GLINTINGS

Good morning, all. Here's my latest...

GLINTINGS

How can I feel anything

but the greatest and purest of jubilation

shimmering outward from a realm I know not,

but love so deeply;

The chasmic and cosmic glee reposed within,

that upon bidding, rises to mesmerize me

with its glintings of illimitable joy that

lie waiting--and wanting--to be discovered

in the “this” of this new day.

The dread that woke me up with such a start

is but a haunting of my own evocative imagination.

A fragment calved off some glacial foreboding.

And the worries that walloped my spirits with fear

have their genesis within the “me” of me,

not in my surroundings.

When I view my life and times from this scenic outlook

I discern three truths indubitably astonishing!

I am singularly accredited and authorized to act upon

this day’s one-show-only carnival of circumstances;

I am emboldened to plant the seeds of tomorrow’s 

even-more-dazzling performance

in the gloriously rich, dark and fertile chaos of this one;

And I am wildly waved, “Come! Join us!”

into the conjugal dance of existence itself;

A revelry of wellbeing in thanksgiving for all that is.
