I'd love to understand my mood
How did I get into a state of brood

I was doing fine nothing happened
Suddenly feeling down and saddened

The thing is I  can't seem to shake it
Like a nightmare that gives you fits

I decided to try to write it away
I'm hoping now to find some word play

Living it up, loving, laughing at life
What I'll do to get rid of this strife

In a world of  sorrows, I refuse to feel blue
Get happy with some friends best thing to do

But darn, it doesn't want to work for me
Not when I know there's people in misery

Children caught up in another awful  war
Humanity escaping to another sea shore

We can't live with the horror of reality
Find something to keep us from insanity

The question is, in a world so explosive
How do we find a balanced way to live?

I do my best through meditation and prayer
But sometimes I just feel my cubbard is bare

etw-2008

A great write about the sudden attack our moods can have on us and the emotional turmoil they can cause, most when we struggle to get out of the down moment. Great job.
Love, B&R

when we see what's happening in the world and then turn to see how few people seem to care, it's easy to get in a mood and brood alright. all I certainly know what it's like to feel the cupboard is bare despite meditation and prayer. just simply asking the questions ("how do we find a balanced way to live?) is a tremendous gift of your soul, Eileen. that is the treasure you share with us all.

The couplets say it all to me Eileen...and I think we're talking on a similar if not the same wave pattern regarding this theme. So you know I hear you. It is hard to find uplifting resources sometimes, but as Andy said to me, the last thing out of/or kept in the box was hope! Let's hope so...;) Panda

the status quo of the world is disheartening but we should never lose scope of purpose or direction ... i know, easier said than done ...

You're a woman and we women feel passion more than males...we "brood" when we're merely pondering the complexities of situations until...we find cures because we are nurturers. You'll be fine and the world will chage one day and back the next....it's this thing with time...the world doesn't recognize a time limit as a cure just yet.

Blessings to you my dearest friend.
Love and peace,
Susan

The news each day stresses the worst that has happened in the world as this seems to sell papers. It takes a strong mind not to be affected by this constant barrage of death and mayhem.

You have a calling dear one! Rest in that!

Sometimes what you're feeling isn't you feeling at all ... it's someone else feeling through you to motivate you to do something for someone elses glory!

Chew on that!
