A self-help series poem
Post-Modern Freedom
Don’t be surprised by events
Experience is your teacher
Don’t be attached to what you have
Life has given you
So much already
Time is what may come to pass
Because today you were ready
Give up defining yourself
Live in the freedom of the moment
Don’t let past labels cloud your judgement
But be a clean slate each and every day
Die to yourself that you might
Love the world more, it’s sometimes
Necessary, to become somebody new
Change to adapt to the challenges
Push yourself to surprise yourself
Experience is your loving teacher
Time is your tender mistress
Abundance and simplicity will play
With you, as children you once knew
Do not be surprised if they call you names
Do not be shocked if they depart
You are who you are for a reason
Awaken to that purpose so you can
Clearly celebrate the moment
And finally, be grateful for the
Emergence of new experiences
Your soul likes them before
You perceive they are even happening to you.
