I shall sojourn
to follow my bliss,
chase those dreams,
negativity’s finally amiss,
feel the breadth of a
blossoming soul,
richer than an expansive rose,
something which I’ve learned,
which I’ve come to know
is that Life’s a great adventure
if you treat it with joy,
with graciousness,
with gratitude,
it is so welcoming,
clutch it with style.
I’ll smile,
spread my wings,
take flight,
this path ahead is mine,
I’ll call and call for nothing,
for no one,
for I alone am growing whole.
Wouldn’t you be pleased to know
that the leaky gaps are plugged,
closed tightly, sealed shut,
and now,
I can fill with abundance,
filling, filling, overflow.
