Just For You Poetry

We should make choices that we can live with
Life is complex and mazy most of the time
Where our emotions and impulses intervene
That make things knotty and tangled
And before we even get a chance to know it
We are running in the wrong direction
Saying bitter things and breaking rules
To figure out what is true and right

Then we feel stuck in the heavy squall
Amid blinding and messy snow of trials
Where rolling hills and crashing waves appear
And we sadly see the candle of hope flickering
Bringing nothing but headache and heartache
Pushing us in deep darkness of choatic struggle
Where sky is dark gray and stress creeps in
To address challenging matters of awkward silence

But if we act bravely in the midst of all this
Just pause for a moment to reflect on our lives
And get a handle on our fragile emotions
Then we will be able to change our perspective
And swap this dawn of a snowy morning
To help struggling sun to appear on the sky
And bring the light of faith and hope back into life
To sparkle its dazzling beauty for a pleasant ride.

That is the crux of it all Seema.. taking time out to look in; often we are so busy trying to please others that we do not take time to look after ourselves..

It is all about reflection it seems, and rightly so when when we can't think straight. I really like how you use nature 's imagery to teach others in a creative way Seema.

Making choices we can enjoy is the real way to contentment - you describe it so well Seema and thank you for posting.

In the final verse you use the word 'perspective' so well. I believe that this is all about perspective,
as it is ones personal perspective that effects the way we see life and all its struggles. Some
bounce along lifes road, whilst others paddle through a trough full of treacle. Nice Write.
