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 11/2/14

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
