FORWARD MOVING

Penni Livingston

Do you linger anywhere in your life?

Do you focus on strength or on strife?

How do you identify, the form asked.

How can a question remove a mask?

I get to be whoever I want, you too.

I enjoy being me, whatever I do.

Wish I didn’t lose my keys or my shit.

Time will tell true, whatever the stint.

The work assigned is self- appointed,

Holy work, divinely anointed.

Dedication to purpose, doing good,

Connected to Love, the best livelihood.

What to do when denied the best?

Close the eyes and get some rest.

Intentionally delve the depths down under.

Clues galore bring light to wonder.

Who you are is not your name.

Feeling inadequate? That’s insane.

Inner strength brings clarity of vision.

Gifts one insight for one’s mission.

On the lighted path, obstacles are seen,

Maneuvering through the material dream.

Not over-thinking, rumination barred,

no unresolved conflict leaves the mindscape marred.

Intuition develops as wisdom is sought.

The pearl of great price cannot be bought.

Our earning power is ours to give.

The world at play is how to live.

Watchful of that indemnification clause,

Joy and Justice apply Love’s higher laws.

Do no harm, everyone’s best lived goal,

as we reach the potential of our Selfless Soul.

Satisfaction arrives, expectations met.

Pleasure derived with no regret.

Going forward is not standing still,

exercising the rights of free will.
