The Coins of My Good Fortune

Paint a picture
of a life worth spending
and shiver at the possibilities.

The coins
of my good fortune
will not last
in these travel clothes;
my boots worn thin
by so many miles.

The silver jingles
and is meant to be given
to the poorest days
who hold out their hands
for something more.

I cinch my belt tighter
and gather the courage
to walk with focused joy
toward the destinations

where I collapse
in laughter

and no reward
is greater
than abundant kindness.
