A different form for you but I like it. I also like the message you present. There comes a time when we have to leave behind the bitter harvest and move on, begin anew. Well done.

This was such a personal piece that I really admired Ingrid. You told of your past and how now you were going to start anew, what a message for all of us. As I was watching Meet the Robinsons last night, such a great movie, I was reminded of the motto: Keep Moving Forward.

A lovely write, thank you for sharing dear.

God bless you and your family.

Yes God sees everything and whatever
wrong that others do, they will pay the price.
A sad touch with a note of postiveness..

Wonderfully revitalizing for the mind and hopes of many people Im sure. brilliant insight

I like your poetic sensibility. I also like the fact that you only use the necessary words to convey your message. Though out our lives, there will surely be bitter moments. But we can move on by filling them up with sweet memories. Excellent write my friend

Very well done, there comes this time in our lives were we have to start over, leave the past behind and start that new beginning. Really nicely done

Aww... beautiful... Your poem really touched me especially since I'm feeling kinda sad about my life right now.... Thank you

You;ve sent a clear message to all that retribution is real and no one escapes that.
You did a beautiful job with this piece Ingrid.
Apart from the message within, it also show the strength and courage in you to move on and put the past to rest.
It takes a strong person to do that.That is one of the things I always admire about you.
Well done my friend.
Paul...

This is beautiful, strong messages. Yes we are should start a new where we stand without looking back. From ever since i came on this site, your poems cvaught my eyes. You are an excellent poet my friend. Very well done, 5/5, kel.

Sad and poignant write, definitely gives the reader food for thought while identifying with aspects of the words contained within.

SO sad but so strong....Ingrid in this poem you did show the person you are, the amazing personality you have. The strength in you, not to allow life and its hardships and mean creatures to break you down.

TO be able to hold on, and to let god be the one who punish ppl for their wrongs and injustice with you. Thats such a gr8 quality, which you taught ME to.

and here God sees all

time has come
the time is now

I leave behind
the bitter harvest
of a life filled with pain

and start anew

yes very true, keep the hurt..the tears the sadness the pain..for the past and live a new life. Knowing that what goes around comes around, and those who have hurt you shall regret.

Such a strong poem, filled my heart with thoughts :)
amazing person u are
5/5!

I like the style of this piece, Ingrid. The lack of rhyming let the message come through without being forced, but the stanzas imposed some structure on the whole. The effect is that of a mantra, almost - something that you could clutch to your chest and repeat in times of need. Almost a prayer of letting go and renewal - a concept that is almost always bittersweet.

Enjoyed the write. Wonderful Ingrid!!!
