Farewell (For Now)

We meet again under a new sky; 
We live and love and laugh before 
once more we have to say goodbye. 
We part with a promise of an encore 
like waves returning to the shore.

Outgrowing Apathy (Feelings – Better Too Many Than None At All)

~ Madhumita (ms_reluctance) ~ 2 Comments

Feelings,
those insidious little things.
They niggle, make you squirm,
sneak in unawares,
make nebulous all that is firm.

Feelings,
those traitorous little things.
They lift you up, make you float
then change without a warning
and sink the damn boat.

Feelings,
those warm little darlings.
With you through harmony or strife,
your companions, they let you
revel in the drama called life.

It is remarkably difficult to find
that moment in the middle of a day
when nothing is on your mind,
all the chaos just fades away,
and somehow you know that you will be okay.
