I have some thing to say,
Perhaps a peril of wisdom
Or the rant of a fool
Still there is a learned moral
Within the most misplaced statement
It is all good, yes it is all good.
That is what I said.
It is all good,
Confused I shall try to explain.
I am typing fast,
in a mire of sonic thoughts
Fuelled by a single beer.
It is all good.

Even heart break has its silver lining,
Was it not the rumble of a former love
That brought her to me.
Still she aches, still I mistrust
Still we are not perfect
but within the chaos
we found some contentment.
People come and people go,
Life but a revolving door,
a podium on which to say your piece
and make way for others.
IT is not the span of our fame
That holds worth,
no it is the memories
We leave with the ones we touched.
Remember you can learn from every one
you meet whether the lesson be hard or soft.
Don't cry over all that you have lost,
It is but dust, celebrate instead what you have gained.

It is all good,
Every breath
Every hour you live,
Every heart you touch.
It is all good.

Life affirmation is not high on my list
But somewhere along, out slipped bliss.
This is not poetic, or prophetic
Whatever, whatever
It is all good.

So true, but still very hard to do.
Brian what you write is very upbeat. I hope that this is how your life is going for you.

I like your thoughts and I like the way you display them. Great poem!

celebrate .... what you have gained.
You are a very smart person, Brian. And as usual you have penned a fine piece.

Great wisdom from within Brian! A very enjoyable read to reflect on!

The enjoyment of this consciousness we enjoy everyday can't be explained but it sure can be enjoyed!

Perfectly "good" Brian. Upbeat is good sometimes. You wrote this well, as you do all your styles. Sometimes I actually feel this way.

THanks to all for your words, I can't explain this unadulterated happiness. I must be coming down with something.
