The lines that stood out for me were:

you are (I am) alive with the pain.
As much as I love peace, I want to be moving fast

And my response:



Shades of Sighs
(Tumbling Tercets)


Pain stipples ruddy color
onto my cheeks, though
vibrant shades of sighs

spill forth from parted lips.
I find I’m dipped in blue as
solemn shadows hold me…

returning me to days of
grey and tears I know too
well. But it’s those dark

times that have made me
resilient. And on bright,
white pages the curves

of words and smudges
of black ink bring clarity
to what used to be opaque

having a chaotic life does have its positives, for instance you have the feeling you are alive with the pain.

so all in all

I would go for that mix
As much as I love peace, I want to be moving fast and hitting the high road
