ABUNDANCE
Another poem by The crazy Colombian
A life of abundance.
Material Abundance:
to have the choices
to do what I want,
when I want,
for as long
as I want,
for the rest of my life
Spiritual Abundance:
to give meaning
and purpose
to my every action
of my every day
of my every year
of my every life.
Physical abundance:
to provide a strong
and resilient
vessel for this
life I call mine,
and for the life
of those
that I cherish
and love.
Complete abundance:
Wholesome abundance.
Not wasteful,
nor selfish,
nor greedy abundance;
but abundance instead
that works in harmony
to assist me in
creating
the life
I was born to live.
