A Change Original Poetry

The Change

In life's complexity I crave
sweet tranquility...
I yearn for rest, seek simplicity.

The days fill with trial and delusion,
hunger bends in quiet seclusion.

I look around and all I see are souls in anguish,
sorrows moving me.

I am plagued with myriad choice,
A chance to run or raise my voice.

I'll be a change I hope to see,
A buffer in adversity
When I lay my head to sleep
the dreams that come will murmur peace.

Thank you, that's so sweet <3 much love and I do so appreciate all your support.

I love this one. It's kind of moody and dark. I have a soft spot for that :)

Thank you for reading... And yes it was a bit moody. You seem to do moody very well..smiles <3

raise the voice! thats a beautiful peace. the best part is when you mirror yourself in words of others. like.. who needs mirrors anymore?!

Thank you for reading and the compliment... I do appreciate it!

This is beautiful!! You are speaking to something so many of us feel right now. But you are so right. If we want change, we need to be the change!

Thank you, @mariannewest. It's such a simple truth, but often we can't see the forest through the trees. <3

Great cadence and message.

You're a good writer!

Thank you! So are you!

"hunger bends in quiet seclusion..." What a beautiful line! "...the dreams that come will murmur peace" also, both lines that feature intangible things (dreams, hunger) taking action.

I think that rhyming poems are easier to write, but ultimately harder to write well, so when I see that a poem is using rhyme my antennae tend to go up. I relaxed after a line or two with this one tho, I thought you made excellent use of the form without it feeling contrived. Beautifully written, following you :)
