Turbulence

Darkened clouds--in cobalt blue morning sky A terror of tears-- in reigning happy smiles A loving heart's bold acclaim--grief's its strength Neighborhood of vibrant mind--a colony of fears Sullen memoirs unfolding--an old book of life Night's ruptured dreams-- a gift forlorn Life's turbulence has dreary shapes and sounds May 3, 2019 HM: Strand select P contest by Brian Strand

What terrible contradictions.... This world seemingly peaceful is full of violence and rebellion . Under the veneer of innocence and truthfulness lies deceit and treachery. Beneath the surfacing happiness, sorrows lurk ! This ambivalence of life, you have masterfully traced!

So many phrases expressing the push/pull of life "ruptured dreams - a gift." This is nicely crafted Vijay. Congratulations!

Life's journey can be calm and turbulent, Vijay; it does not always depend on us. Some things are beyond our control, very much like the weather. Regards // paul

I think that "life's turbulence" paves the way for more beauty hiding inside us to come out to surface.. Another taste of ink.. a different colour of words.. still, beauty is of a higher level! Your masterful pen, dear Vijay, depicts Beauty whatever its "shape and shade" is! In my fave list.. my deepest regards. Stay blessed always.

It takes great courage to smile through the tears. Jesus gives the peace that passes all understanding. Our strength is found in The Lord. Great write Vijay. Very thought provoking. God Bless, JB

There will always be Chaos in this place we call Life. When the wind blows sideways, one must know how to handle the Confusion. Moments of Uncertainly. Deep thoughts to ponder indeed. Incredible writing Vijay. ~ Brandy
