Notes About The Poem

Overcoming Pain

Within toxic seas
nonchalant eye sees
venom spread outcome
that makes our heart numb.

Slow strangulation
dampens elation,
though bliss strobes remind
us, we should not mind.

The role we enact
requires love and tact,
as our life's learning,
'twixt pain barbs churning.

With feet on firm ground, 
bliss on the rebound
banishes our pain
and cleanses heart's stain.
