This poem was inspired by the duo of unparalleled parallels in the trifectas of: being completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble; and acceptance, courage, and wisdom…
Up To, Unparalleled Living
“Jesus promised his disciples three things –that they would be completely fearless, absurdly happy, and in constant trouble.”
–William Barclay’s commentary on the Gospel of St. Luke
God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things I can, and
Wisdom to know the difference.
–Short form “Serenity Prayer” from Reinhold Niebuhr
Hear, I AM
Holy fearless
Inexplicably happy
Awe ways in trouble
Abut in a good weigh
Accepting things looking up
In unparalleled living
From mirror existence
And won with wisdom
Even
Wreathed by folly
And stone, cold
Markers in my land
Amor, then willing
To no the deference
To foolishness
As know one
Who no’s the trouble
I’ve scene
And what can
As I am
Unfrayed of change
Fearing only too due my apart
Bowing soully
To the greater won
