I’m on track to recover some of the joy of living I had as a younger man.

A truly perfect day
I’d be proposing to
The love of my life
Under the Eiffel Tower
As it lights up at night
We’d walk around Paris in the rain
And drink all night
Falling ever deeper in love
But back on planet earth
Keeping within the realms of possibility
Today was pretty close to perfect
A solid days work
A coffee with a beautiful stranger
Pizza and a parents approval
The gym and a quiet night
In the bliss of solitude
All this calm
This nourishing of the soul
Is as new as the dawn
As fragile as a snowflake
And as precious as a gem
Let this be
Just the beginning
Of recapturing
The love of life
I had as a youth
And the inner peace
That’s eluded me this past decade
Let love grow tall
In every direction
And maybe, just maybe
I’ll be a peace with the world
For years and years to come

If you were to ask me what would be a perfect day for me, you’d be asking two questions, a perfect day if anything was possible or a perfect day that could realistically actually happen.
As the poem says I had a wonderful day this week mostly because of a date with a stunning woman I met on tinder.
I recently showed a mate some photos from ten years ago and he was struck by the fact I actually looked happy. I feel like I’m on track to recover some of that joy of living I had when I was younger.
Beautiful poem! Glad it’s going well ❤ have a great day, Christo!
