~ Life Through A Magnifying Glass

 

You know, there were some times,

       Back in the old and lovely days,

              Where we played with dolls, and read comic books --

       Now we have all grown older, we have become so wise,

And see our lives, as older ones…

 

         Still I often wonder where I am,

                And where I lost the little me,

                       Where I walk, right now,

                And where I’ll find my true luck, and be --

     Yet, I know where I am, and even when I’m lost,

There is always a little sign through

    The little mundane things,

               That I follow, and that I see…

 

These little signs, live in every moment,

     In every glimpse, they shine,

          And so I embrace each gasp of breath,

               Along the day, and I’ll be fine,

The coffee in the morning,

     The news paper, on my way,

          The lunch I eat at noon,

The flowers along the road,

    And the love around me at that day --

 

      We shouldn’t forget how beautiful;

            Life really is, for some just do forget,

   Although, there shall forever be a missing part,

         I think there will be in every romantic heart,

               A part that cannot be fulfilled,

      A part that truly hurts; 

 

         So let this searching and almost mature heart,

               Tell you, the days, can be soon over;

     So please truly enjoy your life, and don’t look ever back,

         Be in love with it, embrace it tight,

              For missing it, will be your lack…

 

                    ~ Elisa Laura

Words that speak to all living souls upon this orb we call Earth. Time rolls forward even if we are standing still, thus it be wise to keep moving and breathing in the moments of beauty when they happen around us. I couldn't help but sigh in joy as well as smile in a sense of sweet sorrow at these wonderfully woven words, for they hit the heart spark and make it remember all the moments of the clock lived thus far.
So true it is though and it is what brings the smile... Those tiny moments of light that we can look forward to tomorrow.

Great Ink!
Aaron - Wolfwind

Thank you so kindly Aaron, you're a sweet friend, and great author yourself, and I'm truly sorry, I didn't come by yet, as much as I'd prefere, but I will. Going through a bit of a weird time (again) with my health, but it will be ok... :) You guys made my morning thus far with your sweet and heartfelt comments... can't thank you enough, my best, Elisa

[Wolfwind]

No rush to review Elisa. You're health come first, for that is what shall continue your bright energy flowing through your ink and onto your page. I hope you feel better soon. Hope, light and Healing energy your way! =)

Thank you again for the trust, and extra time you give me Aaron, it means a lot... you write beautifully, and so pure... read you always :)

"Now we have all grown older, we (have become) so wise"- try not to switch between tenses in the same lines.

"A part that (cannot) be fulfilled"-just switched around the negative :)

This poem is beautiful; it's one of my favorites. Your photo also added to the experience (I wish I had a window like that).

Thank you very much for the help with my grammar my friend, I shall change it as soon as I can... :)

Thanks for having "really felt" the poem too, it means much to me, me and Paris, have a special bond... as you watch closely ;)

[Kenaz]

We long to be older then long to hold onto the past...makes me ponder

I'm an old soul, they have called me that many times, in my life, living in a younger body, I believe in the contradiction, landing up one day very rejuvenated ;) the older I get.

[Kenaz]

I get called out for thinking too much some times, I guess some people are just born older.

Thinking too much is never bad... it's just it can, overkill. (perfectionism) is great, being your own worst enemy can be great, but not to dug your own grave. There needs to be balance. I think you're an old soul too in many ways.

[Kenaz]

Maybe not old, but I feel as though I've lived before, which may sound odd. Though probably not to you

Not odd at all, it sounds odd, when you don't let it in, fully ;) exactly, you start to get to know me.

[Birdman313]

a lovely poem and the music brings out the beauty in the words

Thank you very much! :)

[Joyce S. Greene]

Keep smiling, Elisa. Your words are so very true - life is so short and none of us have a guarantee on tomorrow. Your thoughts reflect my own this morning. Always too much to do, and then, blink, the time is gone and what have I really accomplished? Another day, another dollar . . . But at least we're alive and each moment can be enjoyed if we just make the effort. Thanks for lending me your magnifying glass this morning. Write on!

Thank you so so much J ... Coming from you means much to me,no shall, I shall.... :)you too ok? Smiling hug Eli, till soon sweet woman x

[Frieda P]

We tend to lose that amazement with life as we get older sometimes, never lose that wonderment is the loveliest of messages in your poetry Elisa. Muchly enjoyed your thoughts and the music with my amazing cuppa....thanks for sharing this one my wonderful friend! Baci xo

Fri, dear, thank you so much.... You are right, Bongiorno a te mia cara... :) enjoy the day as much as you can tesoro, muwah till I hope soon... Xx

[Frieda P]

Be well my lovely sis, lighting candles for you and wishing on a star. :-) xo

Thank you so much big Sis... tears.... :( and :) love you!xxxxx

[Kelly Scheppers]

I just learned yesterday that a friend of mine died from a heart attack. I hadn't seen him in a few years, but I often envied his life...his big house, his marriage, even his car. He had it all at such a young age...at least that's what I thought until yesterday. Now, I can only think of his wife.

You've touched on a nerve with this one, Elisa...a most profound and inspiring message.

Bless you!

Thank you so much sweetest for this important message you give here too Kel, thank you for being so honest, and will mail you back as soon as I can, with te explanation of that ;) one thing...love and miss you much too xxx

[Inda]

I don't have the rights words to tell you how much i enjoyed this, partly because I do not posses the ability to write such positive words and deliver such a message as clear as you do and that just made me smile, your talent is shining brightly here Elisa!

