Warmth,
filters through
as a balm...
soothing troubled thoughts,
laying aside trepidation;
Calming, reassuring comfort
lifts and spirits away doubts;
In this world are many fears,
gathering momentum, taking
into the swirling abyss the faint
hopes of many;
To fold beneath the weight of
sadness only holds emptiness,
hollow regard for life as it
should be lived;
Shrugging aside this melancholy
for lighter moods, brings such
gentle reflections;
No more will I walk down the
easy route... I shall make my stand
and walk with confidence in my step,
smiling and taking each day as it comes.

Thank you

Lol, love your eloquence...made me smile
The little book of calm evaded me for many years but having found it I am loathe to return it and as for car alarms, they are ever silent in my world....maybe the odd blare of a donkey every now and again but nothing stronger 
Thanks for your comments, as always they are very much appreciated

I do appreciate what you are saying and yes you are very correct in saying that it is not always possible to have the will power when it is needed. Life holds many torments for each of us to try to juggle and quite often we drop the ball and loose the battle but only for a while, we then regain our control and learn to juggle with conviction . We each have strengths which we have to learn to detect and then use to our advantage...not always easy I know from personal experience, but not out of reach either. Thank you for your point of view, I do appreciate any input.

Wow, such a soothing poem to be reading today of all days..it is "Father's Day" and we should be honoring the only "Father"that has ever held us in everlasting love! Spirit be with each of you today and always!

Life affirming poetry normally just sounds smug. This didn't so much, so well done. I ate the little book of calm once and I had the power to stop car alarms.

You are lucky if you can control your feelings with an act of will. Many can't.

Excellent poem
Awesome job, such emotion and very spiritual, and very uplifting.
I am speechless, such a wonderful poem -
That's quite an inspiring piece you have there. I most certainly enjoyed the read of this poem. It's a positive poem that really provokes and perhaps motivates people, such as myself to look about things in a brighter perspective and attempt to withstand the negative in our world today. Fantastic job!
Cheers,
