Rare Finds
I chance upon
This rare book find;
Brown yet beyond
The pages sign.
For days and days,
I sift new thought;
Old wisdom says
Align bold plots.
The author writes
In words said plain;
The reader cites
A fragrant stain.
Each chapter tells
In clear detail;
Each message dwells
How not to fail.
One sheet prelude
For summary;
One attitude
To make me see.
Old book spine weak,
I tear each sheet,
Summary speaks,
Inspired thoughts greet.
I feel delight
At this grand find:
So much insight
To fix in kind.
Words of a seer
With pathway thoughts;
Prompt acts to steer
Fun, wit and plot.
Words that speak out
To inspire zest;
Word profound bout
To light life's quest.
A message found,
"Live On Purpose"
On earthly grounds,
Let love imburse.
Twenty-five sheets
To meditate;
Light for the feats
That gravitate.
Gratitude stills
My heart and mind
For thought and feel
Know love most kind.
The author shows
A wise sure grace;
Dan Millman grows
A sublime space.
The reader heals
Old hurts and pains;
Words heap a fill
That knowing gains.
Old pages ooze
With happy fare;
No need for booze
To clear the air.
Sanguine this talk
Of making sense;
Poignant the walk
Without pretense.
So here I tuck
Rare vintage finds;
Thrill magic luck
With peace of mind.
Read line by line
To glimpse thoughts wise;
Learn to feel fine
For a small price.
