Ocean to Sun:

My Sun- You fill my soul and heart with bliss,
Life inside me blooms with your gentle kiss!
My Sun-  You are means for my existence,
To nourish me you have voyaged a great distance!!

Sun to Ocean:

My Ocean- Your restlessness marks your splendor,
And your stillness have no contender!
My Ocean- You are a true reminisce of being alive,
You teach me that rising  and falling is an emblem to thrive !!

We are on a road
Towards eternal bliss
It takes infinite awareness
And endless patience

We are always in it
It has no beginning or end
It can be infinitely long
or endlessly short

Like falling down forever
without ever hitting the ground
you might feel painfully afraid
or extremely blessed

We are conditioned
To believe it is long
That we need to run for a while
To be able to see love comes on

The concept of happiness
Is learned without questioning
For why does it need a cause
Or requires something in exchange

The road to bliss is right here
You can feel it in your heart
To know what you desire
keeps you running forever

Unconditional happiness
Is experienced through awareness
Of the infinite brilliance of creation
And the endless beauty of existence

Have you ever thought about
The chances of your existence?
Of all the things you see around you?
Of the infinite causation
it took for all of this to happen?

The existence of heaven is right here
You only need a little gratitude to hear
To finally see everything with love
and never take it for granted for lack

And you get to decide how long you'll walk
To see and feel the love in your heart
And breathe it deep in
through the bliss in the air

What will you choose?
You decide
Because in the end
It's just you walking
Just you dreaming
Just you loving
Just you...
Breathe in that sweet bliss

with time whittling my days down,
the plurality point of my days long since
surpassed, my poems to the wayside
fall as new generations seek the voices
that are nuanced to their ear, tastes,
I remain, for the more obvious, more now than ever,
forever for the poets who sign their emails to me with:

I close with much gratitude


spoke or unspoken,
you-see I-see your poetry nuggets in everything,
the extraordinary ordinaries!
that delight the weakening eyes, move the ****** muscles
upward and outward, those nuggets by that,
one can grasp
the nexus of existence in words few and singular, open/close,
and the filters that mark life as word worthy,
salutations of words like:

Gratitude

and all that matters is this simple, my friends, my children,
that I go down in days full of gratitude
for them, for them.

I watch as the sun is slowly pulled down to the horizon
The dusk sky stained with swatches of pink
Orange, yellow and blue mix together
The clouds ripple through colours like soft waves

By Anon Butterfly
Remember to be grateful for the little things in life sometimes.

I had three bowls of cereal today
Is that interesting? Is that strange?
What if I told you it was Cheerios
A cereal I intensely hate?
Suddenly I'm in love
Suddenly life is beautiful and so is fate
Even if I am in misery, in the darkness above
This shallow pain, this filter over my youth
It cannot touch the core of my being
The beliefs I stand for, they still hold true
If I could opt out, choose not to exist
I would turn it down with great satisfaction
Hell and hell all over again with pleasure
I feel lucky to be alive
I am lucky I get to taste
Even the ******* cereal...
Thanks, Cheerios
You're actually pretty ******* great
:(: Getting more and more depressed each day, but feeling more and more in love with life and inspired to create :):

Thank you
From the bottom of my heart
For being there
For being by my side
For being so strong
For lending me your strength
For allowing me to lean on you
Through these temporary yet troubled storms
Once crushed by others
But now of my causing
And my choice to cease
When I remember to
Rise above, easily and consistently

Thank you
For believing in me
For truly believing in me
For supporting me
No matter what
In spite and because of my many dementors
Who, with your help, I am kicking into touch!

Thank you
For caring
For sharing
For giving me so much of your time
For showing me there’s another way
For showing me the way

Thank you
For being there

Thank you
For being you

My heartfelt thanks and gratitude
As the mists begin to clear
And the dawning of a new age beckons.....

The future depends on our state of mind
Be grateful and leave the past behind.

Tell the judge what he is ought to hear
Make it clear that we humans are born to be free.

You can wish and hope for more

Without being ungrateful

Without making yourself poor.
