L Milton Hankins Poet Dizain

Agendaless Exuberance

Overwhelmed by the inconceivable,
Giddy for the future for no reason
Whatever success is achievable,
Unmoved by thoughts of personal treason
Delighted by the sounds of the season,
Alive in the vibrance of each moment
Gleeful shouting that cannot be silent,
Lost in feelings of freedom’s ecstasy
Thoroughly happy with no clear intent,
Knowing this is my future’s destiny.

Sotto Poet November 26, 2021 at 12:58 PM Milton, your poem is eloquent. Your words deeply impacted me, and I hope that nothing worries you and that those emotions of personal betrayal go away, enabling you to smile and be strong once more.
