Consider yourself…
And by doing so
Take that great part of you
Into consideration
Consider the fact
That by having-
Not possessing-
You have been given
At least
One chance
Which becomes
Always
One more chance
As long as
You breathe…
Consider
And take it
And then leave it
If you lost the battle,
Or the war,
If you had to surrender,
If you learnt
From those other
Considerations
Why fight?

You friends know I never explain...
But today, I kind of do so.
There might seem not to be connection between that image of me (wow! BTW) and the poem...
OH!! but there is- and so much.
I love it, because it's the first time I pose for a friend, who happens to be so good, and so great and who does not consider herself-as me, as so many of us- good enough to........ whatever.
Shame, ain't it?
If you feel so, go and praise her work.
Thanks in advance for coming by!
Hugs ;)

why fight? if you have lost the battle?
integrity. biting nails and planning revenge...
great shot and wonderful all around piece!
Why fight? Eventhough many deem it as passive, it requires enormous strength.
I loved the picture. Its so lovely! I thank god for photographs and great photographers! They possess the key to freezing images and memories!
Love and hugs,
Susan
I don't get poetry at all, not one bit -- I'm too dense and literal -- but I like this poem.
I usually don't read poem blogs, but this one I saw, liked the hook, poked my head in, read it, didn't understand a freaking thing you wrote, but it did get me to ponderizing, which is how I consider things.
I like this one quite a bit. One more chance becomes one more chance.
You're liable to be inspirational if you don't watch it, and who needs that sorta trouble.

Consider the fact
That by having-
Not possessing-
You have been given
Precioso TODO!!

Dearest sweetie!
You know I hate writing comments in blogs, and even more if I have to do it in English...because...I don't consider myself....
Nice poem, lovely words, and thanks for showing my photograph and the link to my page to all your followers. I love you for what you are, just the way you are.

Your writting is wonderful, I hang on your every word. Thank you. :-)
beautiful words....and beautiful shot:)
Nice! I like this!
Keep on truckin'.
Sometimes I think we fight when we don't know what else to do.Fearful.
The considerations for me,anyways,only come along when I get exhausted trying to fight so hard.
Ya got me to thinking, Queen Dulce (Shhhh! careful there Steve, "thinking" is NO good for you)...consider that actually, I OWN nothing. Only the right to use what has been given me. My scooter, my love, my friends, my violin, my computer, body, even my very LIFE is not mine....
Consider:
What I have is heaven-sent,
So long as I pay the rent.
Possession is simply thus:
Something borrowed,
Something lent.
NOW, consider that photo--grin! I went to Maria's FLICKR page (did not join, so I could not comment) and Maria is really GOOD! Maybe you could link her blog?
And considering the MODEL: Ummmm, (Gulp!) well, Hmmmmm, Yep--very nice! It is what "freedom" is about, what it allows you, Dulce (See my post today).
Brava to your photog friend, who portrayed your charms in a beautifully tasteful manner. (Thank you, Maria!)
Love you, girls, from
steveroni
Nice letters... and good shots! ;-)
Absolutely feminine and delicate pics: they reminded me a song.
"Delicate like rain
Delicate like snow
Delicate like birds
Delicate just soul
Delicate like air
Delicate like breeze..."

I love this poem...I feel it...the words...'you have been given at least one chance....' and the pic awesome..You're awesome Dulce...I think because you'e not afraid to take risks...to put yourself out there....to be heard....to be seen....Take gentle care ok. Sarah
So beautiful...this is such a poignant and deeply profound poem, your final line is a question that rings throughout the ages, and indeed haunts the graves of lost lives. Beautiful, striking and oh so poetic :D
Why fight?
Quizá porque resulta más sencillo DAR en la cara, que Dar la car. Triste, pero real. Besillos!!!
¡¡Dulce!!
Este post ¡Me maravilla! ¡Me asombra! ¡Me encanta!
De verdad esta muy, muy bien en todos los sentidos.
So! I will put a link of this on facebook if you dont mind, if you do please tell me, I´ll do it on Sunday so you have time to reply if you mind. Obviously a link to this page saying it is the work of an amazing blogfriend named DULCE!
seeing this beautiful photo
i consider my self...
no, i don't fight
i love it, that there is people that make photos so much more beautiful then i ever can be :)
Bananii really wishes to honor you (with the link on F/B--grin!). She is such nice friend-girl.
But you acted prudently in changing the photo before that..IMO. SWEETEST POET Canary-Girl!
Oh sweet Dulce... I have missed you too! There has been so much going on and now I'm so behind on reading blogs. Thank you for visiting mine today and, as always, leaving your sugary sweet comments. Hugs and more hugs!
Thank you all so much for your comments. For cautious reasons the photo and link are gone, because I do not like to be all that exposed, even though you never know... Was that one really me?
Never mind
HEy, Bananii,dear,
NOW you can link my blog to FB, but only if you give me YOUR link there! :)
Lots of sweet hugs
Dul.
why fight, indeed. your words hit exactly on the most sensitive place in my married life, confirming for me my decision to 'go with the flow' instead of striving so hard to get someone to love me. he doesn't, he can't, he won't ever be more. so now i fight for myself and for the contentment it takes to live with such a man.
your photo is stunning, stark yet it says so much! just beautiful, dulce!
What a beautiful poem...and more so because of the meaning behind it. And considering...well, that leaving me thinking about my life today. Thank you!
