Sizzles and fizzles of life ~

Prompted by a conversation with a friend...

  Life is so often a tough cookie to crack

            forsaking good for the bad,

has us crumple and quiver in its quake

  crumbles & rumbles quite often

              amidst a raging roar

a cacophony of treasures and pains

   within kaleidoscopic views

mosaics of the heart,

   transparencies of the soul

pieced together within cracks and glue

        unfurling in yesterday's tears & fears

once upon a time, we can't fathom

        why, when or even where

   sand seeps out upon the hands of time

fork'd tongues, and jagged roads

  dust and particles of diffus'd light hues

a musical tribute in poetic words,

 about the chemistry of life's pitfalls and glory be,

 of history's stars sizzled & fizzling 

    throughout the eyes of a universe's dream

I couldn't add more, life is full of surprises, beautiful surprises and very often bad surprises that makes us forget the good we have had in the past.

We revel in our triumphs but our disappointments and worries seem to overtake us as time passes. It is an unfortunate part of life. I am always amazed by those that seem unscathed. Your words ran through me and I embraced them because I know them well:

dust and particles of diffus'd light hues

Life can be difficult but imagine how easy and boring it would be without everything that happens... I know we have the times that really get us down and we think 'what is the point of even being here anymore?' or 'Why is this happening to me?' but would we really wish it on other people? I have seen be asking those questions a few times and scolding myself because I have such an amazing wee brother and the perfect life, I now have you and Jack, Steve and so many more here at WC, I try and get through it all with a positive attitude which can be hard. You're such a strong person, one of the strongest I have ever met and I am so proud to be your daughter. :)

This is so relatable and true, I loved the wording and imagery. It was written to perfection, Frieda, reall it was. xo
