Valley Of Contentment

Goldfinch60



Each day we climb those mountains,

Those mountains of pleasure before us.

The more we climb the more exhausted,

The more exhausted we become.

Each moment we climb

We climb to find that happiness,

But then we find that place,

That place we were striving for.

It is found not up the mountains we climb

But we find it in the valley,

The valley of contentment .

                      I like this view from the valley where one can savour the serenity without exhausting oneself in the search. Sit-back and enjoy, as it were. A poem of wisdom and very well crafted. Thank you very much.

                      Kind regards,
                      Tony.

                          exactly - the contentment lies within us, but we keep seeking it elsewhere
