Sixteenth Poetry Post: Death of Misery

THE DEATH OF MISERY

Life is a joyful event

Uplifting, never spent

Breathing in and out is meant

To let go of what we aren’t right now

Taking a new positive vow

To remain conscious somehow,

Embracing joy in each inhale

Bringing in fresh life, never stale

Keeping our vitality healthy, not pale!

What if every bit of air

Took away our deepest despair

Rendering everything neutral and fair

What if saying a constant, “Yes”

Cleared away any internal mess

Life would be grand, I must confess!

Could it be?

So very easy

Releasing misery!

What if we demanded it go?

Knowing we have let it know

We are done, it is time to grow!

What if just after it died?

It promised never again to hide

I would love that, I confide

We would never need it back

In the morning or in the sack

We’d forget it, not keep track!

Imagine this is all true

Really what would you say or do?

Just be joyful . . .

Yes, that will do!
