"Paths Dimly Seen"

in #poetry6 years ago

Afrah, Addu City, Maldives.jpeg


Our paths are seldom obvious to us;
We step blindly or by instinct alone.
What once was sure and clearly in focus,
Has become dimly seen, almost unknown.

Where shines the sun so warm and so bright,
Is offset justly by darkness and night.
This is the balance of our creation,
The way of the world, no reason for fright.

The world is changing, as it always has,
Adapt or die is where our futures lie.
Knowledge and Wisdom of what always was,
Buffer the shocks of our days as they fly.

Old pathways submerge as new ones emerge,
Hold true to your hearts, deny all panic;
Believe in a world where loving will surge,
Resisting the tides, turning so manic.

The world is changing! Adapt or die is where our future lies!
When I think about the world today I feel sad to see that so so many are still not empowered and are still living in the past

I'm glad you liked my text but I didn't take the photo.
I always thought I was clear about this; I use CC pics
For the most part, copyright free. I'm sorry if you
Feel deceived. I did not mean to do that. If I
Take a photo, it is clearly marked at the
Bottom, that I took it, where and with
What device (camera or cellphone)
I will be changing my means of
Letting you all know about

Your pictures are awesome. I would like to take part in your photo contests. I love every picture of you. Everyone can take pictures but not all the good quality pictures can be collected. A good quality photo shoot. I'm your photo fen. Real and clear your photos. You got to sell the pictures. thanks you for share it.

I appreciate the comment @kalpona, but 90% of the photos I post are CC, or copyright free images from either Unsplash dot com (like this one) or Pixabay dot com.
If any photo I post is or was taken BY ME, I state it plainly at the end of the posts.

You have me mixed up with someone else:
"I would like to take part in your photo contests."
I sometimes participate in a contest, but I do not host or start any.

thanks you. i follow you than i can see your contest.

I just said, that I don't run any contests, but I
Welcome you following me, I can probably
Point you towards a few contests.
Thank you. I hope you
Enjoy my blog.
