Satisfaction – What? Who? Why?

LETTER..0001

[I found this handwritten text in my folder;

I don’t know– who wrote it, when I got it, and why do I even have it?  I’m guessing that it was written by Sinaite ELZ who had contributed many posts to this website when she was still ‘with us’,, that is, living on earth. 

 

Please check out:

 

Even if the signature is hardly legible . . . still, I am attributing it to her,  because it sounds like her, and the signature appears closest to her name.   However, if the real author reads this post and will bother to correct me so he/she can claim the credit for it, that would be most welcome because, of course, we want to give credit where credit is due! Or,  if any friend/acquaintance of the real author recognizes this quote, please let alert us!  But until the real author makes that claim, we will attribute this to Sinaite ELZ. —Admin1]

             Satisfaction  . . .

is what we hope to find

in the midst of the monotony in our lives;

and delectation of the simplest kind

may result in brief content,

if only for a passing moment.

 

Here one minute and gone the next ,

it often leaves us anxious and vexed.

And makes us think of plans and ways

to lengthen the measure of its stay.

 

It seems we are allowed tiny pleasures

to help us get through from day to day.

A momentary kiss…

is something to treasure

and will keep the lonesome demons at bay

though not entirely drive them away

till we find ourselves another amusement

that beguiles us but is sadly evanescent.

 

The stratagem to extend satisfaction

simply lies in your own volition.

Decide to cherish it for what it was,

Don’t think of why,

Think just because.

Don’t cling to time like a grasping vine

that wrings the essence out of its beauty.

Its way of being is simply a mystery

that may never be solved by you or me.

To keep satisfaction is to constantly recall:

how wonderful it was to fall,

to remember fondly things once said,

so they live forever in your head.

To be constantly satisfied

is therefore found…

 in spinning those memories

round and round.
