Contentment Poems - Poems about Contentment

The Stillness Beneath Me They said I’d know I’m fully alive when laughter bloomed or sorrow cried. But both are gusts that pass me by— and neither one has ever lied. Yet neither tells the whole of me. They come, they go—I watch, I breathe. The truth is not the thrill or ache but what remains when both do leave. Contentment is a quieter...

With eagerness I make my way to my favorite place Where gratitude floats freely above every head Where happiness is the coverlet that embraces each bed Where laughter is contagious and strikes the young and old Where love is a daily garment that adorns every soul Where joy is a feather that nudges all to soar Where the house of contentment...

Giants creep through disguised as trees. Tiptoeing by the ancients asleep underneath. A deep slumber echoes from the ground. A blanket of silence filters the sound. The mist rolls in and the forest takes a breath. A crow takes flight and comes to a rest. This mossy rock becomes my throne In the center of my newly found home. My spirit wanders, and...

I had overeaten. So I reached inside myself And pulled up whatever could be pulled up From strength that I could muster up I labored long and hard And eventually brought forth Snow capped mountains And sky scrapers dignified by the rays of the sun And the tallest pines with cones intact And stars draped with clouds, silver lined And song birds with half-sung melodies...

"Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon 'em." — Twelfth Night, Act II, Scene V Some are born to crowns and gold, With power strong and wealth untold. Some will climb, with sweat and pain, To carve their names and stake their claim. And then there’s me—a simple bloke, Who’d rather nap than wear a cloak. Greatness...

Fresh ocean air Oh, take me there! To the place below the hill Three hundred years I hold it dear Ancestors can be felt still For all I've roamed My heart knows home And it cannot get it's fill How does it long! For ancient song And the view from mine own sill A seat of peace My mind's at ease Oh, the terrors a place can kill Soon I'll...

Not all inherit a father's noble name, Some learn deceit, others theft, and shame. But I, blessed with a virtuous sire, Inherited values that my heart desires. My children will learn to reverence age, With humility and sobriety, they'll engage. A caring heart, I'll pass on to them, Diligence and God-fearing, their guiding gem. Emancipator, Eldorado, Ephaptha too, Will learn the core values, integrity...

How dare I seek for validation Longing for something more. I only deserve my own damnation Why do I need an open door. Why would I ever need a toast Who ever heard of me. What do I even have to boast What more could I really need. They ask me "Why the cruel ambition? Don't you have enough? With your rags and pain and...

At night, death's dark whisper resounds Chasing dreams, with bloody sweat unbound Awakened by fear, his heart does pound Beholding death's spirit, all around By day, sleep flees, a rare reprieve For he has slain it, with restless grief A little slumber, a shout of doom Forever haunted, a troubled tomb Through "Baba Gbonka's" dark, deceitful gate He sought wealth's shortcut, a fatal weight Riches...

A jolly mind delights in acquiring knowledge, a cheerful heart dances to the rhythm of flapping leaflets. The pleasure of learning new things, the satisfaction in doing what you love, the bliss of your soaring knowledge, the exhilaration that sends you straight to the high-heavens, the overwhelming contentment of being in the cusp of literacy, the contentment of being an erudite. The heart...

Looking out of the window, Staring into droplets of rain Drawing patterns of emptiness on my window panes… I try to comprehend, The very meaning of life When all I could think of is ‘Sans,’ ‘sans,’ and ‘sans.” Weirdly enough, To my own dismay, I am content by the very non-existence of any meaning to life. The void makes me delighted. ...
