Existence is truly a special thing.

Delight in the night
Downtime and daydreams
In my cozy den
Where I dance with the pen
The creative one
My cross to bear
And my badge of pride
That I may be remembered
For words that remain
Positive against the odds
As courageous golden laughter
Permeates the depths of our souls
That we may be so bold
To smile through the heartache
In the morning mist
I search for meaning
Like it’s a lost dog
A one in a million chance
That I may salvage
A little kindness and content
From the world around me
That sits stubborn as a rock
But I’m a patient man
Strong as an ox
In my own way
So I mine this modern life
For the healing light of contentment
Some days are good
Some days are rough
But never waste a drop
Of this elixir that is
Life in the modern world
And existence itself

As tough as the days are trying to prove myself at the new job, the evenings are bliss. Without doing anything too special I am in a remarkably good headspace when I’m just chilling at home.
Trying to recapture something approaching the happiness of youth is proving tough and maybe I never will, but I am determined to fight hard for something better than just getting by. At the end of the day I feel blessed to have been given a life, free to live to the best of my ability.
Existence is truly a special thing.
Christo, a lovely poem that tells it like it is. Some days are better than others for all of us. Here’ hoping that the new job will become easier and easier moving forward! ❤