Thank you dear, for shining as bright as you do with your own words on my page, and for this poem. I'm always happy to see you Inda. :)

[Jack...]

So very honest you have reached out to us today with words of beautiful wisdom and truth. Indeed, we look for where we have been, who we remember as we and often forget to embrace this that is ours right now. Wonderfully written my sweet friend.

I hope you feel better soon.

Thank you very much my sweet friend :)

~beautiful-nostalgia looking inward for being
without living in the then-i just love all the
colorful imagery-one of your best writes!!!~ :))
~your self awareness shines through~truly magnificent!~ :)

Thank you again very much my friend, for always reading me... :) see you soon!

~indeed~vurrry welcome!~ ;)

[Sugar Plum ♥]

Beautiful piece, full of life and pointing out the most precious time for us to live! I can admire that write, it`s full of details, which fill my heart with joy and memories about the past...Nostalgia can be so good, when the light of the memories glow...And we have to keep and understand still that child inside each of us, as he see the things better than we do. The wise grown people ask so many questions, on which they don`t receive any answer, until they become children again :) SO truth and profound write! really beautiful, dearest Eli!

Thank you Nina, for exactly feeling where I wanted to go with this write, my dear. You always do... you think like me. I so apperciate you for this... it's not needed to be DEEP always, it just needs to feel.... and that pureness, I wanted to bring over... pure light, pure memories, pure being the little one, (in hard times) to never forget, those times, (once so innocent and happy)... as the way in maturity get's often more complicated, and distracted from being pure...
Thank you always for seeing through my words, intentions, and for having the feelers, my friend, you're great, and I love you! xxx Elis

[Sugar Plum ♥]

I feel absolutely the same! (hug and kiss xx)

It's difficult for many people to enjoy the present being that they carry so much heavy baggage from their past within their minds. Unfortunately, dropping all that baggage isn't easy since most of it is hidden within one's subconscious mind where it affects one's conscious mind in detrimental ways without one realizing it. Many are in need of aggressive psychotherapy if they are to exorcize psychic demons from their past. Replacing psychotherapy with pills as pharmaceutical companies would like does no good, and just makes the situation worse. There's no easy path to self enlightenment.

All true my psychological bud, we see this, and try to help... :) saw a lot on bipolar and stuff tonight, read me in again... and also about much other simular, disorders. It's hard, the world needs just chemical balance, ;-) cortex orgasms lol... :D thank you so much for being here! you always crack my days up, I'll be back my friend... just phisical healing, writing in between, I shall reviewing soon... hugs! x

[ba_mcfarlane]

I beg to differ....if I go to the Emerg with a major artery severed, they aren't going to want to aggressively address what caused this problem, they are instead going to treat my symptom...that is, I am bleeding to death. Stop the bleeding, save my life, after that who is going to care a whole lot what happened.
Mood disorders are exactly the same. Don't waste time on history, appropriatley chem the depression/mania, get back on your horse.
Now, personality disorders, meds don't work anyway for the most part. Neither does therapy, but at least the therapist is dealing with disorders where talk therapy, excepting aversion therapy, is the once chance for success.
Folks, mood disorders are all brain chemistry, serotonin uptake, low dopamine, a myriad of "physical" sourced issues.I can't fix a broken arm talking to it. I don't care how it happened. I'm going to treat the symptoms. Savvy?

I understand what you mean my friend, for rationally dopamine, (too much) causes Psychosis, and it's just a chemical inbalance, in the brain... my mother in law, suffered from this, and we saw her more than a year fighting with it, not being into reality. Through each and every disorder is different, I'm very carefull with them. Bipolar disorder is a change of sentiment in the feelings, however Schizophrenia is a total other thing, and is focused on a disorder in the thinking system. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=do3Fc684LBs listen all her diary vids, and see how, chaotic a mind is after mental institution, it's missing parts.... and here another one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3iyIRuq4r9Q

Here you have http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KkOxCrQpliU this one is about schizoaffective psychoses another variant... all these people are very philosophical, and intelligent.... I saw a vid on your page today Canadian, and I saw you didn't really fit into it... as you respond... so I was interested which one exactly you did experienced.... for you're not hearing voices... but we talk soon about that.... thanks for giving your opinion....

[ba_mcfarlane]

I know all this. And many mood stabilizers are approved in Canada and the USA for use by patients with BP or who are schizophrenic. I know for a fact that in my part of the world, "schizoaffective" is a dinosaur DX, BP didn't make the DSM until the mid 70's.
With new disorders being added to the DSM IV,I think that one, the schitzoaffective is now irrelevant. That was like saying all leukemias come under the same med treatment regime. No shrink in his/her right mind will make that diagnosis today. Well, not in my part of the world.

Interesting... my friend.... what you say here, I've mailed you... we talk there further. Ok? for I had to tell you things too.

I was only considering the affect of one's subconscious mind upon one's conscious mind, and not chemical imbalances within the brain. If that affect is destructive then Psychoanalytical Therapy is the way to go. If drugs are given in this case, then they do no good at all. Psychoanalytical Therapy has no affect on neural chemical imbalances. Most people have destructive subconscious tendencies that must be dealt with. Most are not aware that they have these tendencies. We're all a little crazy in one way or another. Insanity is a matter of degree. No one is neither perfectly insane nor perfectly sane. Here sanity is defined by one's degree of self-destructiveness, or lack of evolved survival traits.
