The Pleasures of Life
We here identity the two kinds of pleasures in life.
The different levels of good feelings we experience.
Of jubilation and elation raising us to certain highs.
The first are those we perceive with our tactile senses.
The visual wonders of Nature our avid eyes feast on.
Rich smell an expensive perfume teases our noses with.
The coterie of exotic tastes that food leave in our palates.
Soft touches and intimate caresses our bodies delight in.
The lilting music that fills the ears with joy and memories.
And the second kind are those that are felt more otherly.
Pleasurable ebullience lodged in deeper recesses of being.
Like the exaltation of having sacrificed for our fellowmen.
Of utter delights for having built things seen and appreciated.
Of other human creation like books, letters and poems written.
Or those craftily generated from the fertile minds of man.
Of reverential delights for having sown altruistic acts.
Of many more partaking of such nature and selflessness.
And thus ennoble our very nature and godly purposes.
While the first ones are fleeting, temporal and temporary.
The second kind is more lasting and more cerebral.
And transcends the temporal nature of our humanity. .
