I have wanted more
Than this, I have that is mine
A long, lonely time,
But now I become content
With all, there is for me here.
The many blessings
I now view with clarity
I am safely homed
With multitudes that bring joy,
Even alone there is love.
I thought acceptance
Was necessary to joy,
But now I am found
Content to be here, alive,
To navigate survival.
I have no rival
In this gentle full quiet;
Only grapple with
My yesterday’s self – competes,
“Be a better best, today.”
I am enough being love,
I have enough here gathered,
Life, LOVE, is reason enough.

This is another from the wee hours. When dark wraps around me, I turn to the light that is always present.
