Notes About The Poem

Relentless


It's  rough 
          and tumble,
life's frenetic 
          race,
we stumble 
          and struggle
to outrun 
          a whirlwind,
leaving moments
          as specters
of the past,
          grasping
at shadows
          and chasing 
fading dreams
          upriver
in time's 
          relentless 
stream.

Dear Chetta, you're thoughts hold so much truth. The struggle is very real, and we face these obstacles daily. Striving to stay on the right path, in a world filled with many crooked roads, seems to be impossible. It can be done. Congratulations my sweet friend, on Poem of the Day. My best to you.

Many congratulations Chetta for POTD with this beautiful and so well written poem. Love the fast flow of this poem as time too is so fleeting, frantic and yes, a relentless pace at times. You have captured so much here - I love, ‘ chasing fading dreams, upriver in time’s relentless stream’. Really enjoyed it. Blessings to you.
