Zero to Crazy – An Awakening
In the stillness
of the dawn
There is a chance
for a new beginning
A time to cast away
that which no longer works
The mangled
and exhausted dialogue
Repeated endlessly
and accepted as gospel
A new language
to be learned
and a fresh way
of communicating
My beloved
I fear we are
at an impasse
My heart
fights with my head
and it will always win
I languish in the love
and you thrive in the war
Zero to crazy
in three seconds
is no longer the norm
It must end
It did end
and this is the new dawn

Ingrid is hosting D'Verse Poets tonight and has prompted us with
writing a poem about pain that we have experienced but have come out
on the other side letter and stronger. I went back into my Poetry for
Healing archives as I remembered writing this in October 2019. I think
it fits the prompt.

Indeed… sometimes it has to fully end before it can start again.
Yes, that is a true statement. Thanks 😊
Thanks Punam ☺️❤️

Christine, like everyone else I too loved ‘Zero to crazy
in three second’!❤️
Thanks Sadje ☺️💕
Oops I meant Punam! Sorry dear ☺️💕
No worries. 😊❤️
This is so poignant! I resonate with the image of “zero to crazy,”.. and have been through it myself. We deserve better 🙂
Oh do we ever Sanaa!! Let’s all say “Never again” ☺️❤️
“Zero to crazy.” These three words gave your poem a wonderful jolt of reality! Well done.
Thanks Helen 💕 I’m sure many of us have witnessed someone going from zero to sixty, if we are honest 😳
‘Zero to crazy
in three seconds’
– this is such a powerful image! I am pleased you made it out of this situation and found your way to a new dawn. 😊❤️
Thanks Ingrid. Once we can acknowledge it, then we can move on. ☺️💕
I love the way you ended the poem (and the relationship and moved on to a new dawn.)
Thanks Lisa. It was the only sane outcome ☺️
You’re welcome 🙂
So well written Christine. Zero to crazy has to end, must end, has ended.
Thanks Sadje. I wrote this a couple of years ago. Brought it out again tonight to share ☺️💕
You’re welcome.
