*Stranger is just a friend you haven't met
*Grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.”
*Accept what life offers you and try to drink every cup. All wines should be tasted some should only be sipped, but with others, drink the whole bottle.
*You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down
*I can walk any path. I no longer need to control my direction.
*If we are all alone, we are all together in that.
* Mental reflection is so much more interesting than TV, it's a shame more people don't switch over to it, They probably think what they hear is unimportant but it never is.
* Waiting is painful, Forgetting is painful. But now knowing which to do is the worst kind of suffering.
*Before he can devote himself to God or a woman, a boy will devote himself to his father, even foolishly, even beyond explanation.
*There is no such thing as destiny, there are, just different choices.
*A Man is not all about one thing.
*People are much stronger than what they think they are, sometimes they just dont believe it
*Memory is a wonderful thing,if you don't have to deal with the past..
*Every song needs to end, but thats no reason not to enjoy the music..
* If you look for them, you will always find some reasons, so why look?...
* It is ok for people to do mistakes and disappoint me. But What If you wake up some day and realize you are that disappointment
* Its easy to turn your back on life, but can you forget the people who mattered to you?
Virtual Ramblings 
A plea to the natural forces to go away. Provided, in some of them, we are not partly responsible, of course.
Nicely done.
i know,it is really sad…hope we can all do something about it…
such events only strengthen my disregard for such a supreme being should there end up being one…..
How I wish these were ‘impulsive ‘ acts ! Then perhaps we could also hope that sense would prevail and these’ impulsive ‘ and destructive acts may also be nipped in the bud. But the fact remains that they are deliberate . Cruel. Wanton. Unnecessary.
But yes .. we can ..and should ask The One above to help us make these ‘impulsive’ people see the heartlessness and the inhumanity of their actions .
Yours was such a fresh and novel take on the prompt impulse’ . So topical and meaningful .
Thanks for your comment on my poem “Liberation” and the picture that goes with it . When my sister took this one of me and my footprints in Goa about a year ago , I never knew I would blog it !! 🙂
And last but not the least .. CONGRATULATIONS . on your 501st post … may you have many more !!
I like this 😀
I read it to my son, the dragon lover and he took the dragon as literal and thought it was really neat.
As for our impulses, well, they are ‘our’ impulses, not Gods. If He wanted to do he would take over like a tyrant and control us like little robots but thats kind of pointless considering freewill. It’s a theology lesson…lol…too much to write here but if you’re interested, I’ll evangelize ya…LOL
Good read 😀
It is the worst of worst of things that can happen on earth. Why you believed and trusted….the impulse can come-up anytime to shatter our faith! I always fear to go through that way to meet my father……..who knows on which hill top they are sitting and watching us. I feel very sad about all these families. It pains a lot when you come to know that the reason of death is another person rather than God.
It is a nice entry………..beautifully captured and imagined about ‘impulse’! Keep going……..Good, that your exile period was small.
Bless You! ~Namaste~
Your symbolism was fabulous! Welcome back!
There are times when the Guy up there appears to be nothing but a myth, and these are some of those times.
But I always associated dragons with nobility and honour and it was disconcerting to see them used as a symbol for men and women who show no remorse at wiping out the lives of so many innocents.
I would love to know why you came to use them here? What made Rambler pick a legendary beast here? 🙂
nicely put…
I dnt knw what to say really. It is not HIM who is making them do it.. It is them themselves…I hate…I seriously hate such shallow beings.
Oh! Nice poem, Rambler, really well done. Of course, the energy that flows through all things sometimes gets a little excited – the dragon is only dancing as dragons must – unfortunately, it doesn’t generally consider those that may fall in its wake. But everything has it’s own rhythm and perhaps one day, all the energies will be able to dance in accord. 🙂
The battle between good and evil from then to now use different faces. The dragons of then and the terrorists of now contenue to threaten the balance, the harmony. It is for us, for people in the good side of the beam to work together to keep that balance and if everything doesn’t work we call that guy above us. He’s been there since the beginning of time and we are all in his hands. He knows better.
I wish you well.
