Lifepoems

I live beneath the veil of life
Yet tread a path sustained.
I search to feel the rays of
Hope, and on and on I toil.
And then a nugget of wisdom
Gifted, from a friend gives wings, and
Lifts me to the warmth of a smile, a
Recognition of that elusive happiness!
A glimpsed moment of a chased dragon.
And I settle on top of contentment basking,
Till my equilibrium settles once more, and
My veil returns.

Your poetry is awesome! The flow and imagery works so well in this. I also love the way you used the idea of the veil to bring out the temporary nature of that contentment. |

I recognize that happiness and then, POOF, it's gone.
Very sad and somebody needs a hug. Even if to lift that veil for a moment, I send hugs your way.

I love the demonstration of the ebb and flow of positivity and hope here.
Like someone shaking your hand one minute then slapping your face the next.
Clever work as usual.

Hi Anna,
A precise, and somewhat forlorn description of
shattered hope. But, hey! We rise and hope
again!
