Misfortune

When misfortune follows misfortune like violent waves
I get frightened by the deadly surge
I look for shelters like covered caves
An unknown person inside me makes frantic urge

It seems that misfortune will never end
My mere existence will face painful doom
I passionately hope  for a benevolent friend
Who will take me to a safe home

Suddenly a strange voice starts to mutter
I stare around to see the person
Something seems to move and flutter
I feel that somebody delivers a sermon

I get courage from the words of wisdom
Misfortune begets fortune and freedom

I see the freedom standing out for me more then the mis fortunes and fears.

I think we have the same mysterious person whom shares wisdom and courage with us.

Thank You so much for your writes , You are correct I do very much enjoy your writes.
I couldn't stay awake last night to do more but I spend more time enjoying more of your writes this week. I can connect very well to what you write about and you express it so delightfully.
Please don't ever feel pushed to pay tit for tat.When I enjoy someones work as I do yours, I will sometimes do many at once to get caught up.
With me, just come and go when you please.. I like sharing, but not forcing out of an obligated feeling :-)
Gary and I are enjoying and singing this morning and raising the clouds with fun and Joy and seeing all the good and hoping it chases sorrows and hardships off the face of the earth.
' I'm sending lots to you and plenty to share. Have fun with it and share it :-)

Misfortune is certainly frightening, because it seems that bad things heap up on you. But there is always hope, as misfortunane will fade, and good fortune will shine.

[zainul]

Thank you for pinpointing the essence of the write.
I am very glad that you have taken time to read and review the work.

I really enjoyed this poem for I see many possibilities for it: I have rewritten your first verse in my own style to give you some idea of what I mean. You may keep this version as your own: It would make a good song:

Wisdom

When misfortune’s crescent waves
scare me with their deadly surge
where I run for hills and caves
I feel a redeeming urge.

[zainul]

You are a unique talent indeed.
I am very glad that you have rewritten the first verse so splendidly.
Thank you for stopping by to grace the work.

When a read a poetic verse, I always search for that Occam's razor that buried within the verse.

[zainul]

You have mastered the skill to find and present Occam's razor that buried within the verse.
I congratulate you for the contributions:)
