Forever And Counting

 

 

Infinity is reality

Mixed with

A state of mind.

 

The key ingredient

Is to mix

Only One day at a time

one day at a time.

 

You should never

Let your heart

Start to boil,

For it is best

When it just simmers.

 

That is the key

To not letting your spirit

Evaporate

Before its time.

 

Then your soul

Will never be served cold.

To those who get nourishment

From your memories

That impact their lives.

That's an interesting way to think about life. Life can be very long, almost as if it was infinity as long as you have a healthy state of mind and your heart is pumping freely, not boiling angrily. When you are angry, taking on stress that is when death comes knocking at your door. This was thoughtfully written!

You are very welcome!

I love that analogy of hearts boiling. Trying not to let the spirit burn off like cheap cooking wine. This poem is like a little recipe for life. Good eatin' Dale! Your writing is tasty too.

A heart on simmer. I like that. Boiling over sounds like spilt milk, no good. We are a long time dead. Each moment counts. Best we make the most of all those moments. Hope you are doing ok Dale.

thank you chris. I am doing well, I hope you are as well.

All reasonable here Dale. You take care now :)

Indeed, just one day at a time. Actually, just one moment would be better. If you can manage this, your heart will never boil over the past or future, for you will know the only time is now.

Profound words and imagery

Infinity is reality
You should never
Let your heart
Start to boil,That is the key
To not letting your spirit
Evaporate
Then your soul
Will never be served cold.

BTW, have you thought about joining Medium.com? I'm finding it an exceptional blogging platform. I joined in March, after being a non-paying member for a couple of years. I'm aleady seeing a growing payout. Yes, it's small for now. But, the membership fee is $5 a month and I made that those three of weeks in March, and in April, I made almost three times that. Even more importantly, I feel like I make real connections with writers and improving as a writer myself.

Medium is ad-free. I don't get anything out of promoting becoming a member to you. Well… I suppose I'd get those pennies for your reading my articles. The way it works, from my understanding (and I admit my understanding is simplistic), is that we all pay our membership fees and then access and read whatever interests us, as other members read our work. Then, a portion of our fees is spread out across the members whose work we read.
