Life Extraordinary

26 May 2000

Ease my way into lighted soul
and sweep this way into bright life,
as I relax this guard at long last.
I am sweet joy and happy toes
in this sojourn I have undertaken
and find myself joyous to be 30.
There is no anger apparent
for past pains and flippant betrayals,
for I have grown so far beyond
the child that I was
in those tumultuous days of crises and chaos.
Gentle reader, have patience with this creature,
for she is new to this ease
and finds peace a strange bedfellow.
I am starlight drowning
bright luminous way;
finding gorgeous day a welcome companion.
what better moment, seeking
than this time found
grounded in self and sweet day
that is all that I am.
Do me no disservice of mendacity
for it creates contemptuous mien 
and illusions of disparaging humanity
	all life being a dream.
Ease my way into lighted soul
and teach me again the ways
to seize the day
and make this life extraordinary.
