I Am Capable of My Own Nature

I am not afraid

of the ocean

of Time.

I do not cry

and indulge in

regret

Or imagine options exist

in a wreckage of

struggle.

For I have placed before me

one simple

Sure-Goal.

The rest but confronts

this Truth as strewn

stones upon the way ~

I am, capable of walking in sunshine

as fulfillment,

of my own Nature!

(25 May ’80)
