In an ephemeral world one
can never hope for true
contentment

I learned that, some like what
they become familiar with
while others want something
new every time

Neither is wrong, but where
there's too high an expectation
satisfaction suffers a loss

More than ever I see beyond
to the everlasting way that
looms in my future

This is where I must turn my
focus, knowing no other issue
matches it in importance

Too much emphasis is placed
on mundane matters , which
have no lasting virtue, trying to
please, what can't be pleased

Learn to enjoy what we have
knowing it is fleet at best
prepare for the glorious love
to come, that is eternal

So, I'll smile back at the stars as
they wink at me, and tell them
I'll be joining them soon, until then
I dream in loves cocoon 

etw~

Oh mighty soothsayer, your cocoon suits you. Sometimes people just feel guilty about contentment for no reason. Such a spoiler that. Patrick

Love's cocoon–What a lovely thought. Reminds me of the movie, “Cocoon” . A very thoughtful poem indeed.

As the years pass, more and more quickly, I become more and more content with my life, knowing that, as you phrased so well, too much emphasis is placed on mundane matters. Be well and be happy.

How so very true, Sis.
Reviewed by Jerry Bolton 4/9/2012
Dreams are wishful thinking with added oomph. I especially like the way you made the point that it is impossible "trying to / please, what can't be pleased." Therein lies the the true nature of a stress-filled life.

..and that's where i dream, too, Eileen;
so much with you in spirit, imagination
and kinship here

Love these sentiments, Eileen. Your words cannot be any truer than this with a grand wisdom that gives inspiration to those in need of sage advice. "The mundane has no lasting virtue" Excellent write as always from you.
