Birthright.
Let tight knots stifling the spirit
slacken and shake loose soft streams of quiet.
Untie and fledge troubled feelings.
then allow freedom of will to feather and fly.
Take wing to painless self-nurture
where pride's failure to smile never applies.
Success will become unbounded
if breath gains depth before climbing high.
Find fervent zeal within chosen
fields and taste love-seeds waiting in life.
If fed with action and tended
with attitude mood's fruitage alters minds.
Contentment oils good digestion
and satisfied hearts soon learn to lighten.
Every breath engages a purpose
of daily betterment by those valuing time.
Humans are born to share love's
reasons for laughter with acts of kindness.
Joy is created a birthright so let
out hurts if happiness starts fading inside.

A very optimistic view of human nature and our purpose as a species. Your way with words astounds me. Also, the fact that you don't stray from the message you're trying to portray at all is incredible. Well done.
Thanks a load Nicholas for this supportive comment on my poetic efforts - so pleased you enjoyed "way with words" in getting the message across.
You had me breathing slowly and evenly and feeling at peace Fay.....It's been harder to feel just sheer joy lately - which I used to feel for absolutely no reason at all! Just joy! Your first stanza says it all - if the knots would loosen, the joy is still there!
Ah - that is a true compliment Lorna to know the words got right through to your core and you felt the peace my verse proclaimed. Am very grateful for your encouraging comment dear friend.
