Views in Verse - on recharging the batteries.
It is too easy 'day on day' to see the same things, do the same things, ...and as a result to come home overwhelmed by mediocrity!
Too often also our search for fulfilment in life can be unintentionally bound by four walls. When in fact our sensory perceptions can be released simply by opening the door and walking outside!
Serendipity
Since going my own way
(I do ok)
but I can at times relapse
Today the crossword I do each morn'
Was the trigger to such a collapse
The early clues began this slide:
'regret, loss and ...falling'
No matter
what I did from there
The trend just kept on forming
Words like 'rejection' and 'scorn'
Provide for further fuel
While...
'promise, growth and ...hope'
Point towards renewal
Progressively though
my eye was drawn
To the 'mystery word of the day'...
An eleven letter teaser...
That steered my thoughts away
After much 'to-ing and fro-ing'
Addressing thoughts absurd
It seemed without question at all
'Serendipity'
was surely that word
I note that this is a term
related to 'sudden joy'
A state of mind
to be sure
not felt since I was a boy
It struck quite a chord
I must admit
In looking beyond the 'mundane'
to truly envisage a richer life
built on a 'serendipitous' plane
The sound of children playing
A reassuring vibe
Suddenly reminding you...
"yes I am alive!!!"
Life is jellybean colours
Fireworks in the sky
A silvery beam is shining
Out of a wondering eye
They say ...we set our goals
far short of what we presume
Instead if we were to
'shoot for the stars'
We might just
'hit the moon'
