When we focus on
what we don't have
we can end up
with our gazes becoming fixated
by the magnetism
of a black hole
a black hole
in your soul
that exists like
an infants desire
to have everything
every whim and wish
fulfilled instantly
by an omniscient goddess
a desire that becomes a demon
if you don't find salvation
on the dry land of the ordinary
for there is a far greater,
deeper, vaster ocean
of things you do not have
in your life
compared to the little island
of what you do have
and if your eyes get locked
by the pull
of that black hole
it will blind you
to the ordinary things
that are good enough
and that are
under your nose
right under your feet
good enough life
good enough work
good enough family
good enough friends
good enough pleasures
so, here's a toast to what we have
for it may well be good enough
