Discombobulation

Written: January 25, 2024
            _______________________________________

Time eludes us as a cryptic puzzle.
This is our opportunity to seize it. 
Spaces have a distinct sequence.
We must sustain our life pattern.
Shaken extremities.
It is scarce to start a fire with obsidian.
Still, it's worth lingering in the night.

Murmuring shards from an aloof past.
highlighted the impact 
of our says a few weeks ago. 
and the deep impact it can wield. 
Yet, we must aim to define our souls 
Let your voice billow amid a pool of views. 
 thence, it's crucial to stay vigilant.
even when progress is slow.

Life seems a scary puzzle conundrum.
But we must never lose our goals. 
It may appear such a mundane day.
yet one day might alter everything.

Several ideas may whirl in the mind.
We are obliged to strive forward.
spreading our thoughts globally.
even amidst the perplexity.
or if our ideas are running dry.
It is crucial to bear in mind.
All us are crucial to a larger target. 
Let us manage our time well.
Embrace each fleeting moment 
in this state of discombobulation.

In emphasizing the distinct sequence of spaces and the need to sustain our life patterns, the poem underscores the importance of intentionality and mindfulness in navigating the passage of time...

Sam Kauffman January 26, 2024 at 11:07 AM Dearest Lasaad! This poem is a perfect articulation of the theme - our world turned on its head through a maze of conundrums! So many delightful images that speak of "perplexity," and "cryptic puzzles." I love your final line about embracing this state of mind where we feel unbalanced yet continue to strive! This poem is wonderfully conceived! Blessings, dear friend! Best wishes for the contest!

Victor Buhagiar January 26, 2024 at 5:04 AM Life is always bringing in problems and some mental confusion. Since my fall last year, my muse seems to have vanished. Yours is always on the right track, a poem of well argued subjected with great meta phors.

Ink Empress January 25, 2024 at 8:38 PM Ah as always dr sotto your poem is not only flowing with brilliant diction and captivating wordplay, and metaphors, but also with si much depth and what youv conveyed here is soulful, and so very powerful: i agree with your life is not always a linear line or as we would like, things may change any time and the best we could do is seize the day and appreciate what we have. I especially loved how you’ve said “Life seems a scary puzzle conundrum. But we must never lose our goals.” Impeccable!
