It isn't enough to be content with
The way things are, the status quo
Nor is it  enough to love the dream
That enables me to have life's best
My  intent is seek to find lifes zest

I choose not to be captured by
The mundane matters of the world
I stay tuned ,but not entangled
Choosing instead to learn of  what's ahead
For what is here is only temporary

There is a rich vein of information
To be discovered in the mines of the soul
When you let your mind dwell on Creator
You learn that creation is within you
From that source you can look ahead

I'm very saddened for the unfortunates
Who can only think in terms of "things"
Wanting what can never truly satisfy
Instead of obtaining the peace of wisdom
Love and relationships require only truth

To desire what is ephemeral is foolish
A hug costs nothing, nor does a kiss
Complimentary words cannot be bought
Listening to family and  friends problems
Uplifting the spirits of others, are all free

Knowing at death all is left behind
Wisdom is to know Creators mind
