Inwardly Reorganized Plus

I saw that my friend was much more than inwardly reorganized. ~ Alcoholics Anonymous, pages 11-12
Housekeeping chores abound,
compound, confound.
It's hard enough when you can see,
when measuring progress is physical,
thing by thing, area by area.
Yet the harder rearranging is internal,
and oh, how much more needed!
How great the increased potential.
Toss out the hatred, the spite, the envy.
Resentments piled in boxes,
ready to haul away.
Priorities set straight,
rabbit trails discarded,
a shine on the new-found hope,
trust covering everything in confidence
like pixie dust. Housecleaning done,
we survey the results to find new growth —
potential —
blossoming in long-abandoned plots.
