The tides swelled like my upsurged hopes
Smashed up the sand castle fondly built
Blown away to smithereens by waves of misfortune
Fragmented by despair and anguish the toiled
Beneath a debris of sorrows and failures
Smothered my hopes and aspirations
Wrecked in the rubbles of collapse
Deep in the abyss shrieking for that lift
Gasping in the chasm for zephyr
Overcome the travails pleaded my heart
Where is the promised land of paradise?
A shimmer of the pipe dream does incarnate
Bolstered by humankind and spurred
To rise from the cinders and detonate the faith
mydigitaldiary 
good one

What an inspiring thought! The waves of misfortune can never crush us as hopes and aspirations get empowered by the ‘faith’…flowing in our veins…’shimmering’ through despair, looking in the eyes and breathing a quiet message…’get going’! 🙂

Why a poem so melancholy? For every small detonator in life there are many boosters to give the lift and thrust.Best wishes!
