Playfulness - A poem by Jeannette
What else is truly noteworthy in our day to day happenings,
I love playfulness
It entails light wisdom from the heart,
it brings about ease for the mind,
it causes a skip in our walk,
creates a smile on our face,
it brings up a deep embracing breath of relief,
it allows the grip of worldly life to loosen
and somehow, effortlessly
we become aware of a gentle ‘now’,
and somehow, effortlessly
the seriousness of life has lifted.
Once again the play we lost when growing up
has returned
and as children, now aware of the web of mental madness
we open up
we smile
we laugh
we embrace
tenderness takes over
and the Play of the Day finds its rest
in the horizon of a content heart
Playfulness has become gentleness
and gentleness calls our soul to full expression.
Yes , I love playfulness...
