A Few More Moments

Many a time
my body, my soul gets hurt
while walking the tiring path of life,
and my eyes start searching for
the destination,
at least a tree,
Some broad shades, adequate rest.


Too many mirages mock at me .
Caring very little about those ,
I look at the gores and blisters
on my body .
Knowing  well that the ones residing
in my soul are even deeper ,
I tighten up my chin .

I caress myself, telling -
" A few more moments ,
Receive a bit more than what you thought ,
and the tide will be yours !"

Wonderful poem, well written. Kept me flowing and breezing through your words. Nice description and pace.
"Many a time
my body, my soul gets hurt
while walking the tiring path of life,
and my eyes start searching for
the destination" rings true for so many people!
"Knowing well that the ones residing
in my soul are even deeper ,
I tighten up my chin ." Very powerful and reaches all types of people! Well done!

Receive a bit more than what you thought ,
and the tide will be yours !"

A great write, well expressed emotions and thoughts, ending is superb, may be we should practice tide dance so that we become masters not the tide as Rachelle said, storm dance, life dance, tide dance all make us immune to the heat of life

[Anand Sehgal]

Thanks so much again, dear Linda :)

Life represents many things, and we have obstacles to overcome and deal with throughout life.
Your journey will be different than others, and it will be only yours to keep.
False hope and broken promises are present...will you deal with them in the right way?
The process gives us strength and wisdom.
Learning is the key.

[Anand Sehgal]

Glad to receive your comments Josie as always. Seeing you after a long time :)

It's worth it to hold on.... just "a few more moments" of agony may bring a lifetime of blessings..
The obstacles in life make us stronger...we overcome them, which serves a greater purpose.

Great message, my friend. ~xoxo~:)

The imagery and use of metaphor is brilliant. The last two lines gave me goosebumps. One of the best poems I've read in a long time. Going in my library.

Life can be a pain sometimes and you tell of that pain in a beautiful write. My favorite lines:

"Knowing well that the ones residing
in my soul are even deeper"

Great work! (:
