Criss- cross pattern, the rough texture
of life runs smooth, smiles and tears ,
joy and despair, running through the texture,
every hue is bright and dim, here and there,
turning back, I see a picture I like,
no, but something is disturbing, the fury red
here and there.
I sit here, my eyes closed
fire of anger and shouting has never rewarded.
Fine, subtle beauty of the pattern got burned,
my loss.
Every moment of fury, I regret
I regret all those fineness lost.
The darkened damages in my picture,
makes me think,
if that little space is preserved,
the space between thought and action,
to make it into fine colors, to deliver,
I sit here,
Meditating.
nice write....i dont know that i regret every bit of fury in my life...there are times it is def called for on some level..some really cool lines...love the texture of life in criss cross up top...and the space between thought and action, very cool...
ReplyDeleteThanks Brian..I share your thoughts but I have noticed, every situation can be handled cool headily with smile.But it is a higher level...I dream of that high.......
DeleteThought and Action ... that's what causes the difference ... If thought and action are in sync, life would have been so much better.
ReplyDeleteyes..in sync and in right notes tooo..thank you.
DeleteYes, Sreeja, ' the rough texture of life runs smooth.'
ReplyDeleteBeautiful.
Thank you so much Sonia......
DeleteIt takes much contemplation to write such a poem. I can imagine the tension in the author's mind... it's apparent in the lines. Nicely written, Sreeja! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Vaishali......
DeleteWe really miss a lot in the gush of anger. Nice words!:)
ReplyDeleteYes...and thank you....
DeleteNice poem! There have been a few times when anger was appropriate ~~ I missed them, shouldn't have.
ReplyDeleteThank you....missed it ?
DeleteYou think those black patches could be cured?? Naah I don't believe that. sometimes, we are just helpless puppets. The fury is not the choice but the only option available to us. We know that the actions will burn the fabric of relation but that is the only path ahead.
ReplyDeleteNo LC I think it another way..we are not puppets. We are people with insights.....Game can be turned any way....our attitude makes us winner or looser.....( Not the outcome, but for what we are) (Even the outcome will come our way if we are sincere....I believe in the miracle of honesty.)Thanks LC..thanks a lot for your visit and to share your thoughts with me....I will treasure it.
DeleteIt is best that we spare ourselves from fury if we can! It generally helps nothing, makes us even more upset. Your idea of meditating is a good one. Thanks for spending time with Poetry Jam!
ReplyDeleteThank you Mary for this comment.....
ReplyDeleteI love the thought of finding the "space between," that little moment of quietness to meditate. Very nicely written!
ReplyDeleteThank you......that little moment is precious.......
