Deeper Things

Life never works out according to plan, so be happy what you got.  Keep on writing.

Thank you, Phantom. Much appreciated.

I can't even begin to describe how blown away I am by that mist metaphor.

Lines 3 thru 6 may not technically rhyme, yet I feel the rhyme nonetheless with all of that N consonance. And then there's the A assonance ....

Absolutely altogether STUNNING.

Thank you always for your love and support. ❤📝

This is beautiful, Ahavati.  There is so much peace, acceptance, and wisdom in your words 💜.  

Thank you so much, Luna. ❤

Absolutely breathtaking,
The calm serene floats
The first stanza sets the mood for the reader it provides  warmth.
Like having a cup of tea with a woman sharing her wisdom

Thank you so much, Val. ❤

Johnny she pulled a Zazzles special- hehe almost rhyming
 
We strive for perfection  
in the everyday mund(ane—  <<<
brewing a pot of tea;  
clearing our sacred sp(ace <<

I live this Ava well done :)

Thank you, Jackie. ❤

Thank you, BP. Much appreciated.

Simply beautiful! I really love this poem!

Thank you, Faith! ❤

Just reading to much into the patters of the dregs (only joking) lovely

Thank you, slip! ❤

Dear A,

So your last stanza, are you telling me when I throw a hissy fit if I don’t get my way from someone I might not be looking at it in the best way? 😉
This will be mighty difficult but I’ll try. Love the zen this puts out fir real! H🌷

LOL! You can interpret this however you like, Honoria. Thank you. ❤

This beautifully articulates a personal mantra of mine. At its core is empathy, which I think of as a kind of faith really-- the stubborn belief that we all feel and are well intentioned, however misguided those intentions may be or become. Thank you for this. I needed it today.

Thank you, Harry. I am glad it landed where needed. Much appreciated.

Brewing a pot of tea (of course) is one of the ideal ways to strive for and monitor perfection. The third stanza resonates beautifully apt, clear and true.

Hi, Josh. Perfecting the everyday mundane is bushido! Thank you so much.

Big truth here, Ahvanti. Excellent insight and write.


hugs,

Hi, Kitts. Thank you so much. I truly appreciate it. ❤

Superb! The word was originally intended as a standard in business efficiency...but now also a personal attitude. In Zen practice one is told that you are perfect just as you are, but you can always improve just a little 😉. I bow to your words of wisdom A.
🙏 Harry

Thank you, my friend. I do appreciate your insights so uch. ❤

A, I never know quite where I stand on lots of spiritual things. I always feel like I'm a bit wishy washy. Or maybe I just like so many different aspects of lots of different thought processes that I'm just this big amalgamation of all the things. Anyway, this is so peaceful and soothing and encouraging. well done.

Daisy, trust me, it's best not to know sometimes; it leaves room to grow and discover. Whereas some are certain they know it all, thus their minds have become closed to any potential growth.

Open minds and big hearts are where it's at, my friend. You have both. ❤

Oh, and thank you. xo

I feel more invigorated this morning into my daily work already after reading this.
Thank you for sharing such a wonderful piece.

That is definitely something every poet wants to hear,  Wally. Thank you so much, my friend.

Excellent !

Thanks, Marks.

You're welcome, Ahavati.

I like the second idea of the third stanza. It is the start of the real understanding of everything.

Thank you, Joseph. That's the best place to stop so that readers can find their own way.

You are right.

Much appreciated, JZ.

You are quite intellectual... nice

Thank you for the compliment, Berke! I enjoy reading the perspectives of others in regards to writes. It's all very enlightening.
