The sun sets on another day…
Sunset was, well, not too nice from what could be seen. The sky was dark, and it rained over and over, making it a pretty wet and really icky day. Still, I felt good about it all and enjoyed the idea that somewhere, sunset was spectacular!
If you haven’t figured it out, I like poetry. I also like short stories, novels, ridiculous novels, and the host of other things that most people don’t read. I recently pulled out my Latin translation of the Aeneid and started going through it once more. I know, pretty ridiculous. Back to my original statement, i like poetry.
That’s I have said many times I find that poetry often uses fewer words to create larger emotions, and as it does so can find a way into a person’s heart more effectively than most other types of prose. At any rate, I’ve decided that I’m going to focus on poetry for a little while and try to write more along with finishing the series of books that I already have complete and almost complete.
2024 has been a difficult year for me in some ways, mainly because I had some unique challenges. I think now I can get past all of this then perhaps start building a really powerful approach to how I want to write.
Anyway, and with that in mind, here is a poem for today.
Just for Me
I’d like to think I know myself
better than anyone else
I’d like to think I see the world
without just time to kill
I’d like to think I’m happy too
without worry rhyme or care
I’d like to think the world is ours
no matter how we fare
I’d like to think I’ll be around
to enjoy the things I like
ut often I get lost in thought
as days pass in to night
I’d like to think that happiness
this is something we all crave
but I know I may be blind
or perhaps a little naïve
I’d like to think I know myself
and yes, I think I do
I’ll be happy with just that for now
and I know that I’ll be true
So as the sun sets on another day, have a happy day. It’s almost time for a new year. B amazing every day that you can, no matter what.
Sleep sweet, love life, and live hard…
