ODE TO PROSPERITY


Whatever you are,you are rich in this-
consciousness!Prosperity is an attitude 
to be shared /with all who need
to become transformed into those who give
There is a certain brightness in aloneness
when you meditate upon the slings and arrows
pull them out (one by one)-and from solitary sadness
find equanimity worthy of devotion.
This calmness after storms is real and deep-
whether we have to sink,swim,or surf 
we are all celestial sailors in unstarmapped seas
Whatever happens next unknown(Here Be Dragons!)-
yet we still Ulysses out in search of adventures
seek the sweetness in the seeds of every magic moment
Make of the past a home to live within our futuring
and in this present island send signals back to stars
sharing our light with others makes a lighthouse shine
and keeps all travelers free from reefs and wrecks and Sirens...
