Poem: Ripples of Self
A tale of accepting the rising turmoil within us
Waves of doubt crash against my spirit
Ripples of self gently rise beneath
Like a map unfurling
In the tornado of thoughts, violently swirling
Against internal terrain
Of devastating pain
I sink deeper away
From the sun’s soft ray
Leaving behind meadows of kindness
Where flowers sway along blustery winds
Yearning for a moment of serenity
Amid the murmur of expectations and reality
The ripples of self dance beside me
As I rise and breathe
Pushing away an internal feud
Reaching towards the shore of solitude
Where my dreams feel ethereal
And my spirit suddenly surreal.
There is hardly a limit to the intensity of our emotions, isn’t there?
But amid every feeling, there are ripples of hammering thoughts surrounding us.
This poem is an expression of that turmoil and the strength we all push into ourselves to fight against the doubts.
