We can wallow in the mire
Or let the spirit stoke our fire


Sunsets flame across the sky
Radiant reasons for celebrating
If we take time to look and listen
To a Universe always energized
Giving birth  ever new and glorious


What do such spectacles say to us
The beauty of the sun rising in the morn
The indigo sky sparkling with stars
The Oceans ebb and flow of spectacular waves
The coral reefs with abundant varieties of fish


Massive mountains with snow coverd peaks
Tall trees, branches reaching towards heaven
Valleys with meadows, forests, babbling brooks
Magnificent flowers of every color and kind
I have yet to mention animals and humans


What Creator,nature,and all creation says to me
We would be much better off if we stopped
The negativity, bitching moaning,and worrying
Be thankful for our fruitful lives, and share
Our love, goodness, and kindness with each other


We can wallow in the mire
Or let the spirit stoke our fire


etw-2006

You always have a way of writing something for the mood I'm in. Not feeling very satisfied with myself these days, this turned on the light. Thank you my friend, you are my favorite poet!

You lay out your stall here, and the choice is quite simple..

Either have a healthy, positive outlook to life and Prosper.....or alternatively adopt an unhealthy, negative outlook and have total Despair..

Excellent advice here

Love and Light

PS Hope and pray that they get those horrific wild fires under control in Cal soon, and God Bless those poor firefighters who perished in that conflagration..
