Bewildered Perplexed Confused
Bewildered Perplexed Confused …
Today is supposed to be packing day,
to get ready for the big move
to a new place of residence, a new home,
yet here I sit staring at the little mountain,
wondering what happened to me,
and why I am bewildered perplexed confused.
I feel the urge to cry out for help,
help to soothe my soul, my heart,
yet who do I reach out to now
I wonder, for I did reach out to
confirm my thoughts, my hopes,
and did not really get any encouragement.
I have faith in myself,
I always know within what are my truths
and am able to see what others do not,
I know when all is right in my life,
when something wished for is happening,
now I am bewildered perplexed confused.
Sure tis of my own making I cannot seem to
motivate myself to get up
and start working to organize my day,
to understand why I am feeling hurt and pain,
as if I just lost something very precious.
Is their any merit as to what is going on with me?
This I do not yet know,
I have to open my eyes, my mind,
and look again at all the words
which sent me to a glorious place,
as if a revalation enlightened my soul
and filled my heart with ever more love.

I have always liked to write.It is important to me that writing comes from my heart and soul. When writing poetry, if I do not feel a spiritual connection to what I am writing on, I will discard it and go on to something I can connect with on a spiritual level. I live in the moment, I write from the past or beyond the veil. When writing fiction I go with whatever inspires me at the moment - it could be funny, sorrowful, romantic or sometimes done with the use of colloquial language from mountain folk or other cultural regions.
I began writing content online in 2007, starting with BellaOnline - A Voice For Women, where I was the Native American Editor, Folklore & Mythology Editor, and the Appalachian Editor. I also wrote articles forThe Examiner, Daily Two Cents, and Yahoo. I am currently an author on HubPages.
Most of what I write takes a lot of research and I love it. Even if it is a fictional story, I will research for accuracy in whatever it takes to make my characters, their era, their location, etc. become realistic to the reader.
I hope you enjoy my works. Thank you for visiting.

We human beings are not particularly good with change, and as we get older we are even less able to handle massive change like moving house. All I can say is that if you look at it with promise, you will come out the other side sooner than later. Those feelings of confusion are just the mind trying to assimilate all the change. Again its not what we do by how we do it that determines our experience, so don’t judge, just go through the steps confidently and all will settle down quickly. We always have choices when faced with change, choices as to how we respond to it. Choose a fateful acceptance and all will be well. Take care.
Thank you so much, Tony. I will remember that and know I will be okay. Take care dear poet. x
