Natural Cure For Sorrow

Pondering a l o n e on melancholy, As pain keeps me far from being jolly, Those black clouds and the sun h i d i n g behind the rain-kissed breeze blow crisp thoughts to my mind, Wondering, I hone my p o e t i c skills, Inspired by c r e a t i o n's mind boggling thrills, The duet of birds w a f t s through rhythmic rain, As words b u i l d up midst the m a z e of my brain, Wandering through known recesses of m i n d, My muse roused from sleep, I gladly now find refreshing r e f l e c t i o n s from Nature's well b r e a k my spirit free from w o e b e g o n e spell. 09/25/17

I suppose we all get moments of melancholy, Jo. But while some stumble under their weight, others find the means to move on. Nature and poetry can be uplifting allies. Love this poem, and its presentation. Regards // paul

Wow Jo , my kind of poetry the Rhyme is still my favourite. Writing poetry is indeed a cure for sorrow, it breaks the spirit free to roam the beautiful territory of the mind finding refreshing reflections. I love this poem and a fave...Maria

Your Muse's disposition is so jolly so I do not see the reason of any melancholy dearest, sister! I am certain that happiness will soon envelope your dear heart! Excellent!
