From Where We Fall

in #story9 years ago (edited)

Adrift…
in a maze
of narrow opinions,
everyone brandishing
their ragged flags to wave.

Hurled headlong
into the breach
of each new day
we see the horrors
of how quickly
life can turn

but into the empty spaces
the breeze can rush,
blowing away
the tangle of our problems

Stripping us clean
of all uncertainties,
fetching us
from where we fall.

Beautiful work Eric. So much tumult in the world right now, sometimes you just need a good gust of wind to make your mind clear.

Thank you for your kind words, @voronoi! These past 100 days, especially have been mind-blowing I can't even imagine 3 1/2 more years.

Beautiful and inspiring!

Wow.. well written and great choice of gifs

Thanks! I tried to use the gifs to help tell the story. It took a while to find the right ones.

really beautiful and apropos @ericvancewalton!

I appreciate that, @natureofbeing! I've been thinking about how we can peacefully exist in this troubled world today. Thanks!

HI @ericvancwalton, beautiful poem, and you are right, life can change in the wink of an eye, we must make sure that we are ready for it.

Thank you, @rynow! I agree 100%, we must enjoy the moment but be as poised as possible for future uncertainties.

Thank you for the good advice.

A rebirth of life - this is beautiful.
