All That's Measured Poem by Valerie Dohren
All That's Measured
Let go of all that binds your heart
Unveil your eyes from clouded sight
Release your mind from tethered thoughts
Then fly in freedom through the night
Be least content with more than less
Desiring nought that can’t be met
Don’t strive beyond horizons far
Seek not for all you cannot get
Do not aspire beyond your world
Hold not such dreams that cannot be
Nor hope that’s fixed in hopelessness
Be now content and ever free
When in your eyes there’s beauty fixed
And in your hand a treasure clasped
Then look no further for reward
As all that’s measured you have grasped
a lovely poem Val......our life would have been glorious if we adhere to these simple living by not keeping much expectations..........wonderful lines...........worth applying to our life
i agree one do not need high expectation or rich life to be the winner all one need is love hope and satisfaction to whatever one has to face, bravo ma'am again you made me spell bounded love payal
A measure of realistically achievable aspirations lend more freedom of action as against striving for what is beyond one's grasp. Greed for more is self defeating and never gives contentment. Message beautifully conveyed, Val.
... sometitimes small things gives us more joy than bigger ones, , , its just how do we look into our lives, , , , beautiful write, ,
I love this piece of work. Very good, and thought-provoking.
