Aware of my surroundings
Because I took the time to look
Courage was my badge and I
Danced and twirled
Everyday.

Fearless as if no-one was watching
Guiltless, yes I had no shame, my
Heart was sated
Injected with truth, with
Joy I did sway.

Karma wasn’t bad this time
Love me, love you and I do.
My dues are paid,
Now and yesterday’s.

Old and imagined sin
Penalties gave way
Quashed into never-never land

Resume, I did, to
Singing and spinning
Tra-la-la . . . today and everyday.

Under my skin, the
Vexations loosed
Waxed & waned

Xternal & Internal
Youth and beauty
Zoomed . . . Always.
