” Be calm
Be peaceful
Be aware “
He said to me ……
” Life is easy
Life is beautiful
Life is rich “
He said , ” believe me ” !
I was always on the edge
jittery tattery
faltering and tripping
screaming and weeping
” cool down ” he said
with a naughty smile
sneaking out of his moustache
spreading across his face
and comfort in his green eyes
I tried to adapt
I tried to gather
I fell down and hurt ,
bruised knees
remind me of my tether ,
Better late than never
his peace caught on my soul
his demeanour brushed on my whole
now in control
now nothing to troll
though balance and equations
defying laws of physics
Me with my ethics
and He with his basics
” Be calm ,
Be peaceful ,
Be aware “
He said to me !

Somewhat intriguing with a side order of disquiet. This might prove quite a challenging work for the reader to encounter given the uncertainess of the voice or its motivation.I was left with the impression that the voice had nothing good in mind for the object of his commands.
A challenging ,powerful,and enigmatic poem.
