Gratitude



Pleasant past
 Rewarded Appropriately
Karma knocked
Lessons learnt
Wisdom gained
Nothing outside
Acceptance inside
Happy with your own hide

Today in the now
Challenges in a row
Chaotic in nature
Wear it on your heart
Listen to its beat
Illuminates the path
Weans away the Sour Note
 Remains the Note
Synchronize and Harmonize
Freedom the instrument

Future only in thought
In time a mere fallacy
Instrument you tuned
Worthy to succeed
Ambition to Reality
Converted in the Symphony
The instrument you tuned to harmony

Now becomes past
Play the record sans
 Rewind or forward or pause
Listen to your song
Answers within  all along
