Fulfillment Is Entirely Up to You

April 13, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is happiness.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A philosophical number poem about the role of intent in happiness:

Fulfillment is entirely up to you.
In simply being, there’s enough content,
Freeing all to lead a happy life.
The source of disappointment is intent,
Yearning for far more than one need do.

For some there is much joy in noble strife.
One would wounds heal and shattered lives renew.
Uncouple caring from accomplishment,
Retaining love for what is good and true.
