I look within my own eye, and see a void
so deep, so light. so green with flowers
blooming across a pasture of grace, love
and eternal contentment.

There is no sense of enjoyment until you
find the pearl of satisfaction, wisdom,
understanding of why we must continue
to go on with enthusiasm.

Living is filled with excitement waiting to
write the next chapter that enlightens our
curiosity, pleasure of body, hearts fondest
desire, down yonder beneath our own
depth of life itself.

How interesting instant happiness can
flow to the surface, without wishing for
nothing, but a pleasant thought of something
simple and beautiful

Guess that means, if you are totally contented
with life the way it is, you must be lucky to have
found that little space in your life that brings
flowers blooming in wonder, other wise
their is no explanation for the peace you have
locked within your heart, willing to share that
secret of true happiness found, without why
this something special was ever found.

Must be the door you saw when you were young
and decided to find your way back to the door
small, plain, rusting away, not a spark, of desire
to be opened, just a feeling that it must be opened
and find that magical key.

No demands on thoughts, love, feelings, only
a simple understanding, of your inner-self,
That is what I found, a life of pure gratification
within my own soul.
