SMILES OF THE SOUL

Folder: 
JOURNAL #36

an over thinking mind
rains an overage of
crocodile tears
perception in and of itself
can all too mightily
be over thought
one's mind can too often
manufacture
heartaches that are not really
there
man hurts when he fights
what is
rather than accepts
the now of his experiences
it is the slate of one's humanity
that labels
all that one encounters as bad
or good
when in actuality every experience
is just a form of fuel ere food
for the sojourning soul's
true evolution
or perhaps we should flip
the idea for a moment
and contemplate
what if what is felt or seen as
bad here
is so very good for the soul
in the eternal 'Here' after
then perhaps the mind's tears
gradually become
'Smiles Of The Soul'
well then
perhaps I have given
your tearful mind
something else entirely
to think upon.............

Thanks for this wonderful poem. So optimistic thinking. This is what we need for the new year, to start it with smiles and leave our worries behind.
