A Calm Or Tempestuous Life

Rest yourself here where water lies calm still, you could fly to perch on tempestuous cloudy bank perhaps to remain safety a foreign ideal you’ve rarely felt for you, comfort seems to come with upheaval still, you could stay in the quest to find who you might be perhaps to entrust that you are enough and worthy too for I recall where your viridity began still, life gives trials People to test next to those to emulate perhaps you’ll select where you won’t go or who you can’t be

It is not how we act, it is how we react when others act; you have stated this well.

A very fine poem on youth,growing up and the many trials one must face. To walk a lit path or to walk with the world on its ever tempting darken path? We each must choose and then live with the consequences of that choice made. A fav...

Nicely written, Jeanne, growing up can be hard deciding who you are and what path you want to follow. As we age, it is so easy to look back and see the direction we took or maybe the direction we should have taken. My best to you. Hugs. John
