Whatever Else
Whatever Else
Whatever else you do,
keep on climbing.
You know there is a mountain peak
up there, even if it is sometimes
covered in clouds,
even if the path
is narrow
and often rutted,
or covered
in rocks.
Don't sprawl on a log
and count your sorrows,
or the betrayals that still
haunt you.
Take out your favorite poems,
sing your own particular song,
the one that soothes you.
Think of your friends
who have given you courage
and sustenance along the way.
Send a little prayer
out to the universe.
They say everything
is perfect, just as it is.
Make it happen that way.
There is lots of love
to go around.
