let the music play


when it’s time to sleep and all your daytime reveries
have been gathered in that cavern of your mind
be calm be silent and let them run amok for that is
how they arrived and wish to be set free as dreams

the universes’ synthesis and constancy is chaos
in this flux it has lived much longer than us
and gathered such wonderment in its dissonance
for it knows so many more secrets than we do

when the wind blows it does so in swirls and straight lines
in all directions without seemingly in rhythm or sync
and when the leaves sway in its grasp they dance and jitter
without step as do the ripple and waves of the sea

and if we listen carefully to the trickle of raindrops and
know that no snowflake is the same we then recognize
that all is unique in its makeup from dusk to dawn
let the universe music play as it may for it is what makes
the night, the day
 
 
 
  • for poets united; midweek motif: happiness is accepting all life gives you and puting it in perspective

  1. I do like the idea of accepting life as it is. Really we can do no more than that sometime. If we fight what is today, it is hard to find happiness in the day!

  3. I like the various things which are likely to bring about happiness, if we let them take their natural course; accepting the highs and the lows, should offer a balance and happiness should be there to be enjoyed...

  5. The universe holds the answers...maybe if we listen we can absorb some of them..they are there for those who are willing to learn i suppose?

  6. Perhaps it is the seeking of those secrets that renders a source of happiness (rather than just using the channel changer).
    Thanks for another thought provoking work
