For a change I thought to submit a poem of the past from the book, The Walking Monk Poems .1. Here it is:
YOU’RE IN
Dull time did pass – no break
Something that seemed so hard to shake
When out the window a pathetic gloom
A day of utter drizzle doom
Not even a steamy herbal teacup
Could pull the entire spirit up
For a grey day veil did suspend there
Endorsing a world that’s so unfair
When observing the world, it’s most mundane
It can drive one to be quite insane
If and only if you allow it to
Push one into the shades of blue
You may look at life with so much grief
Or consider that it’s a time of relief
It’s all in how you come to view
Let others’ needs pull on you
There is service that’s so much at hand
See the world as not puny, only grand
Simply conjure up the joy within
Explore, evolve, there - you’re in
