When we are content

Our lives different, happy
shining, his light reflected
when we are content,
sharing our abundance
secure with our lot,
able to give away
to let go, to offer
less complicated
unencumbered,
free from the tether
our things not in control
Our possessions given,
shared with our neighbors
offered to our brothers,
our sisters as they have need
