when

free verse all repetition is intentional "when" when life seems darkening when stumbles knock on doors let the butterflies surround when humpty dumpty plummets when chaos shadows sun and moon let their illumination through when rain overflows when cold remains inside panes will blanket remember to breathe when faced with it all SkyWatcher 01-21-24

Hi dear Lisa, when all seems dark and good fortune is not seen down the path of life - 'remember to breathe, when faced with it all'. Very wise advise my friend, that is when we must keep it all together, and that is what families are for, to rally around us. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Hey Lisa, your poem resonates as a poetic guide, urging the reader to seek solace in moments of darkness, find beauty amidst chaos, and, most importantly, remember the elemental act of breathing when confronted with life's complexities. It's a testament to the strength found in embracing the present moment, no matter how challenging it may be.
