There is so much I do not know And more that I won’t ever do. Repent. Stop grabbing. Let things flow Away if need be when they’re through. See which odd ones stick around Old friends I didn’t know, then found.
Linked to dVerse Open Link Night where Lillian is hosting.
I took these photos some years ago at the Garden of the Gods in Colorado Springs. I don’t think I will ever visit that park again since it is far away and we no longer have family living there, but these photos like old friends stick around in my memory.

LOVE those last two lines in the first stanza!

Indeed… we do know that there is always an end to what we can do… old friends are best in the end.

This made me think of all the people I’ve talked to recently that I haven’t heard from in years. I wonder if they will stick around after the isolation is over? (K)

Let things flow
Away if need be
when they’re through.
One learns to be more accommodating in these trying times

Vivid colours in those stones and mountains Frank – and a strong verse. I particularly liked the run on line – from ‘…let things flow / Away…’ – after the declarations of the first few lines, it felt like the poem relaxed into its wise conclusion.
