This was my response to a comment on my poem 'Gloom'; would like to share...


Stillness in Turbulence

To find stillness in turbulence;
Calm in disquiet,
And joy in grief;
Seek happiness in sorrow,
Depth in shallow waters;
Resurface from deep seas,
To be stoic in crises;
Enduring in strong breeze,
Is the essence of the very few
Who keep their ground
On slopes, no matter how steep...

Inspiring words. I can't seem 2 decide whether many of us in rich nations don't even really get tested by life, or whether EVERY life is tested by misery aplenty...
