Revelation
If I falter while I travel
On life’s lonely bitter road,
I’ll remember only good things,
That transpired in my abode.
Speak of park scenes and of plateaus,
Mesas, mountains, brooks and range,
All these positive effects
Lend a transient chance at change.
More prescribed things here to nurture
This long journey through the world,
Turn your thoughts to champagne diamonds,
Beaches, oceans, nuts, and pearls!
By what I think I transform life,
I have my way, if I must live,
Nourishing thoughts and claiming space,
I’ve arrived with much to give!
c. Poetic Universalisms I by Lena Smith Carter, 2006.
