Areesha Elahi Poet Rhyme

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..

Steven Young June 12, 2022 at 9:45 AM 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.
