Silver Linings 10/28/2025

Upside down
Inside out
All around
Looking for
My immortality
Within life’s
Vast majority.

Following
The heart
Verse
Expectations
Can be daunting
And confusing
For what
Is needed
To grow
The self.

Let go
Of what
You desire
And learn
To accept
What life
Gives
In the
Moment.

Learn to be
Grateful
For things
As they come
Into your life.

Learn to
Open your heart
And eyes
To see the
Silver linings
Presented
Hidden beneath
Something
You thought
Was undesirable.

Life only gives
What the
Soulful self
Needs
To transform
And not what
The Ego-self
Wishes
Would happen.
