#42 - He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery. Samuel Smiles

MEDICINAL CHOICE

So much in life from which to choose
confuses and bewilders.
And yet when life inflicts a bruise,
we look to our rebuilders.
They put in place a faultless scheme
to overcome our losses.
But blinded eyes ignore the theme
that weighs upon our crosses.
The only way to rise above
a life of disappointment
is finding what you truly love
to be your healing ointment.

AN APOLOGY AND A RETURN

I apologize for my three-month absence from The Magnified Muse. A series of detours removed me from the path on which I had once lovingly walked. Redirecting myself back toward the right road has been less difficult that I thought it would be. It is here, in this magical world of words, that I truly belong. The Magnified Muse will return with a new poetry prompt quote on Thursday, April 28, 2011.
