Mind and muddle
the lotus stands, unaffected by the dirt, it stands upon
Do we attract peace?
or is it all about gossip or cheats
the mind is always deluded
by matters that tear the soul piece by piece
As age progresses
the brain records well, situations that ended in a mess
if ever, the person loses his beans
then the 'mess' is replayed, to tease and stress
This life is a passing phase
on the journey, to get out of the maze
the goal is to never get attached
and you can win at your own pace
Blessed are the souls who are always at peace
and do not retaliate even when they are attacked and provoked always
Mil is in the last stage of dementia. She recalls events from childhood and tries to run away from the house, packing an old towel, thinking it is her possession. A very sad situation and even more stressful one for us. Please do spare a moment of prayer for her and us
entry for Announcing the Steemit School Poetry 100 Day Challenge! (Total Prize Fund 2000 SBD)
I write poems to express myself. I started writing at the age of twelve or so and some of my poems were published in magazines for children, a time when print still ruled the world. The internet and the blogging world has helped me write poems. Most of it was as I wrote earlier, to express myself and my thoughts. I have also been a ghostwriter.
Steemit has helped me write with freedom and also earned me very good friends who encourage me to write. I hope my readers will support me and also join in this contest. I am not a student of literature and so I do not consider myself an expert in poetry. It is the judge who will decide.
Please join the Steemit school now
