Finding Self-Worth
Controls one’s own happiness?
I do.
Yet, there is more to it.
And.
Yet, there is not.
Why DO we fight it so
when the results are
happiness?

Yes, Poetry Tumble Too, finally continues, in spite of work to be done, kitchens to be packed, blogs and books to be read, calls to be made. (Oops, consider that my reminder!)
But I must wait to begin the next poem in the series with the simple line, “happiness”, for poetry and blogging has grabbed valuable time, it was happiness made, but now, the happiness to be made is self-worth in having gotten the job done… so I must start it to get it done!
Do you make your own happiness more often than not?
The Monday Mural picture this week is my favorite! I have not visited many of y’all lately, busy, self-reflective – and a bit withdrawn, the two latter will pass – is passing, so I will visit soon. To see the perfect photo that sparked my thoughts – and – where it took everyone else, click here (and then click to make it larger!). Michelle, thank you for finding this one, especially.
A Moment’s Brilliance
She stood,
in her moment’s glory,
eyes downcast,
in both silent reflection
and
in struggle to maintain
for she had done it
no one said she could
no one said she would
no one said she should
her lips upturned
gave away her self-satisfaction
even as her eyes spoke of reflection
and brilliant colors
glowed from within
I knew I could
I knew I would
I knew I should
TAKE THAT WORLD!
And seconds later
the brilliant colors
of her moment’s glory,
would soften
to match her
eyes downcast,
in both silent reflection
and
in grace within
as she humbly withdrew
and rewrote her thought
to that of respectful thanks.

My own abstracted light photos with the poems they inspired are found here and here and here and here and here and here. There is so much that can be seen in abstracts – if we look.
