Quietude's repose...‏

Raining upon my soul's salvation

    spirited winds breaking their levy

agonizing reign of quietude's repose

    whirling typhoons of despair

upheavals of dither's agitation

    fluster'd turbulence plays havoc

      flooded of overflow's emotions, 

mind in a free fall fracas

    blustering temperatures rearrange

            atmosphere's pressure under 

  braggadocio's storm siege      tease

    mood's gauge bent of salvag'd tranquility

Quietude is not always what we hope it to be. It is in the quiet moments that our minds, not otherwise occupied, are as you say:

fluster'd turbulence plays havoc
flooded of overflow's emotions,
mind in a free fall fracas

There is no winning for losing I think.

[Frieda P]

You said a mouthful there Anne, thanks so much for your thoughts.

[David Scott]

Ah... all hope is not lost here wither... You have "salvag'd tranquility" after all...
Yes, something in the air dear Frieda.
I did enjoy the kinship here in your write.

[Frieda P]

Ha yes, but it's bent! ;-) Must be kindred souls dear, thanks so much for your thoughts here Scott.

Flows as a river calmly goes. Into tranquil waters sumerged in goodness that arose. Terrific one this is.

[Frieda P]

Grazie mille BlackRose, jazz'd you enjoyed.

[K.N. Lorenzen]

Overwhelming streams of visions! I dig the phonetics too!
Like a mouthful of sweets :) Beautiful.

Why, my dear?
Why the music? ;)

K.

[Frieda P]

Thanks so much K, I take it you don't like the music?

[K.N. Lorenzen]

You are welcome, Frieda:) I turned it off immeadiately, so I really can't tell.
It's just the concept of music accompanying the poetry. It distracts me :)

Sometimes we just need to get away from life and the uproar it has caused. Maybe go to Belize or something. :-) shall I book you a one way? Heehee. I'm coming of course.

Loved this one, this is perfection. xo

Sometimes we just need a quiet place away from all the chaos called life. To rejuvinate...free our minds of the bs and maintain sanity. If you find that place let me know..I'll be there in a minute. Seriously need some healingbhere. xo

[Frieda P]

Ya mean like Belize, sounds like a plan, thanks so much Red. xo

Sometimes something can happen that completely puts us into a funk and we spiral into a hole. This is a powerful, emotive write.

[Frieda P]

Thanks K, I guess I did good on this one, no mistakes, eh? Yay.... ;-)

[Lyn Anderson]

Yes, no apostrophes running amok.

[Scott Metro]

I know what you need.
You're dealing out dark cards..making your bets on the table of despair..
Spawning a typhoon of synaptic gridlock..
I like it.
Scotty

[Frieda P]
