Feeling poor
I tried buying my way to happiness.
It all ended in the ruins of dumps and landfills.
My own Spirit still haunted me with want.
Feeling lonely
I looked into so many eyes.
Opening up my arms and legs to all comers,
I hoped to find a way to prop open the door to my heart.
Still it slammed shut in my face over & over again.
Finally I surrendered
Sitting
Quietly
Day after Day
Breathing In
Breathing Out.
The seed God planted in me has room to grow into
A Divine Garden of Life, overflowing my heart.
Now Love & Abundance begin within.
