We see things as we are
Not as other people or things are
We see things according to
Our prejudices
Our assumptions
Our ideas
Our background
Our experiences

what you think of you
determines your choices
reflecting your schemata

every day actions
show your character

Zany zealot
Fervently on fire
Enthusiastically single-minded
Fanatical and furiously frenzied

Charisma wafts into my dreams
Teasing my wise brain dendrites
Showing them connections
to my pathway toward empathy.

Enthusiasm is squarely winning
Taking charge of my artistic muse
who is persuasive with other 
areas of my mindful schemata

Childlike joy shows rapt interest
in the affection charisma is instilling
as I sleep, listening to the lively,
loving melody of the cosmos...
