Toss a stone into a pond,
watch the circles grow.
Grab a silver ring from the
merry-go-round of life.
Whistle into the wind,
let vibrations run through you.
Skip along a walkway,
let giggles emerge.
Put aside your chores,
let the daily grind rest.
Time and time again
we miss the modicums of joy.
Love came and whisper to me,
your life is finite,
and you an exquisite imperfection,
someday you will fall like the leaves
and your blood won’t be red any more,
you will pass the gate of silence,
at the intersection between the forgettable before
and the unending after,
so, don’t put it off,
find the sun on your eye
and the songs on your heart,
give rest in the poetry of light

I copied everyone I thought was cool
Until I allowed me to be myself
I wasn’t as cool as my illusions
Not as brave as I credited others
Find out what’s true for yourself
You’re bound to save a lot of time
Say good-bye to NOT AS GOOD AS
Any measure must be your own
If there is a final reckoning
Copycats never look the same
Better to cash in on an original
YOU ARE YOU always prevails
I love trying many things
Hoping to surprise myself
In the result or in the midst
In a sudden emphasis shift
At least in my point of view
By knowing and controlling
How everything’s gonna be
Dooms life to such monotony
Enjoy finding the frogs with fur
And then tell everyone about it
Nothing will ever really happen
If you only paint by the numbers
Defy numbers color randomly
Surprises await along the way
So many new points of view
with no identified source or says who
the aarp cards have expiration dates
but birth certificates don’t have any
so live each day as if it were your first
be playful, excited, try the impossible
there never are any dress rehearsals
nothing really counts, no final scores
Wisdom
Not doing multiple times that which never worked
Kindness
Not doing multiple times that which hurts
Boredom
Doing multiple times
Absence
Not doing
Existence
Doing
Things that give pleasure
I say are never really gone
We can provide us comfort
Better forget about speed
So if we take things slow
We will find what we need
100% organic gluten free
Hugs and kisses all ways
So familiar to you and me
Say no more shut the door
