Your poems are lovely rainbow. I absolutely LOVE to read and interpret poetry. One of my favorite pieces is part of a famous poem by Alexander Pope, Eloisa to Abelard

"How happy is the blameless vestal's lot!
The world forgetting, by the world forgot.
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray'r accepted, and each wish resign'd;"

This is relayed in the movie, "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" and the reason I love it so much is that it's the perfect metaphor of therapy to me, and life in general too.

Quote:
I've got to learn that I don't need external praise.
Wow, this really spoke to me. I struggle with this constantly.
