Simple Sorrow -Simple Joy

I rise from joy-filled dreams to find
a simple sorrow waking too,
weighty worry - yesterday’s brew,
procrastination’s piece of mind.
I pray - release, relive, rejoice
with voice, stored joy, my conscience bares,
send sorrow packing for repairs 
then gamble with what’s left, my choice!
A simple sense of solitude
sees all that nature can provide.
So come what may must coincide 
when simple joy, minds gratitude.

Each breath I breathe cannot be saved
Each day a gift ~ cradle to grave ...

    This is very good. The rhyming is spotless and very well thought out. It reminded me of a poem called "A Psalm of Life" though I cannot remember what great poet from long ago wrote it. Very well done indeed.

    Thank you for the entry, and good luck in the contest.
