Inspired by What do you see #257
initially
we seek answers from the elders
then fight for our own understanding
every step learned
every thought mulled
every decision made
ultimately becomes enmeshed
in our mind, body, and soul
hoping it brings us what we’ve always longed for
I Write Her 
a deep ponderous piece, Susi.

No matter how often we can be told that the flame is hot, we each must touch it to find out for ourselves… Lovely poem!

Absolutely right my friend. Though our elders may guide us till a certain point in time- we have to find our own truths in life. Beautifully written. Thanks for joining in.
