i need to learn how to abide
in times i want to run away.
in times when i cannot provide,
i need to learn how to abide—
to go inside and find my guide—
i need to walk a calmer way.
i need to seek how to abide,
in times I start to run away.

How deep
The shackles of self-disbelief
Grip the one
Who seeks the Sun
The ultimate test
Lets not rest
In our quest
To live lightly
Not take ourselves
Or life too seriously.
Great write, Tristan!
A powerful poem. Your poem revolves around the struggle to remain grounded and calm during challenging times. The poet expresses a desire to learn how to "abide" in moments of distress or uncertainty, indicating a need for inner guidance and resilience. You focus on themes of self-reflection, emotional turmoil, and the pursuit of peace amidst chaos.
Good write, enjoyed
I thought this would be summat like: A lingering sound, ominous, terrifying, (the sensible bit, then it turns daft)..... a glug from somewhere, we hear. Do we know from where? Of course we do, but WCAT any further! lol.
Don't we all need to learn this living amidst stress everyday. Well written my friend
