ripples of life’s journey in reality

Two of a kind together hemmed in
Shouldering life’s indulgence profusely
Extending a support of five on five
Reflecting on how unwieldy impacting

Clear view of expectations brewing
Visual picture accentuating its burden
Can ten on ten wrought with heaviness
Sustain a glare of test of times?

Perhaps the image intruding in duplicates
Will seduce a mind to readiness in form
To explore eventualities of acceptance
To favor difficulties in sharpness of contrast
Yet swaying in ripples of life’s journey in reality

Devoid of smoothness yearned desperately
By those who strive to better themselves
Kinks bends and pebbles along the way
Scattered about are obstacles to overcome
Unobtrusive but there placed as crazy-paving
To rightly resolve with natural flair and some

    5 by 5 some can surely be, as the pebbles and bumps get in the way but they continue on persevering through

    Can the ten of reality become the ten of reflection?

    I like it when someone writes a poem about contrasting differences of equality and cause and effect. These types of poems really get the reader wondering and thinking, and I know for a fact that this is important in poetry. You really captured the balance of decision making.

    I for one certainly enjoyed the rhythm and flow. It definitely kept moving right along. It reminded me of Dr. Gregory House in a way, very wity, chatty, clever with a hint of sarcasm, but it's hard to argue with the mastermind of course, because it all makes sense! Some might argue that it's the sad part, but I find it refreshing! LOL! I like it!! :)
