Dance of Dilemma
"The Dance Between Adventure and Comfort"
In a bustling café on a rain-soaked street,
I sip my coffee, the world at my feet.
But deep in my mind, a storm starts to brew,
A dilemma’s creeping, and I’ve got no clue.
Two paths diverge like the lines on my palm,
One leads to chaos, the other feels calm.
The left is a whisper, sweet and seductive,
While the right screams danger, so wild and destructive.
A text on my phone from a friend in despair,
“Meet me tonight, I need you to care.”
But the clock's ticking loud, I have plans of my own,
The lure of adventure pulls me from home.
Should I ride the thrill, feel the rush in my veins?
Or stay by the fire, sheltered from pains?
The rain taps a rhythm on the window so bright,
It dances my thoughts into the dead of the night.
What if I go?
What if I stay?
Choices like ghosts haunt me day after day.
The thrill of the danger, the warmth of the known,
Two sides of a coin, and I’m all alone.
The doorbell chimes, it’s fate at my door,
A heart full of questions, with answers galore.
So I close my eyes, let my instincts take flight,
In the " Dance of a Dilemma," I’ll find my own light.
Author's Note:
This poem captures a moment that many of us can relate to—the tug-of-war between comfort and the thrill of the unknown. It captures those quiet moments of contemplation—sipping coffee while deciding whether to stay in the warmth of the familiar or leap into the thrilling unknown. I hope it resonates with your own dilemmas and encourages you to embrace the journey of making choices.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

A profound one, Komal. Stepping out of the comfort zone,in any context always poses a dilemma indeed.
such a great talent 👌
This poem is captivating and relatable. I particularly resonated with the line, "A dilemma’s creeping, and I’ve got no clue." 💕
We all have to, at some point, choose one of two paths. I hope you always choose the one closest to the bright path to benefit you and your family. Your writing always exudes craftsmanship and depth.
Evocative! what a masterpiece :)
