the bliss of moments
©copyright2013owpp
Many years ago, I heard on the radio horrific news which left a scar in my memory never to be erased.
As always my only way out was to pick up my pen and let the pages soak the muddle of emotions and tears running havoc in my mind with no escape… they jumped out like cooped up horses after a long freezing winter and found in the spaces and margins some sort of quietude which I am going to share with you today.
May we live in a world where we unite our energies to build our dreams.
Horror & waste, sorrow & grief of
Calcinated lives, burned felicity.
Committing the irreparable with
No second thought…
Anguish at no time erased nor shafted.
A rock erodes ne’er intense souvenir
Of a family, an entity, a world..
There is no deterioration to the shared
Recollection of the close yet distant.
The smile, the tender caress of words.
Innocence of life just begun.
__ __ __ __ __ __
Incomprehensible recklessness,
Consequences of actions & pain
Henceforth as a shadow till no day ends.
Those souls where lullabies, cuddles &
Mummy were pursued to the furnace…
Promising future… educating her jewels
Oblivious to the unfathomable turn of fate
Embracing her angels, frozen in the eternal
Love-position. Boundless uncalculated
Generosity engraved in our memories forever
__ __ __ __ __
Coming away empty yet plethoric with this
Paragon of virtue…mundane words to describe
What rhymes with nothing. Madness to which we
Succumb to construe the baseness, depravity
To destroy.We lost those we never knew. It
Could be he, me or you…helpless yet praying
For lucidity & humanity to tip the scale.
Appreciating & discerning the bliss of moments
Palpating, investing in the forces of courage
The powers of soundness by edifying the
Element of our fount & demonstrating affection
And respect toward where it all begins… (1)
The ones we love most…
Our family.
(1) The creation of a better world

Just this morning I awoke wondering what matters. I read your beautiful words and I am renewed. Ready to step forward with courage into that which halts me. Ready to keep giving believing hoping. Much love
Your comments give me the strive to go forward…always!
It is very kind & generous of you. I was debating for so long about this poem as I’d rather express more positive encounters but, reality demands otherwise…sometimes 🙂
In the end my down-to-earth side won over and I dived head first!
Thank for taking time to write your impressions down.
I have nominated you for the sunshine award if you decide to accept it here’s the link

Have an amazing end of week!
Your words are heavy with sadness to begin yet move on to inspire us readers. Thank-you for sharing this heartfelt piece with us!
That is precisely why I was debating for so long whether I should or should not post it.
I tend to prefer focusing on art & beauty rather
than on the sometimes harsh realities of life but if I ever do post sad or painful topics it’s on the condition there is a message behind, something to learn or grow from so, I’m glad you mentioned the contrast between the first and second part of the poem . I thank you for that and appreciate the time taken 🙂
