Perspective

it is another day an I’m in it thanks to the miracle of life in some way I am a vagrant scavenging loitering sleeping rough on the waste ground of unfulfilled promises note to Self focus on what there is not on what illicit dreams posit lack is relative energy is there in abundance but seeds must be sown before harvest comes near I am an allegory in the making a metaphor for the meaning of life one breath follows another for the sun align with the stars the playground of a broken mind reaches out to the soul in the making a rollercoaster ride is scary but sacred every downfall offers opportunities and the chance of a new dawn after all I am not a hobo on a park bench most of all I have a companion to share seat and settle with beauty passion intellect and longing which comes true as dusk settles and the moon shines along
