Peace That Lasts
Whatever the day has made
The night returns with calmness
Viewed by many
All wonderful versions of mellow
It is here where we can sleep and dream
So different than what we experience in our physical form
Having so many things to do and places to go
Always seeing but never really understanding
Interacting with so many different people
All with a range of attitudes and interests
So foreign to my own agenda
As I dive into the action
I am more of an observer than an active participant
For many years
The roles that I followed
To seek and search
Often missing the best choice of all
To discover
Trying to find a place
Where all I had to do is stretch
Then I could feel
We should not be concerned with all things
Because that is a major character flaw
Our vehicle of transportation is easily abondoned
When we return at a later date
Effortlessly trying to fix
Any old problem that exists
Many times too late
To change the outcome
That we had always hoped for
Little did we know
There was a way
Finding the real me
Under so many layers of authenticity
All claiming their rightful place
None of which I want
In time it will sort itself out
We can stop feeding the inferno
The energy will flow quite well
With a sliver of inspiration
Persistant willingness
We can only then
Rediscover the world and it's true nature

Gypsy Rose Lee I love the way you talk about your day and the current events. I try to read the newspaper and some of the headlines drive me crazy. When I struggle to write and enjoy all the lovely treasures of life some people throw them away and hurt other people for no reason. I read about another senseless shooting and so many people affected by the shooter or shooters evil ways. I know most people are good and work so hard just to make ends meet. The people I really care about that are good friends I somehow put them on the back burner while I try to sort life out. I want to share good things and sometimes bad things make their way through. I can't imagine the sadness and struggles so many people have. It becomes overwhelming for me. So I turn to my wife and hold her and Charlotte our cat and pat her and make them so comfortable and safe. I appreciate you responding to three hubs so fast. Most of the time you are the first to read and comment. It takes me a while to get back to you but and I love to hear all the amazing good and the little bad that enters your day. It puts life in perspective and keeps us balanced. Happy Friday. May today be beautiful and warm. More rain today here. We had one incredible day of sunshine yesterday. So I am not complaining.

Everything is usually peaceful in my little world however now and then online the world does come crashing in. Two things good and bad. Prince Harry and Meghan Markle had a baby boy and Russian Aeroflot crashed at Moscow killing many people. That provides me with my dose of reality and the looking out the window and seeing in the sunshine shadows two ears appear and I know my Sid is coming for lunch. Presently he is polishing off my corned beef hash and egg breakfast.
