Matthew Anish Poet Concrete

Life's Frustrations and the Other Side of the Coin

Always something
    Depression - 
illnesses of one 
kind or another
   drill holes into 
our happiness 
    The sky may be 
clear or overcast
   but either way 
we have plenty to 
   worry about 
Yet frustrations 
  melt way 
for brief periods 
we can experience 
       joy 
The karmic wheel 
    may turn in 
our direction 
   and bring us peace 
   So look beyond the setbacks 
and the naysayers 
Feel the rays of love 
   coming from the sun 
which will shine upon you 
   in the end
Namaste!

Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2017 at 8:14 PM This is awesome. WE have to always think on the bright side because in the end, the good outweighs the bad!

Andrea Dietrich January 29, 2017 at 8:13 PM Matt, do you ever go check out the contest page here at Soup? When people use titles like One in 60, they are told to do that by the judge of the contest. So maybe you will notice a lot of other poems have that same title. It's because they are entered in the same contest with sixty words in it (I think that was the meaning of that title) Let me see your poem now.
