I am observant Draw conclusions Mostly correct Will no harm Search for solutions Feel I’m solitary Even though gregarious Can hold my own Have suffered struggles Walked uphill both ways Can laugh at most things Ingenious and astounding Sometimes wicked, but None the less humor Original or retelling Now alone; isolated Except for spiritual relationship With the Light that overcomes darkness Say many prayers for many reasons I even pray for you, my reader Now I’m faced with reality A huge home in the process Of being sold to an authentic couple Loving everything about the place All the furnishings, collections Displays of novel items and The artwork on the walls I love these things, too But they are only things I think of Van Gogh A beautiful man Burnt some of his work In order to keep warm Gone forever as is he They couldn’t understand They never will What has meaning and why? A question that is very deep How do you search your soul? Are there any good answers? I look at the stuff and think Of all the connections Where did I obtain it? Who was I with? Why? But here I am with things I love Choosing those I am willing to let go And how to assign a fair value to them This is luxury People are starving Hoping for relief Dictators get in the way Give us this day our daily bread How crass we are in general Collectively we must find solutions Let’s all go down to the river There is a man walking on the water He knows what we will do He gave us free will He said to follow Him Nothing funny about this Who shall dare to walk away? I open my mind and heart to Him Ask Him to work through me He laughs because I am part angel You know what to do, He says So, no easy journey for me Climb the mountain He urges The Spirit will be with you I look at the meat grinder I must go through Encourage myself with peaceful words You can do it; just begin It will all fall into place You will succeed and be happy I feel at peace Stanski March 1, 2021 ^
