What makes one adored?
Everyone wants to know
A trait you can’t ignore
Is that with whom one feels the flow
Share the joy, share the woes
Life’s stories are infinite
Especially when one is in the throes
Best stories shared are not intimate
Instead, common problems faced in life
That plague everyone each day
Just flex your mental muscles as you strive
No solutions will be kept at bay.
Share with one who is patient and understands
Share with one who listens and makes sense

Thks, Rosalind, now I know you are fine, by the grit and courage you possess. Bouncing back from an episode of restlessness and exhaustion experienced by you last nite, when you appeared to be baffled by some low feelings emitting from your heart, which your mind cannot understand, as Blaise Pascal testified..
Indeed this is a beautiful poem spontaneously sprung forth from the depth of your heart, so genuine and touching , and in addition to haiku and senryu, now you have SONNET. Truly, you are gifted and blessed as joys and peace fill your heart ❤️ again.
