A whirlwind sometimes gathers your life

A whirlwind sometimes gathers your life

A Poem by B.J
"

The puzzle of life

"


A whirlwind sometimes gathers your life,
Full of words buzzing around in your head
Nibbling in the sitting room of your head,
A haze of smoke, brewing with anger and frustration,

Amongst a lifetime of working, your fingers to the bone
Changes are rare, but in reality nothing changes
One generation grows up and moves away, and another arrives
Still nothing changes

As the sun rises on another day, the sun also sets on a day
The earth revolves a full circle in a day
North and South the wind blows, so many directions
Sometimes you can not tell which way the wind will blow

Watch the flow of rivers, all flowing to the sea,
Rivers that keep flowing, forever and ever,
Everything in life has a beginning and an ending
Sometimes it can be boring, sometimes exciting

Something I am reminded of is
"Life will travel full circle,"

I often try to explore the meaning to life,
Search for the meaning of life
Look for something new in life

Year after year it was the same old thing,
I found tomorrow each morning now
Gone is the same old story
I know tomorrows happenings will be forgotten
Nobody will remember them
But for now, "I know I will"
Life is still so new for me

that first stanza especially resonates with me, but the whole poem is wise, and well penned. Life can get on this perpetual loop, it plays in the head and through the days. I think I am on one now. But I have plans to step off. At some point the path will straighten out and I will move forward.
Found this one resonant.

Lovely feeling here and I must be a sucker for expressions so : "the more things change, the more they stay the same" and as the writing guides through the journey it admits that some superficial changes will take place and change the outline of events yet turbulent changes do not affect reality on a deeper level other than to cement the status quo. It is rather left to us then with a fresh set of eyes to enoble and recreate to embrace the everyday.

And the seasons they go round and round and the painted pnies go up and down....

Thankyou
