Two Worlds

I breathe in today
And exhale my past
Neither defines my existence
A ghost with flesh assumes me
Grasping perceived truth in every
Frailty of human condition
Only admission of failure is real
Sharing this emotion with another
Brings me peace
A smile between two who know
Sets me free to search my soul
For the happiness I seek

This is a poem that makes one stop and ponder; the first two lines setting the right basis for deep thought. Sharing and understanding both contribute to peace of mind and happiness. Have a nice weekend. // paul...with a :)

Hi, James! You are so right. Every day is new which offers us other opportunities and avenues to explore. I send a smile to your soul and I hope you will find the happiness you seek. Sometimes, I find, if you help others to find their happiness, it will come back to you. Blessings, Darlene
