New York Life

What is real life?

Bleecker

 and 8 th ave.

Greenwich village

Home of legendary

Fame and now, wealth.

Forget the bohemian 

Starving artist past

It's all just that 

past 

Gone

Vamoose. 

It's a glorious spring afternoon 2012

Pink tulips abound

Wealth and the

Well being

It brings

Fills the park benches

And fashion boutiques

The babies in fine bugaboo  cameleon carriages and combi strollers

And

Even me--

I can enjoy

This abundance

And beauty of having 

The good things in life 

That money can buy

Through the simple osmosis 

Of sitting here on this bench 

All is free to spill

Into the spirit

To

Fold into 

the luxury

Of people's

Unconcern

About the trouble

Of scratching by 

to live 

Without worry

That translates to

Simple unaffected 

Contentment  that comes

With expectation 

And entitlement

That life will be good

Because I can afford to

Expect it to be just so,

So, no worries. 

When I allow myself to just feel this moment

This energy around me now,

I am also wealthy,

Life is good. 

I am thankful for the sharing. 

This is 

real life.
