Buddhist view on aversion and desire,
cognises oscillations between them,
thereby sidestepping consequence dire,
nipping thorns and flowers, before they stem,
equal in dark and star of Bethlehem.
Cessation by negation, age old ways,
far cry from the tantric, who to joy sways,
dancing at all times in celebration,
imbibing within bliss, that always stays,
given to play, in vibrant elation.
One view accepts that what is, simply is,
thus centered in the void, without movement,
choice of non-action, exiting thought quiz,
heart equipoised in quiet contentment,
whilst the other infuses joy intent,
each breath inflow taken as divine grace,
burning yearning to see God face to face,
all acts performed, in aspect surrender,
seeking out the truth, at a burning pace,
whilst beholding Gods manifest wonder.

The dog of my life
This is not an evening when one feels jubilant
When I look out of the window, I see a few cars going up and down the road till they reach the roundabout and drive back past my window
There is nothing to be surprised about in this town, dramatic car crashes happen in America
Where Hollywood is afire
When I lived in the countryside and had a dog
We walked in the forest and there were always new things to discover, often we stood still and listened to the silence, we could hear trees Coming home I lit the wood stove while the dog
Oh, so lazy stretched out on the sofa, feeling
while I was in the kitchen preparing her food
I had given up telling her to eat slowly
Contentment never lasts, we had twelve years
Together what’s left is a wonderful memory
Blessings
Suddenly, I heard some promoting
My passion is the downstream encouragement
And the incentives never stimulating
That moment my soul grew pushing things going my way confessing
Blessings
The exhortation seemed happy ambushing
And its eyes have all the apprehending
'It's that contentment,' I muttered bliss containment
I discovered the graces within the distance
Instead I uncovered the lure
What could there be more purely sure?
That moment my soul grew pushing things going my way confessing
Blessings
I heard a heavenly, driving stalling
The aura smiled
That moment my soul grew pushing
I discovered the graces
I discovered the graces
I am encouraged and confessing my , blessings
Happiness
By Franklin Price
4/7/2015
inspired by June Baker
Happiness how to define
Is your happiness the same as mine
Having things for which hell bent
Or is it just to be content
Keeping up with Alias Jones
Expensive cars and camera phones
Yachts and mansions first class cruisers
If you don't have them are you losers
Do you eat and have your fill
Not be in doubt of your next meal
When it rains be dry inside
Make enough to stem the tide
Wealth is not about the cash
To have it all a frantic dash
To strive for things that mean so little
Above contentment all's a piddle
What does it take to be content
Find happiness at least a glint
Dwell on the basics and you will find
Happiness and peace of mind
Self is first of all the most
To love yourself but not to boast
Then treat all others as if were you
Contentment comes as if on cue
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we trust His sovereignty.
He fixes our minds toward His promises’ certainty
Building our conviction through His Word’s immutability…
Let’s esteem Him for guarding us by His love and security!
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we pray to Him constantly.
He invites our souls to commune with Him sweetly
Drawing our spirits to fellowship with Him delightfully...
Let’s thank Him for bringing us near His heart intimately!
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we entrust to Him our motives to the innermost.
He meets our needs first and foremost
Granting our wants that fit His plan to the most…
Let’s praise Him for leading us to His will’s utmost!
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we surrender to Him our frailties even in silence.
He discerns our groanings by His power’s presence
Interceding for our yearnings with His persistence…
Let’s glorify Him for helping us reach His throne’s iridescence!
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we go to Him in faith every time.
He strengthens our commitment all the time
Upholding our vows by His truth against cooling time...
Let’s salute Him for assuring us His answers in due time!
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we express to Him our heavenly quest.
He fills our emptiness with His provisions’ best
Leading our contentment-search to His divine treasure’s chest…
Let’s honour Him for opening to us His service-doors to their widest!
God triumphantly fights for our battles as we cleave to Him without ceasing.
He moves us to cling to the truth He’s expressing
Exhorting us to enjoy His gifts of divine choosing…
Let’s exalt Him for welcoming us to His kingdom’s blessing!
*Exodus 14:14 The LORD shall fight for you, and ye shall hold your peace.

"Be happy in the moment, that's enough. Each moment is all we need."
By Mother Teresa
dewdrops
on Lotus leaves
each moment.. quivering,
shivering, trembling, translucent
lucid
vanish
flick of an eye!
contentment is a bliss…
happiness a godsend blessing
rare boon
cherish
every moment
hold love tight, don't let go
though every second counts, fragile
is life

POEM OF THE WEEK May 27 - June 3
Mirth’s brightness… like sun’s rays… warmly vibrant
Engulfs my heart seeing my child’s delight
Radiating contentment for ice cream-licks...
Midst laughter of a champ so jubilant
His eyes sparkling with cheerful neon light
Beaming gladly, subduing tantrum’s flicks.
“Thank you, Mom” asserts glee’s sign language bliss
Earnest gratitude, bereft of naughty tricks
His exuberance beyond satisfaction-height
Overwhelms complaint-angst I must dismiss
Learning to be content along joy-picks…
Praising* blessings’ Source!
*Psalm 84:4 Blessed are they that dwell in thy house: they will be still praising thee.

I am a poet
A weaver of words
I'll bring you the sunshine
And the songs of the birds
I'll weave you a dream
With the words that I write
I'll take you away
To a land of delight
I'll weave you a story
Of a girl and a boy
A story of love
A story of joy
I'll take you away
I'll set you free
I'll give you contentment
If you'll follow me
Yes I am a poet
And I'm happy to
Weave a fine tapestry
Specially for you
So just read my verses
And open your mind
Then close your eyes
And a new world you'll find
Denis Briggs
hello to you
i want to live now
when you smile, resurrection is renewed in me
hello to you
i want to forgive now
when you hold me, the sunshine expresses her most illustrious golden radiance
hello to you
i want to inspire now
when you kiss me, rhythms of old become new again in my mind
hello to you
i want to retire now
when you love me, you heal my world and bring warmth and contentment to my self worth
hello to you, my love
i want to thank you now
my heart belongs to you, my love
your elegance and grace influences the whole of my personal growth now
if i die tomorrow, i want the my last request to be
a simple kiss and i a gentle 'i love you' in my ear from you to me
