PRAYING FOR AN UPGRADE by Fiona Goodwin

I ask every day
For the upload
Of the latest version of myself.
It requires new
Operating instructions
And a password.
And if I can’t remember the password
I can’t get into the system
And then I get slow and outmoded
Sometimes bugs and viruses take over
And just when things are about to grind to a halt
When I’m so damn uncomfortable –
That’s when I’ll finally do something.
i’ll change that phrase or word or thought
That is the gateway to the future
Of my Inner landscape.
I’ll do an upgrade
It’s might be as simple as FAITH spelt FAITH
Or HOPE
OR LOVE
Your password must be changed regularly.
It has to be unique to you and to that moment
And it’s a secret,
Don’t give it to anyone who hasn’t proved
In thought and word and deed
That they will be true to you!
