AN ETERNAL OPTIMIST An eternal optimist,

Always putting doubt to rest.

Seeking truly only the best . . .

Never following like the common rest.

Feeling and dealing life as it blows,

Light follows where love resides as a sunbeam glows,

Just so all know,

To havens of bliss some can go!

Sinking slowly into a stream flowing Golden,

Journeys with potholes burst tyres chassis fallen.

Riding a Beetle as a warrior on a track meet,

Rising to voices, some charging one to their feet!

Lo, behold a bridge transparent,

Visibility looming hearts warmth apparent.

Let's not pity the tyrant who learns,

In its place blossoms flow infinite for he who earns!

Natural wonders rock formations so near,

Eyes opened wide, enveloping Truth for those so dear.

Ahh, to stone one must endear?

To dissipate blind fear?

You hear.

Oh, yes, you do . . . honey child,

Listen closely to Angels rather than devil's gone wild!

Smile sweet cheeks life is still cosy,

Adversity isn't always disguised as something rosy.

Ring-around-the-roses,

A pocket filled of heavenly musings.

Don't be refusing,

What keeps you confusing?

Oh my, why you abusing?

True love . . . the way, baby to be choosing. Loosely!

To gather profusely.

Breathlessly.

Speaking of eternity.

Life, an investment for all . . . you, me.

Take it as it comes, gain infinity!

Don't bother about that place most claim to meet good friends,

So, so, so silly to make such hellish comments.

Make amends.

One should never wish hell, in torrents.
