Work Becomes Poetic
Earliest goals were making the grades.
Tests, facts, and rulers 'till honor roll made.
Then commencement to land the best jobs.
Resumes, interviews, front of the mob.
On the job mission to beat competition.
Keeping up, looking smart, seize that ambition.
Then one day, pressure conduces to peace.
Seeking success to feel worthy does cease.
A more graceful driver initiates flow.
Conscious creating takes over the show.
Finding the calling, the inner voice speaks.
Striking the balance, potency peaks.
Today in my work, let this be my task:
Bury the falsity; take off the mask.
Let push meet surrender and melt into one.
The dance of creation has truly begun.
The work will advance because I was here.
Because I am balanced, the path becomes clear.
What needs to exist in the world at this time
Comes powerfully through shifted paradigm.
Reason plus yielding sums elegant team.
Seeing results, not as hard as it seemed.
Inspired action, with instinct braid.
My work adds up to a life well played.
Let's not settle for boring, unfulfilling work. Let's let our work be a conduit for unleashing our passion and purpose in the world!
