Poem Title:
Poem
Find happiness There are so many things that are not as they should be, That sometimes people think that everything is wrong. I can only speak for myself, but I do still believe, There is hope in many places, in many people, in many songs. If you do have faith, then that is your choice. I am faithful when I am in love. I write for myself to give myself a voice. My silence means I am busy working, writing my books. A paragraph here, a couplet or two there. There are so many words to be found everywhere, That poetry has become like air. It floats through the soul, never growing old, And like life, it passes onto another. It goes where it goes. If it means nothing to you, Perhaps you should choose some other wordsmith. Another poet; another writer; Or just say nothing, read nothing, do nothing. Whatever makes you sing your own song is worth it. Read the contents of the label if you do not speak the language. Head to Milan or Naples, and absorb the culture, Before going to Rome with your kids. Feel free to roam before you see the Cascata, Wherever they may flow. Travel Europe before heading home, And if you are still not settled when you return, Pack your bags again and go all around the world, In a one person boat, all alone. Do whatever you need to do to find your inner peace. You will find love wherever you may be, If your heart is open to seeing new things. If you are closed to human contact, Then you will forever be taking a step back And no forward thinking, future thinking thinker, Will ever be attracted to that; But if solitude is your desire, Then stay alone, although the mountains will seem much higher. If you are truly happy, you realize fortune is temporary. I know I dream of one day raising a family. We all have our dreams; We all have needful things. We wish for change, But those who live in the moment, it seems, Are eternally living their perfect day. Life is not perfect and never will be, But even if it is great and can only get worse, At least it is not my misery. You still have to work to improve it. Alive in this state of man-made bliss, Is a footstep away from catastrophe, So do not wait for life to come and find you. Find your own way to be happy. (C)2018 Aa Harvey. All Rights Reserved.
