"Of being good enough ultimately"


Poem Artwork

This is the Time of My Life to Live Love

this one is for Sian

The mother of my children recently
Sent medicine by our son my namesake
And this gesture of solidarity
Turned out to be what I needed to take
To make me able to continue my
Journey with those we are connected by

Recovered now reflecting I would say
If I were one to be giving advice
To do something like what she did today
Create astonishment by being nice
Nicer than someone expects you to be

This is the time of my life to live love
No longer interested in being
Better than anyone else not above
Nor beneath but here alongside as we
Are and here alongside I am seeing
Our transcendence seems to be the point of
It the correct fit for those who live love

To transcend is to care and not to care
As Eliot had it and to sit still
At the still point where the dance is and there
Be balanced in the universal will

To be at the still point turning with all
To be the universe reflected small
At the still point of the turning learning
Seeing being transcending returning
To universality forgotten
And yet remembered by those begotten
By love to live love universally
At the still point there to be everywhere

I grow old though I still find happiness
Which is how I know I am still alive
Nor do I think one has life left unless
One can greet happiness should it arrive
And know how it feels and need not explain
But note the absences of fear and pain
The presences of curiosity
Of feeling loved of achieving success
Of being good enough ultimately

I am supposed to be apparently
Not having died when I could have
Nor even yet when I would have
Apparently I am supposed to be
Surviving to thrive transcendentally

This is the time of
My life to live love

You Look FatCalgary by RickthePoetWarrior

Using Calgary as a backdrop the author satirizes the self-serving nature of the public as it continues to fatten itself, not only physically, but egotistically as well.
