Adversity

 

 

Some say dreams don’t come true it does not happen to me and you

Yet all the miracles I have seen wait in the shadows to be weaned

Though we walk through the valley of death often with adversity met

There are blossoms in the dessert to be seen they don’t wait to be

Show me a rose not needing rain to flower

There is heartbeat  stirring in an arid life

Show me a person with the keys of power

Who unlocks the pearly gates out of strife

Some say life is a bloody battle we are led like sheep and cattle

To the mediocre life of bone and survival and consuming of things

The media like a baby rattle everything’s shiny and soft nothing of metal

So we are earthbound trapped losing the shape and the span of our wings

Give me a rose I will show you where they flower

Give me a second of the miracle of life

Give me a story waiting for its hour

Give me a human reborn out of strife

Some say dreams get caught in our head then thy leave us for dead

We mourn grey clouds and rake with blood spattered ploughs

We just don’t get we are the drivers of the dreams that just fled

Where the tangles of our mind allowed all our visions endowed

We are the rose bleeding perfume as we flower

We are the essence of the miracle of life

We are the heroes of the hour

We are reborn from strife

 Some say there’s no rainbow end striking gold

Some won’t wish on a downward spiralling star

Some see the end picture and all the broken folds

Some doubt the beauty of who they are

We are beautiful beings and often adversity shapes us.

"The flower that blooms in adversity is the rarest and most beautiful of all." -Emperor of China, Disney's Mulan

I do believe this beautiful poem extrapolates the above heavily. You give it greater nuance and description, expanding it to include so much. I am impressed.

This is an excellent piece.

Thanks Hon, take care.

Life is often too unkind and the only thing to keep us move forward is to recognize it to be able to understand the pattern of human condition. The search for gratification, the sense of curiosity, the inevitability of isolation, or awareness on the possibility of death. I liked the second to the last stanza because it shows not only strength but understanding of the meaning of life. This is well thought out.

[MOON]

Thanks for stopping by Maryanne , go well.

sometimes we are too overcome with adversity, we do forget just how beautiful we are...

we need to have better memories...

really like this write...it's about hanging in there...having faith in ourselves, things will get better.

[MOON]

Indeed it will, take care always appreciate your comments.

[Corset]

I love this this because it speaks of holding on to what you believe to be true in the face of adversity, against all odds and in defiance of every thing you see around you. Some people call this "faith", it's so hard to hold on to things intangible, there are so many beautiful stanzas in this i'd be re-posting the whole thing so I'll spare ya :)

[MOON]

Thank you Hon, take care!

Addressed the challenges of life in this lovely conversation.
Appreciate these lines most:
"Show me a rose not needing rain to flower
There is heartbeat stirring in an arid life
Show me a person with the keys of power
Who unlocks the pearly gates out of strife"

[MOON]

Thanks Zainul always look forward to your comments.
