Such is Life

World blurring by

Laughing child holding Mommy’s hand

Safely nestled in Mommy’s arms

 

Loved

 

Wind stinging cheeks

Grass swaying in the breeze

Heart bursting at the seams

 

Rushing

 

Flung into a new world

Colors blur together

Spinning in endless circles

 

Overwhelming

 

Wild hair flying all around

Tossed around on the waves

Landing sometimes to safety

 

Random

 

Broken hearted

Crying unceasing tears

Drowning in the abyss

 

Depressing

 

Light moving back

Illuminating the dark

Climbing to safety

 

Working

 

Healing heart

Drying tears

Baby held safely in Mama’s arms

 

Loved again

 

World blurring past

Open windows

Wind caressing face

 

Such is life.

Reminds me of something from Dean Martin, played softly on a piano.

Perfect picture of life. Who could enjoy the highs without the lows for comparison. We must endure the lows and enjoy the highs. A hard lesson to learn, but none the less true.

Wow, I really liked this a lot. Such emotion. The words you've injected fit perfectly summing up each stanza. This is beautifully done!

[An Ordinary Woman]

Dezaraye, you have so much emotion packed into this piece (and all of) your writing. I always feel the genuine essence of you every time I stop by and read.

This poems tells soo much about you, without really answering anything directly or specifically. It makes me want to know more, yet leaves me satisfied because in the ending, it fills me with hope- that you'll be alright, that we all will be alright.

Wonderful writing, as always

I really feel that I can relate to this poem. I like the format you used as well. Using the stanzas to decribe the word coming after seems very unique to me and it gives the single words more meaning. I think it's very well-written!
