- I Am Dealing With It -

My thoughts are like thunderclouds

         Thoughts that collide and give worthless words

         Only sound .... my mind wants peace

         Running from the storm - another shortcut

         Another way to handle it

A great piece Anne Lise as we continue to battle the mind to succumb to a point of peace. May peace be at your foundation's core. Take care.

Thunder is a beautiful thing. Certainly, not worthless. It's short, yet impacting to all. May you go up from here. :)

Life is about dealing with problems we either run from the storm or learn to deal with it. So many ups and downs in life almost like a roller coaster. Hope all is well my friend. Take care. love phyl

Finding some time to look at poems; this one caught my attention, Anne. Powerful thoughts lead you to confront a storm. That's the way to go!

Wow! My lovely friend, you have beautifully differentiated between sound and peace and from where sound evolves. We always want short cut to have the peace with the help of words. Genius you are always. Loved always, bl

I know shortcuts gives us that momentary peace, but not the long term we would like. Nicely illustrated!
