your wise words could relate to them for am now facing my own storm indeed. things sometimes out of blue turn from happy bright to upsetting & full of gloom. this is the challenge we should take. face it and slap the adversity on its face.

thank you,

yeah it's how we deal with what we can't deal with that determines the victory... still much to learn on my side about this approach... i just feel useless all around, it's probably not the way to go i know... but what else can i say... i don't ask for this crap coming my way... i just want it calm and somewhat what could be considered "normal" to just knock at my door for once, you know... oh poor me... i'm an idiot... don't mind me... your text is right on, makes a whole lot of sense... it's the way to better times never backing down... that's how itneeds to be done you're right... good text zoya... just my head out of it... *hug* xx

Zoya ,
Literally a really good piece of work, steeped in true philosophies of life.
You must have gone through a hell of a suffering to give birth to this. That is again the cruel irony. From sadness, beauty is born.

OK Tai Chi, point taken, it can happen when a poem is written spontaneously in five minutes; How about this:
Know that life is never the same,
Never smooth-sailing, never even-tide,
Sometimes there'll be storms, sometimes Gale,
Sometimes ebb and sometime flow.
It is not what perils stalk you in the way,
It is how you fight them while you go,
It is how you come out a victor every time,
that matter in life; It is this that defines your existence.
So, stay and face the wind direct in your countenance,
No matter how blustery the weather, how fierce the gale!
Fight and never show your back to the adversity-
'Cause misfortune has a way of chasing those who tend to run...

These are indeed wise words Zoya, but I suspect not everyone has your strength and character, but I'm sure Liam will make the right discision or at least whats right for him, If you read this Liam, merry christmas and hang in there my friend.

I like the sentiment of your poem zoya, but I think it stutters a little with repeated words too close to each other such as 'a way' and 'wind' and 'face'. I hope that you are not offended, I just think it needs tightening up a little and the lines shifting so they flow more naturally from line to line. All the best intentions to you, Tai
