Compliment someone today.
Compliment with the sincerity of your heart.
Trust me, you will see the difference it makes in their countenance.
Tell people to have a wonderful day.
Even if their rushing.
Mean it when you say it
Because intent gives a difference.
Make someone smile today.
Because you never known what troubles them at night.
With all of this,
it will actually make you feel better.
Have a wonderful day guys. life seems on the down sometimes but I know you can cheer up and keep on going!

ideal eyes paralyze my body
scornful lies make me realize my sin
tearful cries stream down the river
unforgettable ties finally break ends.

When it comes
to loving you,
my heart wades,
and fills,
like the phases of the moon.
Raindrops explode on the impacted soil;
Dryer, so much dryer, so much harder than I thought.
One drop here and there and scars appear on the floury surface.
No wind today and the arrows find their mark
Again
And again
Until a surface pooling forms:
But nothing more.

Relentless ramrod shafts pound the ground
And its substance shifts and softens to absorb the blows
And take what nourishment it can.
Hardened against extremes it struggles
To release the tension of the grains that cling
To one another.
The rain ceases. It leaves and
In private
The earth allows some of the moisture to soak through.
Like a hard heart softening at the sight of compassionate tears -
Like the gruff response that guards an open heart.
