A Blissful End

Feeling the cold winds on the feet is bearable There's always a blanket to shield the hail But what about the cold hearts that once emitted warmth? Whose presence was like sunshine ripping through the grey clouds Safe to say, the wild transformation was nothing less than a tragedy Losing that sunshine was like experiencing the other side of a fantasy It comes as a hard-learned lesson that everything's fugitive 'Nothing lasts forever' isn't just a movie dialogue Neither is it just a mere narrative It's a realization that blossoms from your battles When a plain sailing life flips its direction And distances you from your endeared one's affection You need to use the loneliness to your advantage Remind yourself that it's not the first brick life has thrown at you Like previous times, you need to collect this brick as well And place it in what you'll later find to be built as a fort of gratitude Because when you'll realize that every brick had a message engraved You will have everything to be grateful for And the path towards your best life will be finely paved You will acknowledge the fact that you were waiting for a jaywalker's message It was you seeking temporary glee But, indeed, it ended with your fragile side's passage Today, things aren't devastating as you thought they would be Just find a mirror and look at that glee God sent you a profound message instead and it is a learning for life The glow in your smile is all the sunshine you ever needed And, that your one hand joining the other is a team that'll strive You are your own savior - a superhero Every time you faltered, your superpowers amplified Your strength reached the pinnacle and the weaknesses multiplied with zero Every time the tears in your eyes resisted meeting the beholders' Every time you disguised your pain as the bravado of soldiers Every time you woke up and trod outside your room; your safe haven All to fulfill the burdening responsibilities on your shoulders The whole time, you've fed your soul with that much-needed self-assurance And, if not today, then tomorrow you will find yourself unconquered by your fears Courtesy of your inner warrior's resilience..

Seems like poetry's your therapy, too. You go deep and you're profound. I appreciate that you don't waste your words preaching to anyone but yourself. Sensory imagery in your first line drew me in. I don't know about building a fort of gratitude out of my life's bricks, but I do know when I pay attention, not just to the bricks, but everything, I see the path to my best life. Just need to improve my attention span.

Thanks for sharing this. Welcome to Poetry Soup. I welcome you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." God bless you.
