THE REBEL IN ME

THE REBEL IN ME

                                                                  The rebel in me
                                                        wants to carry the sun away
                                                   and drop the stars from the heights
                                                  to push the clouds, change the winds 
                                                                  and stop the rain
                                               to form the pressure and provoke the storm
                                                to strike the lightning and create the thunder
                                                  to animate the thoughts, agitate the words
                                                              and disturb the silence
                                                              Forgive the rebel in me!
                                                              I am a work in progress.

Hello Bernadete.
Lightening, rain and thunder.
No one loves this more than me.
‘And I must agree with Sparrowsong.
It doesn’t sound rebel to me either.

Thank you Wilford. What do you mean it doesn’t sound rebel to you??? I can be very rebel if I have to. Big smile😁! I’ll tell you a little secret… I rebelled against work today. And it was a jolly good idea. Good to see you here. Cheers.

I’ll tell you Neville…I had way too much work and instead of freaking out, i took a pause and “Rebelled”. It worked wonders!
Good to see you here. Always.

That's good to hear B .. I tend to find if things get on top of me, I start to suffocate but a good kentigi geri to the gedan invariably works wonders .. but you got to make it a hard one .. Neville

What's to forgive Bernadette? Without that rebel you would not be you. And then where would we be? Everything you want to do here is fine by me but animate the thoughts, agitate the words is the line for me. We're all works in progress my friend. That's what makes us who we are.

If I made you smile it was worth every word of my “rebellion.” 😁
Always good seeing you here, John.

You too, keep young at heart & the rebel in you.

I am glad you’re here! B

No, you’re not late, Marion. We’ll extend the party, just for you, our special & dearest guest. Thank you for popping in. Also for leaving a beautiful & warm comment.
P.S.  I like your word “attitude”, 
I think our attitude says more than our words. Big hugs my friend. B
