Every Thursday I share a poem with you that I love, or one I’ve written. This is one I wrote for a friend recently who mentioned he felt like a failure. It’s called A Different Kind of Attention. I hope you enjoy.
A Different Kind of Attention
When you wake up one morning and
everything you have ever loved
has left you.
When there are sirens shrieking
outside and no one lying
next to you
to say goodnight.
When all you can do is spin and swirl
another glass of whiskey,
or wine. When the
light on your phone
is yet another message
from home—
what have you
done wrong
this time?
Then.
Pay a different kind of attention.
Still your heart.
Calm your mind.
Take one deep breath in
and then out, and then in
again.
Do that
five hundred
times.
Until all you hear
is…
Come alive, my love
to what is infinite
within you, to
what you saw that night
when you held my hand
and looked into my eyes.
That light
shining back to you
from your dark past, from
your bright future.
Do you remember?
It is not that
you can achieve world peace or
make everyone happy
or even
bring your love back
home.
You can’t. We can
both stop
trying
so hard
but somewhere, there
is a bright light
to bend this dim path.
Somewhere.
Not far. Not out there
in the distance, but
close. So close.
I saw it in you.
I held your chin.
I wiped your eyes.
I told you
to look up.
Unearth that treasure,
my love. Unbind it.
Unfurl it.
What a precious,
hidden and beautiful
gift
you have been hiding all this time.
Simply beautiful! You are a true gift Allison. Thank you!
“What a precious,
hidden and beautiful
gift
you have been hiding all this time.”
Short, crisp, vivid images of sorrow, with hope and promise at the end.
Lovely.
Keep your Thursdays for poetry. Your poetry is like a salad without the dressing, nuts, and raisens. We could use more lettuce and spinach in our life. And, maybe a sweet potato or two.

I never use to believe in spell casting until i met Lord Zuma a powerful spell caster who helped me to be a happy person again. i reside in USA. After 4 years of Broken marriage, my husband left me with two kids. I felt like my life was about to end and i almost committed suicide, i was emotionally down for a very long time. Thanks to a Great spell caster called Lord Zuma which i met online on one faithful day when I was browsing through the internet, i came across a lot of testimonies about this particular Great spell caster how he has helped so many people. he has helped people to bring back their Ex lover, some testified that he restores womb, cure cancer and other sickness, and so on. I also came across a testimony, it was about a woman called Sandra, she testified about how his spell made her to be pregnant after so many years of bareness and at the end of her testimony she dropped Lord Zuma’s email address. After reading all these, i decided to give it a try and i contacted him and explained my problem to him and he assured me that in less than 48 hours, my husband will call me and beg for forgiveness but i thought it will not work. When he had finished casting the spell, the next day my husband called me and he was begging for forgiveness just as Lord Zuma said. This is not brain washing and after the spell has been cast, i realized that my husband love me like never before and the spell caster opened him up to know how much i love him and how much love we need to share. We are even happier now than before. Lord Zuma is really a gifted man and i will not stop publishing him because he is a wonderful man. If you have a problem and you are looking for a real and a genuine spell caster to solve all your problems contact Lord Zuma now on spiritualherbalisthealing@gmail.com or just visit https://spiritualherbal.blogspot.com and see so many he has helped that are testifying about his good work. He will help you solve all your problems. Once again thank you Lord Zuma for your good deeds. His whatsapp number +1 506 800 1647
Best Way to Get Your Ex Lover Back Fast Even If Your Situation Seems Hopeless!. I just got my husband back through the help of genuine love spell caster Lord Zuma. My name is Emily Sarah am from Tx,USA. My husband left me for another woman, This was just 3 years of our marriage. The most painful thing is that I was pregnant with our second baby. I wanted him back. I did everything within my reach to bring him back but all was in vain, I wanted him back so badly because of the love I had for him, I begged him with everything, I made promises but he refused. I explained my problem to my friend and she suggested that I should rather contact a spell caster that could help me cast a spell to bring him back , I had no choice than to try it. I messaged the spell caster called Lord Zuma, and he assured me there was no problem and that everything will be okay before 12 hours. He cast the spell and surprisingly 12 hours later my husband called me. I was so surprised, I answered the call and all he said was that he was so sorry for everything that had happened He wanted me to return to him. He also said he loved me so much. I was so happy and went to him that was how we started living together happily again. thanks to Lord Zuma . if you are here and your Lover is turning you down, or your husband moved to another woman, do not cry anymore, contact Lord Zuma for help now..
