What do you have

by Michael John Gould

When I walk into the vast sunset
I recall the beautiful sunrise that was observed 
I see what was imagined 
What transpired 
And the outcome
Wishing I prayed more
Believed more
And what was prepared for
As I sit in the rainfall 
I feel alive
Native American flute puts me at peace during heartfelt times
Wishing for this 
Preparing for that
And praying for everything 
During these times you need guts pure guts
Which will lead you to overall good fortune 
Now fortune could mean several things
The obvious is money and glory
But I wish for happiness and pure family 
Anything else is pure nonsense
A good laugh and a good love is what the soul needs
Cravings come and go 
But your Soul is what you have
