Happiness vs Misery

Listen to poem:

Written: February 29, 2024 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ In a sprawling sward of auburn swab A seraphic sight soaked in dew at dawn dazed distress and dust-laden air delicacy and despair edge by side Wanton wallop by whispering wind A stark skive screaming secrets Weaving wounds and wellness weepies Within its ethereal guise, Beings in exuberance, intangible Laughed loquaciously and gamboled lecherous libidinal lust untamed, Amidst revelry and mirth Hearts laden with eviscerating anguish. intricate human soul patterns Inveigling intimacy to intrude Garrulous grain, grim and grody, Gossamer threads of supple stories Depicting a world effusive and free Yet burdened by frivolous fatuity meticulous minds, in daedal deed Follow a field of founded frustration A knavish interplay of mighty moods Within a celestial and sparse seas Vivid hues and ethereal dreams Passion flows in every stream Sad tones in a meandering mode Kismet panorama suffused with chromatic splendor Serenade of life complex waltz Amid joy and luck contrast. This symphony of the human soul Egos emerge to sprawling sectors From egregious to sublime Weaving a tapestry of entwined trips In despair depths to elation extreme redemption of the human spirit In the chaos and the calm A vibrant vitality as a healing balm Desolate hearts find solace in dismal tune Life's serenade continues to croon Each note unveils the spectrum A myriad of shades of human trails In a world of detail, emotions wrestle Life's tide, a mischievous dance. I found solace in your gaze there is no time for eternity Now allow quaff your darkness As if it tastes as pure nectar We spent the staunch, severe struggle Amid endless and emotional With each stride, with each sigh We strive to reach the depths of the sky amid silence, we seek a beacon of hope In the pits of sorrow, we gain strength In the vast scope of human slope Passion and power fuel persistence to embrace the bright and esoteric Let our hearts suffuse with quiddity So we'll meander and muddle. We'll reflect on conflicting emotions On gossamer dust, in auburn meadows Disconsolate and just people will suffer, We'll swirl in zephyr seraphic beasts Relaxing amid nature's chorus rhythm Amid splendor, a grim truth lurks Quixotic lust ravages and devours Clumsy and neat in subtle sapidity.

your intricate, well penned words and images reveal much about the range of human emotions (from despair to the sublime) These lines 'spoke to me' We strive to reach the depths of the sky amid silence, we seek a beacon of hope In the pits of sorrow, we gain strength In the vast scope of human slope Passion and power fuel persistence Such strength in your words, such understanding of the human condition. You have an amazing insight and gift for expressing those insights. Sara

SP, those of us who have life experience (such as yourself) truly understand that good and bad exist together. We only hope that we can avoid the depths of despair and understand that happiness is always tinged.
