Create The Illusion Of Calm Poem by Dee Daffodil

Beautiful words Dee. This is one I'll come back to. Thanks for sharing. Justine.

Thank you for this.....Your poem and two good strong rum and cokes got me back from my ranting.......I am a lovable drinker....I only get mad when I don't drink.LOL

Could there be anyone who DOESN'T need to hear this? Well I know I do... quite apart from the sheer pleasure of reading such a flowing piece... so thank you. t x

Words of wisdom abound in this fine poem. I call it 'the magic if' a word coined by Stanislavski, the famous Russian actor and director. He used to say if you were playing a part which you found difficult, use your magic if. 'If' I was in this situation, 'what would I do'? If I was calm and controlled and at peace, what would it feel like? I've used it so many times in my life - and not always on the stage either. Thanks for penning this. love, Allie xxxxxxxxxxx

Can't argue with this advice. Others who are under pressure need to see it in the eyes of those who would help them - esp in your line of work - and it's a very fine thing to nourish the strength that actually allows to you feel it as well as look it. Solid writing from start to finish, and sound advice Dee. A very fine poem. xx jim

I liked this poem!

Dee, I think that everyone needs to hear that, but, not calm as much, as the illusion of control in thier lives! ... Enuff fillosofee! B.V.A.

Gee, this is such an amazing poem! It weaves through it such truth...Amazing truths that we should always try to follow! This is one of those poems that I wish I wrote because of the message and the great way you displayed it! Thanx for sharing I will do my best to follow those guidelines just that much more today.10/10. Take care Dee... =Shelley=

Dee, this is officially one of my favorite 'words of wisdom' ever... In the midst of tough times, it's often beyond our reach, that calm. We need someone to remind us. Mind over matter - it works. So, if it's all right, I'm copying this to post on my mirror. And here's love to a wonderful soul: YOU! Esther : ]

I like this poem because it shows that whatever life throws at us, we have to deal with it and carry on. There is great strength in creating an illusion of calm, so much so that it becomes no longer an illusion, as the calmness will exist for real (if you get my philosophical drift :))
