LIFE IS A THORNY ROSE BUSH

ABC Wednesday     TWO SHOES TUESDAYl                  WORDLESS WEDNESDAY

D is for delight and deluge.

Tangled webs and lengthening shadows,

Can’t freeze the blessed delights or dewy meadows.

Pain or grief may intermittently fall in torrents,

Yet to wallow in apathy is surely abhorrent.

Flashes of ecstasy, may in number be few,

See, how they bedeck life’s multi-layered stew! 

Youthful aberrations deserve righteous censure,

Yet, toiled triumphs call for applause in good measure.

Amidst deluge of tears and anguished pining,

The new day’s womb may carry a silver lining.

Isn’t a child’s angelic smile a heavenly boon?

To bury the negativities and push us to croon.

Can one stop the ripple of dreams in a bride’s mind?

Though, noose and fire may end the unbearable grind.

Evil forces that axe the human ties,

Are weaker than those who smooth the billowing cries.

The floodgates of hatred may seem overflowing,

Yet,the potent human spirit’ll never cease growing.

Let’s live life as a sacred endowment,

With the ammo of love as the only armament

Friends,welcome here as always!
