​New Year 2022

I greeted 2022
the year ahead-
What will I be?
What will I do?
I asked myself
while sick in bed.
Was it the food
or the dark comedy
I chose to see?
Was it bad karma
I had to release
or soul-chosen tool
to find inner peace?
‘Why do we all
often suffer
so needlessly?’
I asked the Universe
in my own pain.
‘What is the purpose?
In Life’s own Process,
what is our gain?
Universal Intelligence,
is Needless Suffering
simply Wisdom to gain?
How do we stop
all the needless pain
as we create
and co-create
our precious lives?’
A simple answer
started me so,
for I already knew
the answer too.
Be more careful
of what you take in-
into your body,
into your heart,
into your mind.
How does it feel?
Does it harm or heal?
Is it really
a healthy choice?
You already know.
How does it feel?
Your Feelings reveal
the Answers you seek.
So what will we be
and what will we do
as we enter into
this New Year 2022?
