So Much Optimism

In the absence of complication,
trials and tribulations become distant memories.
So many wonderful moments.
Distorted in the exact right ways.
Becoming more cherished at each thought.
In the absence of truth,
stress and disappointment enter your dendrite field.
So let’s not have that.
Instead, let us rejoice and cherish 
Each moment for it is ours
and ours alone.


Above sapphire skies delight sanguine eyes -
inspiring forthcoming musings of the mind.
So much optimism!
So much hope!
Wide swaths of faith!
Whether you are religious or not,
Spirituality is alive and well in your heart.
Your mind recognizes this at a mystical level.
Above this earthly plane, angelic hosts
lift us onto their laps during sleep times,
nurturing us softly so we can hear our unique voices.
Ah, sweet sleep.
Nurturing us gently.
Thank you ever so much!
