[ NaPo 2017 ] [strike]can't[/strike]

  
There's plenty of Time
or never enough of it  
and you're in between  
making excuses for why
this is impossible!  
that can't be done!  
with the amount given  
   
Substitute
Time with Luck
with Money with
Love with so forth  
   
Accepting this for what  
it is --- Truth; you begin
a journey of taking responsibility  
for having a hand in your world's    
creation as it unfolds on a daily basis  
   
and while one isn't afforded
luxury of playing the Blame Game  
as accustomed to  
   
you do get to take credit for successes    
from now on rather than attributing
such to forces beyond your control    
   
Existence is a canvass  
   
Recognize the paint brush  
and color palette in your hands  
---that there is nothing you can't  
do in this life short of regenerating  
a missing limb or dying organ    
   
Get to know the photographer  
behind the camera presenting you  
with what you see in the framed  
succession of moments parading  
through your cerebral cortex  
   
for there is more of you    
than meets the eye  
on the other side of the lens  
than you've ever believed was  
possible
