Thankful.

July poetry twenty-nine...

Thankful...

1- I went to Metro Beach and Lake St. Clair was beautiful and wonderful.

I took my three grandchildren to the lake and they enjoyed the day.

Lake St. Clair was quiet this day and the boys went deep into the kind water.

I watched them with concern eyes and I was thankful.

I became a old man and I am doing okay.

The bills are paid and my health is good.

The grandchild visit daily and I am writing again.

I do believe, we land where we suppose to land.

I am thankful.

2- In the midnight hours, I do write.

I use the music to evoke thoughts and words. And I write the words to paper.

I write of love, I write of deep rage and I write of false hope and dead dreams.

I asked the night. How many faces did I wear?

I told many. Walk softly, try to sin less.

We shall pay for every bad deed or action done in three-folds.

The cold men will die alone,

the good men, they do not die alone.

The poet wail to no-one in the 3 am hours,

he stripped naked every word written,

he stripped naked every bad deed done.

The dying poet wrote with bloody fingers.

After the deeds are done, you can't be forgiven.

The good or bad deeds are written.

When you hurt another, create chaos.

You had scar a life and you scar your life also.

Always better to be kind.

If angry overtake you. Hold silence.

In the midnight hours.

Maybe the poet remembered?

This is a very beautiful take on gratitude and enjoying the little pleasures that life has to offer. My favorite lines are :
When you hurt another, create chaos.
You had scar a life and you scar your life also.
Always better to be kind.
If angry overtake you. Hold silence.
You have beautifully explained the karma cycle here and how kindness and silence is the key.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, I enjoyed reading it :)

Thank you my friend for reading and the comment. We need more kindness, less lectures. We must pay attention and listen to the people near.

It is nice to read an offering of gratitude after ingesting so many "poor me" poems on this site. Also, the voice of experience concerning the way to live could help young people trying to find their way. Whether they take it or not is another story.

It is true my friend. I am 8 miles away from Lake St. Clair. Grandchildren love to swim in the lake. I do like to write at 3 am. Thank you John for reading and the comment.

This is just entirely such a wonderful piece. I love how it starts in a casual but great day, and slowly develops into these sort of ‘poet’s mind.’ I feel like your speaking for so many of us when you wrote this, it’s crazy how similarly we feel. Theres such wisdom here and I love it. Every line is gold. ‘When anger overtakes you, hold silence.’ This remains ever true. (For the most part) lol, thank you so much for sharing!

Hello dear friend. Anger doesn't fix anything. We need to be kind to each other. Thank you for reading and the comment.
