Enjoying It

Joy Of Being

Bombs are bursting in air. I don’t need to know who
They explode for nor why indeed they do exist
In the first place. I’m not that good at history.
I’m detached from the troubles of humanity.
Much practice it has taken for me to resist
The temptation to nurture the negative view.

I enjoy life. I’m not always in a good mood
But I know enough now not to let myself get
Too far out of alignment. Right now I feel fine.
I feel as if I am causing the sun to shine.
To the world I feel that I’m a major asset
Thus my faith in humanity can be renewed.

I’ll use this moment in the most productive way
By staying elevated. I can do that by
Savoring the good feeling. It doesn’t require
A whole lot, but I must have a burning desire
To stay there so that I don’t even have to try
To be happy. It isn’t a high price to pay.

Life does not have to be all that complicated.
I know how to get happy and how to stay there
For a good while. There are many forms of success
But its truest measure is how much happiness
I can have and give others and how much I care
For the life up until now that I’ve created.

Feel Better Always

Geometric Emojis

Contrast is, by its nature, a wonderful thing.
It gives meaning to life. You need not feel badly
In the midst of a difficult situation.
You have choices, but before anything is done,
Feel your way to a better place. Then you will see
Clearly the value the contrast is offering.

What makes contrast not feel good is choosing poorly.
When you find fault with someone and feel negative
Emotion overcome you, you’ve not chosen well.
It’s a fortunate thing when quickly you can tell
That it’s happening. It isn’t worthwhile to give
That feeling more attention than there needs to be.

Why go there and feel that way? What sense can it make
To stay stuck in an ornery disposition?
It takes determination to get yourself free
From the torment. You must vow to live happily.
Your dreams then have the chance to come to fruition.
Know how you want to feel with every breath you take.

The difference between asking and complaining
Is enormous. Before your thought gains momentum,
You decide that it’s going to be a request.
Nothing will come about if it’s wrongly expressed.
You can get used to beating the happiness drum.
Keep yourself aligned with what is joy sustaining.
