Levity, Tragedy, and Good Friends

Levity, Tragedy, and Good Friends

A Poem by Davidgeo
"

.

"
Tragedy of the unavoidable variety is truly best to be laughed away
Like a shield, good levity deflects away the worst parts of our reality
Like a treasure chest, good friendship exists to keep the better parts close to the heart

So from many we can become one and together illuminate even our darkest realities
To bravely and boldly, even in the face of terror and calamity, find new possibilities

The tragedy of the tragedy is that it never ceases to infect your reality
The blessing of the good friendship is that it never ceases to infect your reality

Good friendships are a boon indeed and....levity the treatment to get off from the melancholy...Am never blessed with such good friends...but must be a more than pleasant feeling while being with them!
If they can take a stand for us by being a backbone at every disaster no wonder how many such inauspicious they can decline...
And the true fact I got to know they're never harmful to any reality relating to our past, present or upcoming future...as they're good friends believing in togetherness!
It was pleasure for me to read this.....any critiques or constructives are welcomed from me....thank you...☺

great cool thanks
Having friends is an amazing part of life. And having them there to lean on when you are going through things is even more amazing. Everyone handles things differently, and has their own coping mechanism when things get bad. I'm glad you have people to lean on when those times come, or at least I hope you do.

I figured you did, no worries. Thanks for your comment. I'm glad you enjoyed.
There is sound logic in what you said here. One can chose to laugh and be happy when there is no choice. Again, even that needs discipline and perhaps is relative to people. Like me, I take jolts badly and an inordinately long time to recover from them and they don't make me a better person. As for good friendships, it takes work to find and hold on to them but if it works out then indeed it makes for an awesome reality.

On the whole, this is quite an uplifting poem and I liked the rhyming pattern.

Gee
Thing is s**t happens, but if isn't of our causing, is out of our control there is no point in dragging the weight of its fall out around with us. Life is far to short to be worrying about what might happen if....
As for friendship, the older I get the more I value my true friends, and 56 years into my journey to the grave I have but a handful. These people I might not see for months but on meeting them it's as though we only spoke yesterday.
Touch wood, never faced financial hardship or any major dramas so don't really know how many of my many " friends" are of the fair weather variety, quite a few I'd imagine.

This is a different type of writing from you. This is the first thing that I have read of yours of which connected to me on an emotional level. You believe it best to deal with unavoidable tragedy in a light hearted way, it takes the edge off a horrible reality. Maybe you were writing about others in general, maybe you were actually writing on a personal level? Having good friends who understand what that unavoidable tragedy is, has to have some impact on a positive level and help to make life more bearable. Without friends life would be very lonely.
