Aspire
Calm the mind bring to ease the words that find a way to please
The innate longings kept inside to compose and by so reside
Among the ideas drifting 'round waiting for the place to bound
Mindful thinking into form shaping happiness from scorns
That want to weed the garden plans of blooming happiness from hands
Who wish to be a tool in use with thoughts a plenty to pursue
In need of lighting cloudy days when slights of ignorance would replace
Majestic joys of smiles and songs flavorful tastes that fill and warm
Empty moments looking for a way to decorate there by adorn
Pleasantness of life in times when all about could be resigned
To a loathsome plot of ilk more than life's abiding silks
Which wait for all to see and choose to receive them as our cues
When anger, loss, and disappointments want to take our daily moments
Casting down our hope of good blighting simple choice which would
Negate the negative for a time bringing positive thoughts to combine
Into a mixture of can do's instead of lumps that will delude
Our thoughts in sinking endless spirals instead of ways to aspire
A better thinking way to see the endless beauties as we see
Trees in bloom with Autumn colors, apple, marshmallow dips in caramel
Cooling breezes, pumpkins, frost, moments to make, past to toss
While etching new ideals to define the wealth of hope kept in mind
To be a building block for love without the shadowed dealing of
Anything that would take away from all the gloriousness in today
Casting worries where they belong as to be dealt with properly along
The time when they arise to greet us as we live effectively
Making the most of our lives to open them free room to arise
With new ideas of ways to grow beyond what we accept and know
Leading paths through beliefs to reform our living need
As inward cycles in our thinking towards our truth without shrinking
From all that makes us who were are without the labeled history scars
That pushed away at our souls wanting so much to demean, control
Ourselves and others as we think about our living now's that rank
Our tomorrow's in our mind take heed lest there you wake to find
That days spent in comparison of yourself to anyone
Was a waste of your own gifts to make your life's momentous shift
Between believing better exists needing one fold ways to express
All the intricate beautiful things that make your life worth the living.
