Strife

As the snow falls softly to the ground, I wonder why family with hardened hearts won’t stop Creating the storms to disrupt my life For so long, they carry on creating this strife I have spent many years letting go like clouds do with the snow Still, the problems they cause, pile up on me As their mission is to steal peace, for me not to be happy Still one sits at this site on my follower list, watching me Waiting to strike like a snake and make the next move Invading my life, worse than the weather Yet I know their stormy day will come, a matter of time… When they must answer to all they have done!

'I have spent many years letting go like the clouds do with the snow'. Good for you, and a beautiful line! The whole thing is wonderful! You know, it seems, some people feel like they exist, only to make us miserable. I am sorry. I have a friend like that, and I had to just stop taking him seriously, stop taking him personally.

The pain you feel is obvious from your poems. As you say towards the end of your poem, everyone ultimately must pay for causing discomfort to others. Stay strong, Heidi.

This part made me really sad. "Still one sits at this site on my follower list, watching me Waiting to strike like a snake and make the next move Invading my life, worse than the weather" I am so sorry!

The most important thing for one is not to commit injustice! Since you have not committed any your soul is at peace. Remember ,any unjust action against any person would get the just condemnation! Till then let them not get to you! A profound poem! A lesson of life dearest, Heidi!
