Give thanks for that little crumb of happiness.
01/03/2021
Acquiesce to the rapturous nature
Of freedom from jail
Of freedom from failure
As life improves every day
As I gather pace
Ine the modern rat race
Let positivity prevail
Let life unwind
In the best possible way
Let life be kind
A mountain of work
Toil that’s welcome
For the ripe reward
That soon enough beckons
Too much of everything
Making my heart sing
Myriad possibilities
All better than
Any given day
In the local town pen
The funhouse behind me
I see what’s ahead of me
A plethora of pathways
A symphony of the best of me
So welcome each new day
With gratitude and energy
Welcome each new face
As a potential
Friend
Lover
Muse
Confident
Comrade
Or partner in crime
Welcome creativity
Hope that it flows
So my story
The whole world knows
Acquiesce to the rapturous nature
Of life on earth
And you’ll never fail
If you never give up

To be honest I’m having a little writers block, I put it down to a level of content in my life that has stifled my creativity… And possibly that I’ve run out of wine. No art without pain, for me at least, so what else is there but to give thanks for that little crumb of happiness that would be disappointing for most but for me is truly beautiful.
I’m still mining the work I did in jail and will post some more of them whilst I wait for fresh inspiration.

Inspiration comes from reading – if you read about the writers, their work, and the extracts in my Literary Series, you would pick up some ideas. Australia, the landscape, the animals,…
Thank you for reading about Swamiji.

Maybe it’s not content but contentment. LOL

An uplifting poem, Christo. ❤
Most writers experience blocks. It's hard for me to write on command. I keep a list of ideas for future poems and write down ideas when they come to me. Often I wake up, sometimes in the middle of the night, with poems on my mind. I draft them down before I lose them and finish them later when I have time. Generally, I find it helpful to let drafts rest for a day or so and come back to revise and edit them.
Take time to relax and do something that inspires you. All the best!
