My Own Creation

~My Own Creation~

I hold my own self worth

In the small curvature of my

Upturned hand

Mixed within the life

And love lines  

That branch out,

Each,

On an endless search;

Predestined life?

I think not!

I’m the creator of my own story;

Only I,

Pen the pages within.

It’s my design to construct,

Produce,

Destroy and

Reshape at will;

And yet,

I,

Am a student still;

Absorbing here and there

Needful things to add sustenance

To the crisp pages of today,

Tomorrow and yesterday;

With fluid grace

A masterpiece emerges

To stain the vellum

Discipline requires,

To be written in wizened ink;

Fluent in integrity

Where sincerity is

Simple,

Steadfast

And true.
