I am feeling rather practical today, More like a merchant, less like a poet. I am intrigued by watching money, Seeing it slowly trickle in, Marking down the numbers Alotting the returns And pouring a portion of my means, Into the opportunities that wait. And what’s the point?

In the early journey of the soul, Spirits long to test the waters, To experience all they can. They want to try this And try that. They are curious.

They no longer Believe that the…
