Nice well written poem; truthful in its thrust, the mark of an excellent poem not of opinions but of facts. Yes, the aging process does allow us to reexamine, reconstruct, & to reconstitute our lives at least in attitude & renewal of mind. Touch©!

Life is what you make it and I think you explained it very well. The poem is good and I find no fault even though you did this from another means of writings. Thank you for sharing your heart.

I love to see your positive spirit coming through. I think your perception is very much correct. We maybe be imprisoned by our physical bodies; the one we inherited and failed to adapt to the environment and milieu in which we were born; but, our spirits can always be free. Thanks for sharing this excellent write and showing that your spirit is not imprisoned. Your old friend, Bob

Of enjoying life's mystical dance is a wonderful line,I like the idea of seeing life as a dance. Your words are positive and remind the reader to think positive about life.

yeah excellent..is quartrain rhyming AABB? coz I really don't understand all these archaic rules of poetry?
Just one thing Debbie? "happenstance?"..I have never heard of this word before? Is this a bit of poetic licence as they say? lol

I can begin by acceptance
Of what is my existence
And while doing so, change my attitude
Holding strong to feelings of gratitude

you could change to the above line just a thought, plus that line flows better I feel.
just my opinion

    quatrains are 4 syllable stanzas with a rhyme scheme. The scheme is up to the poet. Happenstance is a real word, just not used much. I appreciate your review and suggestion. I will take a look at that~Debbie

The poem is a reminder that we all need to be aware of our lives and must take charge of our happiness. The words are well stated and clear with wonderful and individual phrases susch as "paying attention to my spirit" and "if I stop to search my soul". Thank you for sharing.
