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
Seek not for all you cannot get Formulas for a contented life delivered nicely. Thank you.
Excellent and the message is beautiful too. Being covetous is a modern disease. I like your style of writing
... sometitimes small things gives us more joy than bigger ones, , , its just how do we look into our lives, , , , beautiful write, ,
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.
I love this piece of work. Very good, and thought-provoking.

Very well written, richness and plenty do not always satisfy, for that you need something which is very close to heart & soul. And again very true that aspiring beyond does never beget that...... very nice. You may read my poem My quest and my dream. and The power of truth
