Author notes
Contest prompt: the picture above.
I loved that pic, I thought it inspired a lot too.
The way we choose to see or not see, rose colored or hiding from reality.
Great prompt!
I chose "change"...
it can feel so overwhelming sometimes,
especially when we do not
have all the answers and we're walking into it openly.
Typically..for me...
after a change and the dust has settled..
most of what I was
worried about ...never happened,
and my worry was for naught.

I like when you have the words together, is it 'doido' instead of 'dolido' to show hard of understanding and then you open up, great idea, I like clever gretels.

I hear: Step back from the black and white categorisations, which the mind can be insistent upon, in order to see all with a freshness of the eye. The condition in which we can receive what is best for us most easily.
Great write ears!

I love the words run together in the first stanza &
your hyphenation to add pause to words.(I might steal that idea for later.)
Wonderful ending.
Thanks.

Most of the time changes are good Kathleen. When people refuse to see the real thing they are looking through rose colored glasses. Worrying over things that you no control over is stressful let the problem vanish and think of something postive. In time things do work out. This poem as such depth to it. You are an awesome poet.

A very nice write, indeed, in relation to the pic. I liked the way in which you stated your ideas and the flow of the poem as well.
