I Give Up Wanting

"...I accept what is..."

I Give Up Wanting

A new day is dawning.
I accept what is.
No more tears of frustration,
no more frustration.
I skip instead of walk,
laugh instead of cry,
no more win or lose.
I just am.
I repeat my Shaman's
mantra over and over:
Owa Tagu Siam.
Happiness is mine.
