Soft tones of pastel memories Drift over the horizon Lazing on my lounge at ease Serenity a pleasant partner Parading through my mind The beauty of the ocean We used to sail the seven seas Refreshing thoughts surround me I'm enjoying this quiet reverie Until beast of bad times chimes in Trying to usurp goods place Harsh hues of black and blue Join the mistral winds that arise Now duress and restlessness An ocean of churning waters I sit in disgust dreams turned to dust Will I be able to return to harmony Is the force of past wrongs too strong No! the source of right restores my light Faith returns me to cheerful reminiscence
rebuilding the past is difficult ... with faith, there is always to the potential in succeeding your quest ... hope you achieve harmony's return ... hopefully, the desires you aspire to feel are warm and soothing ...
So many times over the past two years I have asked myself that same question and always I find that harmony is but a breath away for me if I am but willing to take it... Your poem, well written will impeccable flow, was a joy to read!
After the day is done and gone...when we look at how we spent our time and what we did to make life better...then we see the affect we gave 24 hours. We are a mere one in this world of millions who think about their days too. When we all believe in the smaller things in life that make up harmony...then notice what we past up in those twenty four hours to find a faster way to travel, a shorter cut to greed...then we are blind to details of living that make us secure and more harmonious as people existing in harmony.
We need to get the basics back and to simply BELIEVE like your pen so graciously defines.
Love,
Susan

Sometimes when I am reading your work I feel like I am sitting on a pendulum...wondering where it will take me with the next swing... ...'join the mistral winds that arise'...and this exotic wind transports us where?...with this poem, to a place where there's hope. The Mistral (and the Sirroco)...now you've really touched my heart. Panda :)x
it is remarkable to me how you take us from bliss to upset in just one line! but that is how life itself is...in one moment all is different. Naturally, I appreciate the happy ending! Faith is powerful...thank you

In came the cavalry overflowing.
Such encouragement. . . .

Because we have an opportunity to choose our attitude and focus our intentions in the present moment, the world and our own personal lives are a reflection of our thoughts. It is our 360 degree review on how we think. Put simply, our job is to fully

It is good that we have a solid rock to anchor our fragile lives too! That lounge has magical properties I imagine.
The heat is finally breaking a little - Hallelujah!
