Friday morning thoughts…..poem

Through our eyes and rose colored glasses we often see and often look for perfection , the perfect body and face, the perfect wife,

But there is often perfection within the imperfection and strife, the struggles within life,

How do we learn without the occasional burn, through the twist and turns, do we always have to be concerned?

Taking the time to look up at the sky and see the clouds for the majestic sight they can be,
Something hazy but clear to those of us who choose to see,

Left to ponder the fake from the true, for it is the phoniness I rue,

To look beyond the horizon and find comfort in the silence of night,
Something to balance the colorful light, the sun and moon can be incredible sights,

Too often we take for granted the simple things and the smiles they can bring, like when birds sing,
A gentle sway on a playground swing, the peace this can bring, like lightbulbs on a string,

Illuminating a thinking mind, someone who is often content to be left behind, rather than follow the crowd and become spiritually blind,

Friday morning thoughts as I now unwind, pondering what waits as I get closer to the finish line……
