“I’m singing in the rain” the shower is just great

could be the beginning of a good period

of happiness notwithstanding COVID-19

and energeia being spent to counter it

both in my psuche and logos as I rise up

full of words ready to be typed onto the screen

hopefully filled with both arete and hedone

about Goddess Athena and my love for her

though it could never be teleios without her

godly powers as she protects me from her line

of gods forever fighting for total control

while my Athena with her wisdom and beauty

withstanding all tuxhe appears taller than any

life on Earth or in the sky: eudaemonia.

...

arete - excellence/virtue

energeia - being at work

eudaemonia - happiness/welfare

hedone - pleasure

logos - reason

psuche - soul

teleios - complete

tuxhe - fortunes/misfortunes
