Cynosure

Being happy was my wish for cynosure, in living, I sought either fame or wealth... having seen the results of utter foolishness; although I claim nothing, I have everything. No villas in Hollywood with a big screen and pool, no ranches on the wild prairies of Southern Texas, no suites on the Upper East Side* or Greenpoint,* only a studio in Queens*where I write and compose. Cynosure can enrich or even destroy someone's life, it's a light we are attracted to, its brilliance is delusive; and following any dream we must stay on the same path, not diverge and go astray to find something so destructible. Many have a cynosure for arts, others for law and science; whatever your vocation is: follow it and be very successful, on the contrary, the majority of us must settle for much less, leading a normal life and raise children who'll become leaders. Let your cynosure for contentment fill you with great delights, learn from the wise and the smart, choose wisdom and life; drink wine, celebrate each given moment with sheer thrill, and despite your rank, you can't be denied the joy of living. * Upper East Side: New York City * Greenpoint: Brooklyn, NY * Queens: one of the four counties which make up NY City Written on 6/27/2016
