Finding peace

loin_by_cetrobo-db2eil8


Squalls of wrecked emotions
and tears
fight within for calm;
no fear -
to stop the storm of solitude;
sojourn in abode of peace.
Wandering through rough cold path,
no more depression and wrath.
Mind - - nude;
finding abode of peace.

    Yes, "to stop the storm of solitude"...that's what we wrestle with, isn't it? Love how the emotion calms.

    "Mind - nude...". Yes, that's it, isn't it. To lay our minds bare to find peace. Well done!

    Stop the storm of solitude.... So hard for so many in this day and age. I also feel the poetic voice's desire to strip the mind bare. Well done!

    I liked the idea of solitude being a kind of storm when one doesn't want that solitude.

    I love the internal rhyme and rhythm of this.

Path of life

PC: Mi Young Lee …and when the cassette began to rewind - I looked at what I earned and lost on my way. The reel showed a vibrant mosaic of colours; a patch of happy as well as bad times. No turns, no ups, nor downs but straight, I assessed the path of my emotional life. All the grouch seems useless now, time had been kind and always on my side. With every dark patch it offered a light zone, And all through with love and support of the own… In response to Susie's "Bits of imagination" at IGWRT .

Learning from Experience

This week at Imaginary garden with real toads, poets frame queries in "Fashion me a poem", using not more than 100 words, in the style of Emily Dickinson's 'Answer July' Here's one on the dilemma on which is the best phase of life - past, present or future:  PC: www.google.co.in Answer tomorrow -  What do you hold - Where lies my smile - Which way to memory? Sighed tomorrow - Are you bold - Can you laugh every while - Yester is remembrance already! I am gone - said yesterday - What did I teach - Where is the dream - Do you wish to deem - What is it today? Frowns today – Is past the leisure I had – Is future good or bad – How many more of me(s) to add? Exclaimed – life explained – Beautiful was yester – Upcoming not to pester – Today a daily fad! Live everyday – taught experience PC: www.google.co.in
