Poetry list
the only way
resignation brings a
different power and
perspective opened
not by defeat and
despair but a
gathering newness
adventure and
being no longer do
we have to possess
with its strutting
and status but to
be caught and
owned by the
invisible the love
that blows through
every life and is
offered in every
moment what a
freedom lies amidst
the debris of ego
and the fallout
of vaunting ambition
we are not powerless
save when we scheme
and grab then we
are caught in the
net that disables
the spirit and
feeds the greed
that makes us
important in eyes
that cannot see
truth cannot be
plainer I cannot
do it my way
