Heart implant done,
everything good
not a problem
a heart enhancement
what could seem
sad or tragic to you
an opportunity
for more growth
to me
and surprisingly
I always get
a Zen-like
C’est la vie
acceptance
in moments like this
besides I can keep
working out
riding my exercise bike
2 hours daily
writing poems
2,500 in under 2 years
shooting for 10,000
before Grim ushers
me into the higher life
besides none of this is lasting
in this impermanence
I’m just a sojourner here
standing in line
to board the good ship
permanence
devoid of the uncertainties
suffering and evil
in this transitory existence
or maybe come back
become fully enlightened
a spiritual powerhouse
with powerful emanations
and spiritually and
physically help countless people
this poem is about far more
than inconvenient
or even tragic earthly matters
it’s about acceptance and
an eventual liberation
from the woes and worries
of this impermanent world.
Bob Boyd
