Owning

3/9/11

In a world made crazy

by choices, realistic or not,

it can be difficult to settle

upon major trajectory of life,

especially if imagination is strong

able to 'shoe horn' different scenarios

into one's miraculous world of potential

thinking anything is possible,

yet, probable becomes another matter,

instead I must take notice

of my natural tendencies, pace,

what draws me into passionate focus

engaging what elicits skills,

talents, sensibilities so inherent

and pleasured in process of creation

that 'ego desire' slips beneath

the great purpose of 'soul' calling

my life, inhabiting body, mind,

coloring spirit and emotions,

where reading subtle signs,

bold ones, details original trail

on map of personal adventure

which resembles a treasure hunt,

though it's not the physical territory

I must navigate in this 'shared' reality

while owning my unique contributions.
