As the Universe Conspires
I’ve hailed my life, a blessing.
I’ve disparaged it, a curse.
This, usually, was dependent on
The coins that graced my purse.
I’ve portrayed prodigious mysteries;
Limned the secrets of the runes.
I’ve engendered myself a lonely crab
Scuttling amongst the dunes.
I’ve been drunk on the wine of triumph.
I have groveled in defeat.
I’ve plumbed the depths of humility,
Scaled the heights of brash conceit.
In the end, these were but minor points
In life’s overall design.
The all-important detail is—
The choice was always mine.

Choices, either actively or passively made, define us all. I like this; you delve deep, but simply. And you reminded me that 'limn' is a word–that was a nice bonus. :-)

This spill reads intelligently
Love the way You spilled the layout, as well.
a Clever, almost zen feel to this.
Very much enjoyed
(also, I learned a new word today: Limn -- thank You)
