C arefully I walk this edge
balancing eternally between
my sacred nurturing soul
and my burning hearts’s needs
know I will not be confined
staying always in motion
an eternal ebb and flow
perpetual like the seas
my spirit is amorphous
bathed in the rays of change
expanding unrestrained
seeking purpose and freedom
I will not be defined
my nature is fluid
my essence is turbulent
deep and ever changing
my heart in constant surge
ignores the prevailing winds
seeking balance that is mine
to change at need — at will
you need not seek me
for I am always here
but do not name me
I will not be yours

It is a strength to be true to our self. This is so beautiful Rob! I love the direction the image took you!
Thank you Carrie…!
“I will not be defined.” Love that line, my philosophy for most of my life. Beautiful write, Rob.
Thank you Helen… 🙂
Rob, I like the manipulation you did on the image. The nebulous nature of being will always be a mystery to me. You’ve woven the mystery well here.
Thank you Lisa… 🙂 …the mystery within the mystery!
oooo…really enjoyed this one. In motion is balance. 🙂

I love the feel of this. It makes me feel I’m out on that beam tilting left and right to hold on as only “I” can. Beautiful
Thank you Susie! Been feeling philosophical recently.
This was a fun read here, Rob. Mostly negative guy, but that won’t matter much, “you need not seek me . . . I will not be yours.” and not defined or confined. I’m trying to figure a person I know who is sort of like this.
Thanks for peeking in on me, I have been under the gun lately and so this week I am mostly answering folk who left their mark.

I know several, but their nature seems honest! I understand bring busy — but it’s only recall for me… I do only my writing and my art these days. 74 and retired! Hanging on long as I can.
Nice piece of work, Rob. Thank you
Thank you… 🙂
Took me a long time to understand this and come to embrace it.
“I will not be defined
my nature is fluid
my essence is turbulent
deep and ever changing” is an amazing proclamation!
Thank you Debi!
Ah, we freedom-lovers!
