A L O H A From Honolulu!
The heart once burdened
now takes flight
Embraced by quiet
inner light.

So live below
the wants that bind,
True riches grow
from peaceful mind.
For happiness a path unfolds
When less is held
and more is told.
Cloudia
Let freedom dance
in simple things,
The wind's soft song,
the joy it brings.
Contentment blooms
in grateful heart,
Not bought or sold
a work of art.
Cloudia
The reason people find it
so hard to be happy is that
they always see the past
better than it was,
the present worse than it is,
and the future less resolved
than it will be.
Marcel Pagnol
I’m a great believer in
common sense, and
the older I get I see that
common sense is
not that common.
If you’re lucky enough
to get old, I think you
should celebrate it.

I always love your sky images, beautiful.
The building is an interesting design.

Good quote by that crazy high rise and a remembrance to Iris Apfel with a good quote. As always thought for the brain. Nice and a good start for the week again.
...the Fancy Fresh Food Shop looks like one in Happy Valley, Maui! Be Happy!!!
Love the Apfel quote, Cloudia. ;-)
A tree is definitely a work of art!
Love your first short verse.
It's nice to read your own verse form time to time.
Enjoyed all your poems! And I do like that quote about common sense. That's so true!

I loved your poems today, Cloudia. Pixie is definitely exuding common sense! That last shot looks like someone lost their breakfast, or maybe they ditched it to get something better from the Fancy Fresh Food Shop!
