    FINDING AND KEEPING PEACE OF  MIND  IN  ALL AREAS  IS  A MUST  TO FACILITATE LASTING HAPPINESS I BELIEVE!  Easier  said than done, GOOD LUCK (smile)

    PEACE OF MIND
    The  fires  of  unfulfilled desires  burn still
    Unquenched aspirations  stoke  the flames  within
    Wanting  to be  all  to be  simultaneously
    My  urgency  is  affirmed  to  me  thru  hurt  so  real
    Lines  pointing  towards  worry and  rejection
    So  unable  to  accept  this  lesson
    Not  willing  to  let   go  of  personal  plans  
    In  my  constant  frame  of  Conviction 
    Only able  to  focus  on  what  I  believe  to  be  missing
    Just  to  pray  for  years  on  end,  lifetimes’  inevitable  end
    Still  not  realizing  how  to  begin  and  remain  consistent
    Feeling  all  fenced  in,  in  everyday  routines  of  same  routes
    Doubts  of  turns  been  past  made  creating  present  direction
    Only remembering  the  slip  and  fall  of  hindsight’s  embarrassment
    Tormenting  from  retold  stories  harboring  negative  reflection
    In  this  piece  of  my  mind,  how  can  I  find  lasting  definition?
    Relinquishing  is  the  addition,  laying  troubles  down  by  mind’s  waterside
    Signs  of  subtraction, by  adding  by  way  of  forgetting…
    Satisfaction  is   not   to  suffer  upon  discovering  fragments  in  discrepancy
    Reflecting  always  on  should  of’s, leaves  my  mind  in  need  of  recovery
    Affecting  dreams  of  places  to  be  of  little  or  no  relevancy
    GOD  promises  protection  to  whomsoever  chooses  to  be-lieve
    Leaving  iniquity,  separates  me  from  the  physical  mind  at  no  rest
    Performing  beastly  tasks  of   lesser  creatures  still  incorporated  within
    Although  I’m  walking,  
    Spiritually  I’m  floating
    Trusting   is   my  guide  and   compass  of   direction
    Spinning,  Falling,  Crashing  or  Ascending……travelling  I  must  still
    Right  the  way by  Peace  of  Mind  daily!
    The  fires  of  unfulfilled desires  burn still
    Unquenched aspirations  stoke  the flames  within
    Wanting  to be  all  to be  simultaneously
    My  urgency  is  affirmed  to  me  thru  hurt  so  real
    Lines  pointing  towards  worry and  rejection
    So  unable  to  accept  this  lesson
    Not  willing  to  let   go  of  personal  plans  
    In  my  constant  frame  of  Conviction 
    Only able  to  focus  on  what  I  believe  to  be  missing
    Just  to  pray  for  years  on  end,  lifetimes’  inevitable  end
    Still  not  realizing  how  to  begin  and  remain  consistent
    Feeling  all  fenced  in,  in  everyday  routines  of  same  routes
    Doubts  of  turns  been  past  made  creating  present  direction
    Only remembering  the  slip  and  fall  of  hindsight’s  embarrassment
    Tormenting  from  retold  stories  harboring  negative  reflection

    GOD is and has kept me...the why is less important but the meaning of the blessing is something that seems to speak to me more and more each day...Thank you so much FlowerGirl for your support and Realness in Understanding!!!

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
