Abundance Independence

23 January 2019

I feel fulfilled and good,

Keeping promises of my childhood.

Someday, maybe someday; 

I'd dream and say

"Things'll happen one day."

Over time circumstances have changed

And my life's been rearranged.

Now I have the time and means

To give life to my dreams.

I no longer have to live in scarcity,

Lacking resources to overcome adversity. 

Pulled up by my own bootstraps,

I'm the one setting improvement caps.

Shifting paradigms have lead to abundance,

Empowerment, choice and independence.

I don't have to do as others will.

I get to choose my own nectar or swill.

In choosing I evaluate the odds,

Is it nectar of swine or swill of the gods?

Proud Out Loud

Proud Out Loud

21 July 2016

A feeling urges self-promo,

I want to say it out loud

And let the world know,

“I’m feeling very proud.”

Proud of my mastery, skills

And ample poetry production.

Minor improvements add thrills

As I do word construction.

I’ll walk with my chest out,

Ambling along with poise.

Standing tall as I go about,

I’ll think about my attaboys.
