Description
Wisdom
When I have ceased to break my wings
Against the faultiness of things,
And learned that compromises wait
Behind each hardly opened gate,
When I can look life in the eyes,
Grown clam and very coldly wise,
Life will have given me the Truth,
And taken in exchange-my youth.
*Sara Teasdale
``````````````````````````````
The poem is for myself. And if it fits you, then it's for you too.
My health is not good, never has been.
I've wasted too much time
breaking my wings, for things I can't change.
For all those I love and have lost. You are in my heart forever.
Life is today and I'm going to live it, with no regrets.
Life is right now.
Thank you for looking and many hugs to you all. You all are very special people.
Now lets hear alot of nose from the comments. :O)

Very lovely work here Leah!!
Great expression and a lovely poem. Thank you for sharing :D
I know what you mean Leah my health isn't good at all. Had very hard times but I live today I enjoy the things I still can do enjoy a tullip in my garden the spring I enjoy every day the way it comes. Huggs back to you
A character have a great expressive face...!! very excellent environment...!!! beautiful illumination...!!
Wonderful image, very emotional. At first I thought "Why so sad?", but your notes say it all.
The poem has a cynical ring to it - not untrue, though! - but your own words are also wise, without any coldness. Let us never forget that life is worth living!
Leah, this is beautiful. I'd never heard that particular quote before, but it's so very true. We have a glass sliding door out to our patio, and the birds hurl themselves against it unless I keep the blinds down....so I keep the blinds down most of the time. I know the part about broken wings....in many aspects of life it's so true. Some times it hurts to care too much.
Beautiful work..such wise and truly spoken words!!
Beautiful picture and eloquent prose!
Nicely Done!
Wonderful poem and wonderful render! Bravo!
Just a gorgeous work and words! .... I,too, have 'been there,done that', and I'm 'guessing' many, many have, also? .... I wrote a poem, "I don't know why" sometime back I posted here .... acceptance doesn't mean you 'like' it, just that you 'acknowledge' it .... PEACE to you and your loved ones .... brian.
Great job!!!!
Right, comments you want, is it? Well, the image itself shows someone who is definitely not accepting the status quo. Despite the words below (which indicate a resigned acceptance), I see a natural born fighter, someone who will soldier on against all adversity. There is sadness, but there is still the sprit, the centre of self remaining. They may try to break your back on the wheel but you'll return, stronger than ever. Very powerful stuff you have created here.
eccellente lavoro complimenti

You did a fantastic job on her expression! Great image!
Ah my dear Leah, I understand the part about coldly wise, but still looking for the calm. Peace to you and prayers for your health. {{Hugs}} Beautiful work with such sad emotion!
Dearest Leah. Wisdom is a painful thing we learn mostly through pain and loss. Your words come at a time for me that I, too, need to stop beating my wings against that which I cannot change. Anger and bitterness take away all the sweetness that can still be found in life and loving. A preciious image and wise words to strengthen the heart and the spirit. :o) CC
