My life's a mess
pondered I,
scattered , confused
directionless , no map
How do I gather thyself?
Where do I heed?
Strewn irregular pieces
across the floor
stared at me,
mocking teasing ,
injuring my pride,
beckoning to challenge,
in a brain's game.
Defeated , I shall not be
sat down and ruminating
gathered the bits
in my mental frame of mind.
tackled one at a time
formed a larger picture
of a gay smiley.
The perfect picture
smiled and winked
spilling words of wisdom
a rippled mind creates a stir
A calm mind steers towards the goal.
Smile , if you haven't , a good facial exercise. Life is a puzzle until unsolved. Once the jig-saw
pieces are arranged in order and a larger picture emerges making us feel that life's not so
difficult.
Nice post, loved the last paragraph especially.
ReplyDeleteThat was a new way of tackling life's challenges like forming a perfect picture out of scattered bits.
ReplyDelete'a rippled mind creates a stir
A calm mind steers towards the goal." These lines summed up the way to go
So true... life is a puzzle,everything fits in somewhere, it just takes a while to figure it out!
ReplyDeleteLovely...the last line is the life of the poem ! nice one !!
ReplyDeleteThe big picture is what matters. Very true. Life is all about putting the pieces where they belong. :)
ReplyDeleteLife is a puzzle but getting caught up studying each individual piece can make a person crazy..so focusing on the big picture is best. This post was so clever!! ♥
