Nothing, easy…. Nothing comes easy, at least, no thing worthwhile; every step is uphill, yet, begets a smile… for if into sun we’re climbing, then perhaps the night may rest calm; and if troubles persist a soul, mayhap some words would be balm. This is a time for cross-roads, perhaps a time to adjust the scales; take stock before the Maker, and ask Jonah of the Whale; shift the sands of uneasy to a sand that is quick, and sure, while life is finding time to offer its’ simple cures… To seek a horizon’s quest, and not shudder from all that is unknown to tarry awhile with life’s awesome, and not hold it, all alone… I hope this, in momentary… a sweet second of some bliss…. is kin to ever-knowing, a moment that won’t be missed. ~*~ © Karilea Rilling Jungel April 17, 2005 |

Ah, when I saw the date on this poem, as if it were a great wine, I said it was a good year, blessed with beauty and wisdom! I'll have to read this again and again, to truly taste of its goodness. Thanks, Sunshine, for sharing this marvelous poem--- art |

The prophet Isaiah decried the people's disaffection for struggle, when he said,. ". . you say do not speak unto us right things, but speak to us smooth things." Nothing, easy---such wisdom endures the test of tome. art |

Yo dear Sunshine, Life isn't supposed to be easy. That wasn't/isn't God's intention. Nice work on this poem Hon. Love Bobby [This message has been edited by Robert E. Jordan (02-12-2009 12:51 PM).] |

This made me think of shifting our own personal paradigm. And how we can tweak it to change our outlook on life. I am tired right now LOL!!!! Surprise Miss Sunshine It's me!!!!! How have you been??? I have been away for too long!!!!! It's nice to see you my friend!!!!! HUGS!!!!!!!!! "Somewhere, somehow, it should be possible to touch someone and never let go again.

You've got that right, Karilea. Nothing ever comes easy. Sometimes, it takes a lot of hard work and effort to get from one place to another. |

Surely nothing comes easy, if it did may be we will not realize the worth of it. Lovely writing. |

"I hope this, in momentary… a sweet second of some bliss…. is kin to ever-knowing, a moment that won’t be missed." What a beautiful inspiration, Sunshine. Isn't it splendid how we can take a look back and learn again from our own words? |

Dear Karilea, you have put a lot of thought into this one and too true, life was meant to be easy. But the satisfaction you gain when you have conquered your problem makes it all worth while. Great write my friend. Love to you dear Lady Lindsay |

Sunshine - good things never seem to come easy for some reason. But when they do they are worth waiting for... BC |
