If pennies were words
I as poet would be rich.
WAIT
I am rich cause I found the abundance of love.

If breaths were calibrated into coins
I would be rich.
WAIT...
I am rich because I’m aware of the abundance of air.

If my dreams were transmuted into sums of money,
I would be rich.
WAIT...
I am rich because I have opened the vault of my heart.

I am RICH cause I have millions of heartbeats.
See millions of leaves.
Have millions of breaths.
Claim millions of steps.

I am RICH cause I have millions of lifetimes.
See millions of stars.
Have millions of cells.
Claim millions of opportunities.

I am RICH cause I have millions of creative words.
Seen millions of sunrises.
Have millions of dreams.
Claim millions of sisters and brothers.

and RICH... so are you.
