Twists And Turns Of Life <br /> <br />We are displayed with such beauty <br />as we begin this life - <br />pain and wounds had not yet mangled <br />the beginning of our time. <br />The innocence of existence <br />shines through so pure - <br />with a display of vibrant colors - <br />flickering with a dance of passion <br />for life that is brand new. <br /> <br />After a time, though, <br />the twists and turns began - <br />unrecognizable from its beginnings - <br />through strange entanglements. <br />Entwined and knotted with rejections, <br />coiled and bent with tears - <br />obsessions and fears marred its innocent beauty <br />we once had so revered. <br /> <br />Hands cover our face <br />as we desperately cry out for help - <br />all at once realizing <br />that the darkest of nights <br />brought us back to ourselves again. <br />Painful tears running uncontrollably, <br />like a wild river down our face… <br />only to realize we have come to an open space - <br />of acceptance and love <br />we thought we never had. <br /> <br />~Viola Jaynes<br /><br />Viola Jaynes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/twists-and-turns-of-life/
