The sunshine is mild and friendly
After misty days, darkened by ambiguity
The smoke has lifted, a clarity of vision
Is felt in the balmy air of certainty
Fumes of exhaustion, eroding the soul
Vanish as the new winds blow
A clear sky, a new world opens up
As a lotus slowly unfolding its petals
At the touch of first sunrays
Suddenly it all clears up
You know what is meant for you
And what you must forgo.

If only clear air and certainty could stay..... That said, it's a good poem.
Hi Nosheen, Loved reading this lovely poem: At the touch of first sunrays Suddenly it all clears up You know what is meant for you And what you must forgo.- And what you willingly forgo is what you gain in life. Life's lessons.. Nice..
I love the imagery of fumes billowing away to be replaced by clarity, and the quiet stillness, the certainty of what we know must come next so skillfully unfolding in the final line. Beautifully written, my friend, and a great pleasure to read and contemplate. Thank you.
A profound write that removes the cobwebs of thought and grants clarity. Enjoyed this poem. (10)
I like the image of clarity in a clear sky. I sometimes feel that after a fresh new snowfall. Everything looks cleaner, clearer. As the new world opens up...that clarity of environment translates to clarity of thought and path to action. Well done Nosheen. Thanks for sharing. -P
Bursting with a beauty that is not only creative but compelling!
A clear sky, a new world opens up As a lotus slowly unfolding its petals............................ Beautiful image! When the misty veil is lifted, everything gets cleared! I feel the elation you experience at this moment! Lovely poem, Nosheen!
Excellent depiction. Interesting to read. Let me quote... The smoke has lifted, a clarity of vision Is felt in the balmy air of certainty Fumes of exhaustion, eroding the soul Vanish as the new winds blow. Thanks for sharing.....10
