Hi Soul slider! not sure what I did, but for me, this acrostic expresses what is necessary in order to revive our souls.

flailing, we fight
externalising our fear
disposing of its power
giving renewed life.

Am I right?

Smiling at you

Neat acrostic, but I'm reading all sorts into it, divorce, abuse, depression....though I do have a vivid imagination. All of which can be cyclical.

I wonder what prompted this write? I do love to see an acrostic, this one seems to be one I would write myself, given the gift.
A bundl of unanswerable questions. Especially the word "external."

These four words make a very interesting recipe for fear. External in particular interests me. Fear is indicative of emotion which is internal, though often is expressed with external gestures. Flailing would be a reasonable expression of fear. Abandonment is a very real fear for many. Nightmares are made of such. Revival? hmmm.... Would this be a regression? A return to a fear thought long ago conquered? The beginning of a cycle?? I am challenged and so very curious to know where this comes from. Why these four words? You have written a very successful acrostic dear friend. I just gotta know!
