time would only weigh this person down more. |

To be honest, I was shocked with how everyone took this poem. For the first time since I started writing, I was successful in conveying my message. And in this case like your comment, both of them(Letting go and spring)!! |
