GLORY

Each morning
Anew I 
marval

that I've 

woken again. 

Many souls

leave the

body

while the

moon rules

the sky.

After this 

grateful 

discovery and

a deep

breathe

the days 

worries and

stress

begin again.

Although I

marvel at 

the rain soaked 

grey streets

tall pines

and dewy grass,

the dark roasted 

coffee steaming

in the press. 

The bills 

push through, 

the rent's 

not late but

could be

if I just

stopped going

to work. That's 

what keeps 

me showing up

isn't it?

What if my 

rent was 

paid into 

eternity and

I had many

houses around

the world.

I had enough

money

in accounts, to

see beyond my unborn 

grandchildren's lives?

What would

I do then?

Would I write

if there were 

no need for money.

Not that it

give me

much.

What would I do?

Lay in the 

rain on a 

rocky beach.

Climb the 

highest peaks,

learn to 

play guitar

and surf. 

Speak ten

languages,

at least.

Eat pasta 

in Rome,

take the transiberian 

train from

beginning to end.

Ride a motorcycle

across Asia.

Sculpt myself

a six pack. 

Read all 

the books

in the library. 

Love again

and again

and then

once more.

Paint a 

mural and

invent time

travel.

I don't

think I'll

ever know

what that

feels like

but I think

I know know

what I should

be doing each

day after

waking once

again. Showing

greatmindfultude

at the glory

of another

chance

on Earth.
