Did you laugh today? (Love poem#2)

love poem 2

 

Did you laugh today?
did you give the sky a wave?
did you watch the sunset
 with a child-like gaze?

Did you see your friends
and did they say:
 what are your dreams,
 and what are your regrets?

 

It all just seems
these days will never end.

So be kind, be loving.

I don’t have a lot,
 but I’m alive
  and that’s not nothing.

Simple and wonderful words and thoughts. Our world is too fast pace. We need to slow down and show kindness and concern to the people near. They could need a kind word, a hug. Thank you Ernest for sharing the amazing poetry.

thanks Coyote. always glad to see you around. yes, the poem was slowed right down like smooth jazz to give that ambience of easy fun. so many miss out on this, so i wanted to write this to remind them.

[Coyote Poetry]

You did well Ernest. We need good jazz and gentle words to keep us at-bay from the chaos of life. And you are welcome.

This is simple but profound.
We take so many things for granted…
Sometimes we become so ungrateful and entitled we miss the little but extraordinary miracles that surround us.
Thank you for reminding me that the greatest blessings are in the simple experiences.

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

i hope that my writing does open your eyes even for a second for all the amazing things happening around you! that is my mission as a writer.

[Titilayo Sarah Eguridu]

Yes it did.
It made me more grateful and thoughtful.
Thank you Ern

Being alive is the most important thing of all and we should try to fill that life with all of the good things in life, like good friends, nature, awesome sunrises and sunsets, keep hope alive for our dreams and live WITHOUT regrets. We should be loving and kind to everybody, life is not happy for us all and we should try to make each life we touch a little better when we leave it, than it was when we found that person. A beautiful insightful write, Ern. Your thoughts are finely expressed and very meaningful in words. So enjoyed reading. Thank you for sharing...

[Ern M. Yoshimoto]

thank you Marie. your insight are always treasured. i wrote this piece because too often we don't talk about what is really important in our lives and i wanted the reader to feel heard. it is a airy-fairy love poem, but i absolutely welcome deeper readings.

[Marie]

Most welcome, Ern...
