“Life is only about what you are, <br />right now, in this red-hot fresh <br />moment emitting.” <br /> <br />The crisis is over, I am willing to <br />emit joyous expectation in this <br />new moment <br /> <br />My tears are spent, looked to my <br />spiritual friend for uplifting, <br />he told me to cheer up <br /> <br />My heart obeyed, opening a space <br />in my mind, the place in <br />which joy always bubbles <br /> <br />The bubbles filled my heart, the <br />heaviness left, the world grew <br />beautiful, my eyes <br /> <br />Conferred beauty and joy on my <br />little world, I saw the <br />sweet intention <br /> <br />Behind your harsh words and anger, <br />self-pity melted, I lost my frown, <br />my thoughts came home <br /> <br />Though I cannot deal with criticism, <br />it is necessary, the wound healed, <br />leaving no scars <br /> <br />The tears I cried purified my mind, <br />cleansed my heart, I look at my- <br />self to see <br /> <br />I deserved what I got, it sets me free <br />to chase the ideals that confer <br />special flavour to life… <br /> <br />3 August 2009<br /><br />Margaret Alice<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/08-08-2009-flavour-to-life/
