is it really such a crime to smile, lost wholly
within endeavours of blinkered passion
must excellence, always be the outcome
surely room enough
for the caterpillar and its butterfly cousin
that scrawny whelp, a featherweight
among the Alpha class
fighting for every drop
dreaming: of mere Delta honours
a blessing, as no overnight fame
or chased Byzantium sails to immortality
to fan vanity’s flames
though, within each pen
radiates efficacy of humble probity

Throughout our lives we try to do our best and that is all we can do. If we can look back on our lives and realise we have done our best and come to this good place in our lives that smile will be forever with us.

I really appreciate your continued efforts to cultivate a path of connection with my varied writes, humbling and immensely encouraging.
Thanks for the positivity Andy!
From humble beginnings of youth , life can metamorphosis
Into greatness, nothing wrong with dreams,,
Best to you
Nothing at all.
Thank you!
it is possible to lose oneself in unattainable and chronic dreams .. but only when ones eyes are fully opened, will one see the true beauty in what is, what has been and what might one day be ... maybe such a comfortableness is that true enlightenment many of us seek ..
write on my friend ...

I shall ever aspire, to or what for - I may never glean entirely, but along the way 'en-route between trees' as some wise poet may have stated, I will hopefully come across some leaves of wisdom or at the very least, a few answers and mayhap learn to ask the right questions...
thank you for the encouragement!
