Turbulence is the Ride of Life
Turbulence is the ride of life,
the undulations that make us know we are alive:
contentions, emotions and loving moments
that keep us whole within our dreams and nightmares,
that smooth those edges of understanding,
to better know the path we earn.
Stillness is the stagnation from our fears,
the focus of self-limitation
that keeps us from our destiny and our rightful destinations,
so by relenting on opportunities for change,
we learn nothing and keep within the known
to repeat the same actions and consequence.
Change is our savior, our teacher,
for within it we see truth unfurl, possibility proposed,
and for a soul of growth and acceptance,
a life filled with all it should be
in our quest for learning and the ascension of mind
to higher states of consciousness.
Love is the answer to all fear,
for it alone can transcend the negative
to deliver us to self-realization and happiness,
and in acceptance, a life filled with purpose and understanding,
that by its very nature will rid the consequences of folly
to find true peace within heart and mind.

Wonderful poetry. You are so right Tony love really is the answer to all fear.
Glad you agree, it sounds so simple, and it is, yet humanity finds it diffiuclt to grasp amid the confusion of living. Cheers!
