Silent Currents of Life

Silent Currents of Life

This poem explores the silent struggles and power dynamics often experienced in workplaces and life at large. It reflects on inefficiencies, rivalries, and mistrust hindering progress and harmony. Yet, it also emphasizes hope, trust, and resilience as the keys to overcoming these challenges. The poem calls for a collective effort to rise above discord and create a more unified and purposeful existence through self-motivation, introspection, and collaboration.

 

Mind’s balance is a compass to attain steady life goals,
Stumbles are quiet gurus, shape each moment unfolds.

Life is a close lens, where all walk their winding path,
Each day brings trials to test resolve or awaken wrath.
Frustrations rise, plans falter, harmony begins to fade,
Even unmeant acts can cast their long & lasting shade.

Can I recall a time just free from sorrow’s endless tide?
Joy & grief entwine; life seldom offers a smoother ride.
Hard work & honest effort often fail to yield their gain,
Is this lacking skill—or do others just cloud what I aim?

In this world, some get endless brief admiration -gaze,
Yet honor rests in deeds, not in hollow & fleeting praise.
Each must fulfill his role, & play the right destined part,
When results fail, leaders must act with a stubborn heart.

Silent games unfold unseen & hiding power in their sway,
Everyone seeks control, yet trust dissolves along the way.
Warnings echo & directions flow, but action can still stall,
When egos clash and motives blur, systems weaken for all.

Motivation lights the spark, yet trust keeps the fire strong,
Good deeds endure & find a place where they truly belong.
We falter through pride, anger & doubt—emotions betray,
Yet trust built on sincerity shows the path in a benign way.

Progress fails where hatred toxins life’s once fertile ground,
Harmony within sparks growth & spreads gently all around.
History bears mankind’s scars and laws etched in every age,
But wisdom finds its voice when strife smoothens into sage.

The world churns unseen, its currents both silent and strong,
Yet efforts rooted in truth can heal when things turn wrong.
Though discontent shadows linger, & our actions can renew,
When aims & patience guide, progress will follow through.

Stand firm & resolute; and elevate above life’s quiet strain,
Calmness & dignity light paths where lasting truths remain.
Tolerance heals deep wounds, turning pain into noble deeds,
And harmony sown with care blooms into ever-fruitful seeds.
