Chance Changes.
Time moves on remorseless yet fresh starts
appear plausible
if from parched discord
we form opportunities from which to carve.
Clearer choices for cutting free expand lone
coaster-rides for
tried surprise days may
harness adroit colour into muddy unknown.
Distress creates apathy while unrestrained
euphoria decrees
time to chance changes
for better kept, happier new mind-states.
Relocated those truncated dreams retreat
to re-form, tired
maybe but soon adorned
in fresh resolutions avoiding future defeat.
Pushing ahead, cutting fresh cloth again
we trash failure's
design to let choice sew
empowerment then Solo is worn unafraid.

Great poem, Faye, and a great quote too.
Yes that quote woke me to write the verse. Thanks for the comment Fred.
Good write Fay.
Thanks for the visit Goldie - - choices are so important in life.
Thanks for Sharing & Caring FAY ~ What you say is true we can turn any situation for GOOD or ILL ~ I'm an OPTIMIST so always say "Every Cloud has a Silver Lining " but my PESSIMISTIC Colleague (and we all have them !) turns round and says Yes so a priori "Ever Silver Lining must have a Cloud !" It's all a question of attitude ! Yours as ever BRIAN
Thought you would appreciate the read about coping with situations which can drag us down - your comments are always so welcome dear Brian.
Great poets spawn the best interpretations of the greatest quotes. This is such an interpretation Fay. ; )
Lovely that you enjoyed the read and thank you humbly for the compliment too.
Yes a powerful quote and a super poem to go with it.
Yes Michael so powerful that quote that it woke my responses in poetic reply,.
I like this line "we form opportunities from which to carve." Awesome motivation poem.
Thank you Rrodriguez and I really appreciate your visit and reflective comment.
