Deep, heavy thoughts need bringing into check,
‘Lighten up, man’,
Says one from the flower power set,
Release the darkness,
Run and sing free
Be the best for yourself and our human family
Open a new book of life,
Turn to a blank page,
Allow unfettered thoughts diminish the rage,
Write freely,
With a flourish and also a twist,
Any word that appears you wish to dismiss
Thrust the dark feelings out from your mind
Be ruthless, grill yourself, be cruel to be kind
Train yourself
To see things in a far better way
And finish with gratitude;
Welcome the freedom of a brand new day
(This is a repeat presentation, originally posted in 2016)
And.a brand new year .coming soon…..and not a repeat of the last two…

Eliminate the negative
Latch on to the affirmative…”

I use the word ‘sing’ metaphorically, Eugenia, I mean, you can if you want to, but my unique tones would probably do more harm than good! But you never know… my tones may improve in the New Year! 🤔🙂
