Chill and let the storm pass
Or shed tears as it pierces your heart,
Move beyond the common acuity
Move on with your life, o deprived
Or cry and equal the common man.
Now chill, and let the storm pass!

Ahhh.. I wish I could let most of my storms pass.
ReplyDeleteGreat writing. Thanks for playing again.
Nicely done! I like the imagery and the wisdom in this short piece...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful thought.
ReplyDeleteIt seems some storms never pass, but there are times when I can chill ... and watch it kick my ass!
ReplyDeleteTan you are really using your gift of creative expression, and it shows in this piece.
No, there's no sense in lingering in pain. Chill! I agree.
ReplyDeleteok, well, thanks! all we can do here is to encourage others and read their work. indirectly, we are all working on a collaborative sort of giant project, don't you think so?
ReplyDeleteand well, i am laughing now, coz this time i clicked on continue reading tab. and behold, it was still a 5 line poem!!!
anywa, back to the point, this poem blows you off, in a way. as in, you have a choice to remain positive n hopeful or give into sadness and our lives get shaped up by this prime choice we make.
ya, i will just leave all the comments i make even the repetitive ones. :)
one Q- what inspires or moves you before you contruct such poems?
Awesome !! i really needed this today .. thanks Tan ...
ReplyDeleteSome storms are to be fought, some
ReplyDeleteTear us apart. Others, we let pass.
Of the ones that we fight
Reminds us of our strength.
Many other remind us of ourselves.
Such they are "storms of life"
Everything teaches us something. It is upto us if we learn. Hope you are having a great vacation.
It would be gr8 if storms cud pass easily but then..this is how life is.. we learn frm everythng..
ReplyDeleteNice job done here..

Ans to your Q: Inspiration is a continuous process. My wife inspires me whenever I write love poems and stories - thinking about her. And for the rest of the lot, the things happening around me does the inspiration. I cannot tell you a particular thing or incident. I try to put a backdrop, but often, it is a group of incidents that inspires me.
"Continue reading option comes in every post :( what to do?? How do I use it only on specific posts?? No idea ...
Keep reading :)

Welcome to my blog, mate. Thanks for the read and for the visit. I'm happy you liked it. Sometimes, you know you cannot just let it pass - I mean, not that easily. I know I may sound like an hypocrite here, but its true that at times, you just cannot let it pass. You need to take steps to let it pass. Otherwise, it may stay till eternity.
Hope I did not give you a wrong message here. Keep visiting :)
