Cozy Contemplations - 22. Chapter 22 Holiday Musings

Holidays are a time for reflection, and a reminder for me to appreciate the good, and learn from the bad. Peace to my friends.

Cozy Contemplations

 

 

 

Chapter 22 Holiday Musings

 

 

Consequences can often loom

Bringing on a tangible gloom

Or yet, a way to force a bloom

To brighten up the darkest room

 

Whether action or reaction

Spurring on a life’s redaction

Or a sparkling interaction

Lending fuel to new attraction

 

Such possibilities abound

Joys can be lost, but also found

We can’t let fear run us aground

What goes around, does come around

 

There is a point to my musing

Humanity’s oft confusing

At our worst when we’re accusing

Blind to what we could be losing

 

Yes, there’s a chance that we will bleed

If, with effort, we don’t succeed

Though it could nurture hidden seed

Whose growth may bring us what we need

 

Life has a way of balancing scales

The moral and message of many tales

Where mortal man overcomes his fails

Putting oar to water when wind spurns his sails

 

In the end our strength is community

And we can’t live life with impunity

Nor from pain do we have immunity

But with hope we engage ingenuity

And weather unfair incongruity

 

 

*

 

 

We are resilient if nothing else. Happy Holidays. I know we all have blessings to be thankful for, even if our lives are not ideal. :)

The world cries out for more sentiments like these, my dear friend...keep inspiring us with your clear wisdom.

 

And, y'all can jump down my throat for being non-pc, but  Merry Christmas to All, and to All a Good Night.

For my other friends, Happy Hannukah, and God Jul!

Thank you, CG :hug:  ... any form of well wishes are PC in my book, dear friend :heart:
