Walking the tightrope
that’s life
you are bound
to lose your balance
and fall down sometimes.
Do not be disheartened.
For downward it may be
it still is a distance.
Try not to be tough either.
For falling rocks shatter
on hitting the bottom
and iron only buries itself deeper.
Be flexible.
You will bounce back.
And who knows
you might also get hold of
a diamond or two this time.
For that is where they are found.
In the depths.

I really like this; a wonderful reminder that it is okay not to be okay, but that you will be again.
“Try not to be tough either.
For falling rocks shatter
on hitting the bottom
and iron only buries itself deeper.”
I really like these lines, wonderful imagery the impact of that first line made all the more profound with the impact of the visual imagery.

Great advice, Sundaram put so poetically, inserted into a fall and yet we are rewarded with a key.. to making life easier. This poem felt like a spoonful of solid wisdom that had just the right touch of sweetner, so we could ingest it so easily…a delicious lesson learned.

And again you made poetry out of a comment Karima, something only you could do. Thanks for feeling it, and expressing it so well. A beautiful reflection of what I wrote but your mirror has calm blue water of a lake for its glass, and is framed in gold. 🏵️🏵️🙏
