Sunday Whirl Wordle #73

A blue marble
Whirls through space
One of millions
A splendor true
I am here in this
Small remote corner
Place of grace
My life a blessing
In silence I survey
The world as far as I can see
Mountains rugged
Peaceful cows in green pastures
Blue skies forever
Yet…
I am reminded the coin
Has two sides
There is much
Suffering in the world
I am shaken
To remember how hard
Life can be
Warriors are called
To fierce attention
Each breath precious
Hold on for dear life
Every day a new battle

I love the change..how it can be wonderfully magical lost in the skin of a marble..but the game is much bigger perhaps..a battle..those peaceful moments are good though..even if rare..jae
It is such a good thing to be able to count our blessings and to know we are so blessed and yet, realise that millions of others are not so lucky. Humbling indeed. This is filled with beauty, contentment and compassion. Lovely.
We are lucky, aren’t we, so many of us? I like your poem’s reminder of the not so lucky part, while still appreciating what we have.
This reads like a prayer, Annell. I love your recognition of both beauty and suffering. A strong contribution….thank you.
I agree it’s hard at times to remember how lucky we really are compared to others in different parts of the world.

Like your flipping coin, Annell. We don’t always remember the balance when we are in one side or the other. Again, my friend, this reads like a meditation, am liking what you are creating,

Astute. Bittersweet. Nicely done!
And those warriors? They are sometimes the most unlikely people.
I like your short, uninhibited lines!
Whirling with Myself
A good reminder to look beyond our nose. 🙂
Beautiful done.
