FISHING FOR THOUGHTS

IN GENTLE CONTEMPLATION

HE CASTS HIS LINE AHEAD

TO REST UPON THE WATER

WHERE HE HAS THROWN HIS BREAD

THE FISH IN NO GREAT HURRY

JUST KNOCK AGAINST THE FLOAT

WHILE IN THE LAZY CURRENT

HE DRIFTS WITHIN HIS BOAT

CLOUDS IN SILENT MOVEMENT

CAST SHADE UPON THE SCENE

AS IN A WORLD OF WONDER

HE ROAMS INTO HIS DREAMS

WITH EYELIDS THAT ARE HEAVY

AND FLICKER IN THE LIGHT

HE WANDERS OFF TO NEVERLAND

WHERE ALL THE FISH WILL BITE

FOR IT’S NOT IN THE CATCHING

OR WHAT HE’LL HAVE FOR TEA

BUT ALL ABOUT THIS MOMENT

WHEN HE IS TOTALLY FREE

Magic in a Cuddle

There is magic in a cuddle

There is joy within a smile

It’s nice to drink in laughter

If only for a while

So cherish every moment

Of things that come your way

For life can be so fleeting

And we never count our days

So breathe in every second

And dance inside its charm

Then try to be that person

That gives out love and calm

The one that lights a room up

And greet each day with glee

As you travel on your journey

To a place that you should be

That little piece of heaven

That’s yours and yours alone

A haven of forgiveness

That only you can own

Thought to Ponder – “Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.” – Kahlil Gibran
